Welcome to the Rusty Anchor located in Horseshoe Beach, FL. We hope your stay is enjoyable and relaxing. This condo sleeps 7 people comfortably with a large kitchen and open floor plan. Enjoy your coffee in the mornings on the balcony where you can see the Gulf of Mexico in the distance. You can enjoy swimming in the pool and if you get hungry you can grill out by the pool.
When you pull up to the property you have a covered parking spot right underneath the condo. If you brought your boat, there are four boat ramps to launch from on the island. You can launch off of Main Street, the public boat ramp at the park, The Marina (temporarily closed due to Hurricane Irma) and the boat ramp at Egret Landing. The boat ramp at Egret Landing is a tidal ramp so depending on the tide you may or may not get your boat in and out. The other boat ramps are not tidal boat ramps.
If you haven't experienced a breathtaking sunset, you can walk or ride to The Point at Horseshoe Beach for the most beautiful sunset. If you don't have a boat but are looking to go fishing you can fish from the land or the rocks at The Point.
If you need live bait, be sure to visit Renee over at Florida Cracker Shrimp and Bait Co. on Main Street, they have the best bait in town.
Please don't miss out on eating at The Shrimp Boat. They have great seafood and are located a couple blocks from the condo on Main Street.
