Newly Renovated - 1 Block from the Beach, Walk to Bars, Restaurants & Shopping!

**NON-SMOKING PROPERTY**
The Haven at Bay Watch is newly renovated … everything from the walls in is brand new. The Haven is hidden away and quiet so if you’re looking for tranquility, with a contemporary flare, just minutes from all the fun – this one is for you!

You will be a one block walk from the white sandy beaches and just steps away from the bay. You’ll also be walking distance to Anna Maria Island's best waterfront restaurants and the quaint shopping village on historic Bridge Street. Some of our nearby favorites include the Wicked Cantina, The Blue Marlin and The Beach House restaurants. It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, a fun family vacation or a relaxing winter in the sun.

Leave your car in one of the two covered parking spaces and walk or take the free trolley up and down the Island. There is a large pool (with outdoor shower and restrooms) for your use when you prefer that to the beach, and a new dock for fishing or relaxing within steps of your unit. Inside you will find a brand new modern kitchen with all the things you will need to prepare your own meals when you prefer to stay in.

This 2 bedroom 2 bath (1100 sf), 2nd floor unit will sleep four with a king size bed in the main bedroom and a queen bed in the guest bedroom. There is a new 55” television in the living room, a new 48" television in each of the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

Amenities include, new full-size washer/dryer, wireless high-speed internet, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a furnished patio.

Enjoy the best of both worlds while vacationing at The Haven with Florida’s Intra-Coastal Waterway on the east side of the condo and the Gulf of Mexico one block west of the condo!

Haven at Bay Watch
This was our first time on Anna Maria Island. The Haven at Bay Watch offers the ideal location and amenities for an enjoyable, relaxing stay on the island. Walk one block and you’re on the magnificent beach. Walk a few blocks south and you’re walking down Historic Bridge street. The accommodations are superb - modern, updated and stylish. Everything that you need for a perfect getaway is on site, including beach chairs, beach umbrellas and pool towels. The kitchen has all of the accessories you need for your stay. The heated pool - steps from your villa - is refreshing on those 100% sunshine days. Diane, your host, is a pleasure to work with. She is very responsive to any concern or question. The Haven at Bay Watch is the ideal villa for a great stay on Anna Maria Island.

Beautiful Property in Great Location
I booked this property months before the hurricanes. Based on the excellent reviews I felt it would be perfect for 2 couples. Needless to say my comfort turned to concern when Anna Maria Island was hit by 2 hurricanes. If it hadn't been for the owner, Diane I may have even canceled. We immediately began to chat back and forth. She gave me an honest assessment of the situation and over the next few months whenever I reached out she quickly responded. We have been coming to Bradenton Beach for more than 30 years. I was heartbroken to see the early photos of the damage but now 3 months later I am even more amazed by how much has been accomplished. The beaches are in great shape and almost all of the restaurants are back open. This condo is one of the nicest I have stayed in on Bradenton beach. We will definitely return.hadn't been for Diane

Beautiful newly renovated condo with gorgeous bathrooms. The pictures don’t do this unit justice, you won’t be disappointed in this beautiful condo. The parking is safe and comes with two parking spaces. The beach is a short walk up the street. Great communication from the host! The unit is conveniently located to restaurants and gift shops. We will definitely be back.

great location, very clean, easy to communicate with, would stay again. the beach directly across from the development is beautiful and super easy to walk to. the new construction near the side of the unit is fairly progressed along and the sound wasn't bothersome at all. the place does not have a view of water, but it's a testament to how much we liked it that we would stay again even without that.

Nicely remodeled 2 bedroom condo. It is on the 3rd floor, but that is nice because you don’t have anyone above you. Kids loved the pool and it was a short walk to the beach. Beach chairs and towels were provided. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect AMI vacation condo for family of 4!!
My family has been vacationing in Florida for the past 10+ years. We have two boys, ages 10 and 6 years old. They had a blast! This is by far the best experience we’ve had. Diane’s condo is truly a Haven; it is the cleanest and most well-stocked vacation home that we have ever been to. Not only that, but the layout of the unit and the construction quality of the renovations in this unit are very well done. The pool is well-maintained and alternates from sunny to shady as the day goes on for a nice mix. The private beach is a short 2-3 minute walk from the condo community. The 2 parking spots comes in handy if you have a rental car and golf cart. Check-in/check-out was very easy. Diane was extremely responsive and accommodating - she even had a new beach chair drop-shipped to the unit because one was broken by the previous occupant, now that’s service! Our family can’t wait for our next vacation at the Haven at Baywatch!!!

Wonderful Stay!
First of all, the condo was exceptionally clean, which is always my #1 requirement! Totally updated. Beds were very comfortable! Great water pressure in showers! Everything we needed for the beach, which was right across the street from our condo, was supplied, i.e. beach chairs, umbrellas, towels. The pictures on VRBO are exactly as the property is in real life. The location was great because we didn’t rent a car, and didn’t feel we needed one! We took the trolley or walked wherever we went. Diane, our host, was extremely responsive when we had a question. We would definitely stay there again! Book it, you won’t be sorry!

Our stay at Diane’s was perfect from the lovely message we received upon booking to the helpful checkout reminders when leaving. The location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but easily walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. The condo was stocked with everything we needed so we cooked quite a few meals there. Also the beds were super cozy. It truly is a haven.

Wonderful Condo on AMI
Condo was very, very nicely renovated. One of the nicest I have stayed. Newly designed kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Overlooks pool - partial bay/ water views from side bedroom windows. Pool was heated and perfectly warm, despite cool weather. Everyone at complex was friendly. 7-10 restaurants within walking distance. Every place we ate at was very good (Beach House, Sandbar, Anna Maria Oyster Bar, Wicked Cantina, ice cream shops). Make sure you visit Anna Maria Pier and beach on north end of island as well as Bridge Street (1/4 mi south of condo).

Absolutely AMAZING!
The description of this property made it sounds amazing but actually BEING THERE was on another level. Everything you could ever need is in this condo. From the beach towels, beach chairs, plenty of comfy seating, dining room, FULLY STOCKED kitchen from appliances to cooking utensils, super comfy mattresses and bedding and SO SPACIOUS! Parking was a plus with 2 spots (one to accommodate the golf cart we rented) and a full-size SUV under shelter! The location was so convenient to everything on the island and the bay is literally 10 steps away and the beach is a 3 min walk. The host was very attentive and responded immediately. I cannot wait to stay here again.

Diane was great to deal with. We were set to come in 2 days after the hurricane. She was very straightforward about what we could expect so we didn’t go into our stay blind. We had a good idea what we would be dealing with. The inside of the condo looked new and clean we hope we left it the way we found it😊 we would stay down there again.

The Haven is Heaven
After looking at reviews of NUMEROUS properties on Anna Maria Island, our family chose this property to stay in...and we 100% made the right decision! First of all...what you see in the pictures is EXACTLY what you get within the unit and complex! The unit is updated and modern and well stocked with necessities and amenities! The pool is clean and a very good size compared to smaller pools of bigger complexes nearby....and not crowded at all. Covered parking. And the location is absolutely PERFECT. It sits on the ICW/bay, but is only 1 block to the beach. We loved the fact that we could choose to got to the beach for an hour or two, then come back and cool off or eat a meal and then return. The complex is small (14 total units) and was very quiet, chill and relaxing. Our host Diane was wonderful to work with...she answered all questions promptly with kindness! We have already expressed to her that we plan to return next year! You will not be disappointed if choosing this unit for your smaller family!

Amazing Place
The property is in a great location. The pool was perfect and never crowded even though it was shared with the other tenants. The unit itself was the nicest place we have ever rented anywhere. It was completely remodeled and had high end finishing and high end furniture throughout. It was fully equiped with everything you would need including beach chairs, body boards, beach umbrellas, towels, pool noodles, kitchen equipment, etc. Two covered parking spots. We could park our rented golf cart in the one to cruise around the island on in to keep it out of the rain. Also, has a dock with pier which we didn't use. Had issue getting in at first and the host was quickly accessable and resolved it remotely right away. She was great. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the island.
