We each had our separate spaces but were able to come together for dinner/hanging at the pool. There were no stairs inside to connect the levels but that wasn’t an issue for our families. The neighborhood was pleasant and quiet and close to restaurants/shops. We walked to eat and get ice cream. You’ll need the golf cart to go to the beach- which is gorgeous! Beautiful crystal clear water and flour-like sand. If you are choosing this place like we did specifically to bring your boat to keep at the dock- take note that the listing now has a boat lift at the dock. We booked a year before our trip and confirmed through communication (that I have receipts of) via VRBO that we could have our boat at the dock. When we arrived with the boat and realized there was a boat lift we anticipated being able to use it. The owner was difficult to reach and when she eventually got back to us (the next day) she said she didn’t remember saying we could have the boat at the dock and that we would have to pay to use the lift. Thankfully we were able to figure a way to tie it up and enjoy the rest of our vacation. Amazing fishing and snorkeling. We really enjoyed our vacation and the home despite the issue with the boat. ##### Melissa P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashley S. Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not bad but could use some things The check in process was easy. We received a text telling us we couldn’t go to the house until 4 because plumbers were suppose to arrive at 2. So, my mother and father in law arrived at 4 and got into the house. We didn’t arrive until after 6. We wanted to explore on the golf cart but couldn’t find the key. We sent a text and was told to look different places for it, but we still couldn’t find it. Finally, the key was dropped off after 10pm on Saturday night. Ashley had said one of the cleaners had taken the key. So we couldn’t use it that day. The pool area needs some attention to the landscaping. There’s weeds growing everywhere and broken tree branches laying on the patio. If there is low tide, you can’t sit outside by the pool. The canal smells so bad like sulphur (this is for every house on the canal). Friday morning around 8:40am the power went out upstairs. We thought maybe all the power was out but the power was still on in the bottom unit. My husband went to check the breaker box and everything was still in. Text message were sent and an electrician was suppose to be there sometime to check it. I received at text around 10:30am letting me know the power should be coming back on. Apparently, there was a mix up with the bill and it hadn’t been paid. It came back on around 10:50am. So the upstairs didn’t have power for about 2 hours. The beds in the house are awesome. Probably some of the most comfortable all of us had slept on. The golf cart was awesome! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7f71b42-03ab-4220-89a1-b0d227f1daa7-1753819204632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ashley S.

This property is absolutely perfect for enjoying Anna Maria Island! The location was walkable to excellent restaurants and boutiques and the golf cart was an added bonus to explore out further. The pool area was perfect for our kids to enjoy hanging out and relaxing after time spent at the beach! The provided speaker as well as the ping pong take were thoroughly enjoyed by our teenagers while hanging at the pool during the afternoon. There was plenty of room for our group to either spread out for some quiet time or gather together for meals. There was every kitchen appliance you could need and then some. We had some accidental damage occur from one of our party and the owners were wonderful to deal with and very kind and fair in resolving the situation. We would highly recommend this rental or any other owned by Carolyn and Ashley! ##### Megan E. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie W. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an incredible stay at the Bayside Inn Anna Maria Island. The house is beautiful, the kitchen fully furnished, lots of beach towels and pool toys and the location was great. We loved having the golf cart to get around town. The owner, Carolyn, was prompt to answer questions during the months leading up to the trip and the property manager , Ashley, made it clear that she was available for anything we might need during our stay. The 5 bdrm/5 bath was a perfect property for our family of 12. We loved everything about the property and the island - we’ll be back !! ##### Debbie W.

We loved the tiki bar and pool! We even saw some manatees! ##### Erica S. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H. Apr 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tiki Bar 2025 Great location, amazing pool maybe the largest on the island. For young kids pool was great and having beach 20 steps away also great. Walking distance to excellent restaurant and ice cream. The tiki bar was fun for the adults as well. 2 Kitchen set up allows for group to split up but plenty of room for 10 to dine together. The golf cart is a plus - definitely worth it. Host and property manager super responsive. ##### Michael H. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly J.
