Bay & Gulf Views. Waterfront+heated quiet pool+AC+2-minute walk to beach

A two-minute walk to the beach and steps away from the Bay, Sandy Toes at Bay Watch is perfect for a quiet romantic getaway, a fun family vacation, or a peaceful relaxing winter escape in the sun. Within a 10 minute walk to many restaurants, shops, and the pier on Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach, this 2-bedroom 2-bathroom first floor condo has all you need for a fun and relaxing time on peaceful Anna Maria Island.

Two private open lanais offers access to a very spacious 132 sq. ft. of balcony space.
The south balcony is attached to the main bedroom overlooking the pool. The north balcony is attached to the family room with a bay view & partial beach/gulf view.

NO CAR NEEDED! Leave your car in one of the two reserved, covered parking spaces and walk or take the free trolley up and down the Island. There is a convenient free trolley stop right at Gulf Drive.

Included are 4 beach chairs, a beach carry cart, beach/pool towels, beach cooler & plenty of beach and sand toys for the kids.

Do you have a boat! Boats are permitted to be moored and docked at the Bay Watch dock. This is complimentary and at no charge. However, parking/storing boat trailers are not permitted on the property.

This property includes the large, community heated freshwater pool with a shower and restrooms, as well as a private pier/dock for fishing or relaxing within steps of your unit. It's a great place to watch the sun rise before heading for the beach!

Walk or take the free trolley up and down the Island exploring sunny beaches, restaurants, watering holes, and musical entertainment. Pharmacies & grocery stores are on the island (Instacart delivery is available from Publix grocery store). Unit is located a leisurely 10 minute walk from the famous Bridge Street shopping/restaurant area which also includes mini golf, ice cream, gourmet donuts and more.

Such a great spot! I went with my three teenage boys, the dock right out the back door was great for fishing after spending the day on the beach which was right across the road. Very clean, lots of room for all of us and comfy. Check in was super easy. The hosts were very quick to answer any questions I had and very easy to work with. We will 100% be returning.

Wonderful place on Anna Maria!

This property has it all! It is beautifully decorated and has two balconies and is conveniently located across from the beach on the bay within walking distance of downtown Bradenton Beach. The hosts have attended to every detail, including a wonderfully stocked kitchen, very detailed guide book and an assortment of beach supplies, including chairs and an umbrella. What a treat to stay here when we visited AMI last!
