Weekend Beach Getaway
Pros:

Went with another couple for a birthday weekend getaway. Stayed in the Sandcastle penthouse. Room was wonderful. Two bedrooms, two baths plus living room and full kitchen. Perfect layout for two couples. Incredible views from the private balcony overlooking the gulf. The sunsets were amazing. Staff is very helpful to make your stay even better. Highly recommend the resort. We will be back.

Relaxing.
Pros:

The private beach is beyond expectations. Noise and nonsense free.

Cons:

Many rules but you can tell they are making sure you don’t ruin your own vacation with locking out of room or any number of similar pitfalls.

Peaceful and quiet
Pros:

This location is not the typical 400 people on the beach type situation. It was calm and peaceful. The water was clear and clean. For a true vacation get away; this is it.

Cons:

Rooms were pricy but acceptable. There is only an outdoor shower, most ofxtgectimexi only needed to cleanse my feet.

The Perfect place to stay on Anna Maria Island
Pros:

My wife and I had an OUTSTANDING experience on Anna Maria Island staying at the Cedar Cove Resort & Cottages. The location and atmosphere cannot be any better, a true island experience. The Perfect private beach. We stayed in two cottages, both were roomy and extremely clean. The value was very reasonable. Steve, Ann and the entire staff could not be more accommodating.

Pros:

Bellissimo il contesto e la spiaggia unica!

Cons:

Il nostro appartamento era pulito, ma decisamente datato. Il sistema di condizionamento pericoloso e al limite della legalità oltre che vecchio e sporco

Highly recommended- planning next trip here now
Pros:

This place was recommended to us by friends and so far, we are VERY grateful for this recommendation. Fantastic location-we’ve received amazing customer service from the incredibly gracious hosts/managers, Steve and his wife. We opted to rent their adorable aqua golf cart on site and are glad we did! It provides a fun and easy way to get around.
Our cozy cabin fit my husband, myself and our son perfectly with a comfortable king bed, and don on pullout couch. Has kitchenette, is very clean and plenty of space to store our luggage!
Beautifully clean cabin, great location, excellent dining recommendations from hosts, phenomenal service and hospitality! We are planning our next trip here now!

Our favorite in Anna Maria
Pros:

Our go to place for a stay at Anna Maria. One of the few places on the island that allow less than a week rentals. While there’s no pool and the property is older, the staff, cleanliness and location keep my husband and I coming back!

We’re Florida residents, so being able to book a quick getaway in a special place is important for us. It only do they remember us each time, but everyone goes above and beyond to make our stay perfect!

Don’t hesitate to book with Cedar Cove!!
