Top Blue Water Explorers Hotel Reviews

Bridge Street Pier Beach House + Dog-friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Once again, we loved our little place on the pier! Convenient, fun, clean, and the best access to Bridge Street!"

༄ Coastal Cove on Anna Maria Island ༄

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this home! It is a short walk to the beach and to the marina to fish! The home is clean, and the hosts are AWESOME!!!"

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you for a great place!"

Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service and nice rooms. Great to have the beach right across the street!!!"

Pelican Post at Anna Maria Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The place was clean, well kept and offered everything you need to be close to bridge street and the beach with a nice pool and very convenient parking and access to the key band which is also nice because you simply put it on your wrist, although a code with a keypad is also very nice would seem to make sense given it can be programmed. We stayed one night on a Saturday so perhaps my judgement of the cost is a bit stern. However, I can stay at the Perry Hotel in Naples for less, my only point. Nice bed, very comfortable, great communication, not sure why I needed to leave a card for incidentals unless its if there was damage to the room. I was unable to find local channels/Cable unless I missed something, no instructions for internet, if I were there for more time it might have been more important. Perhaps there was instructions on their website not sure, something future guests might want to know. Overall I gave a great rating."
