We loved our stay at this complex. Our condo was clean and had all the amenities we needed for our week away from home. The pool was great! It was a very quick walk to the beach. We liked that there was a trolley stop right outside the complex! We would recommend this place to anyone who needs a home away from home. The only complaint is the mattress in the master suite was too soft, but otherwise we loved this place!

Location was great and resort amenities were good. Unit was very worn out and in need of updating. Master bedroom bed was terrible - uncomfortable and noisy. We spent most

Our new favorite place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the comfortable and fully equipped condo, its proximity to the beach and to shopping, restaurants and bars! It was our first time on Anna Maria island and we fell in love with the beach, amazing sunsets and the laid back atmosphere. Would love to go back to this place next year!

Excellent Amenities and Location
Our visit to Runaway Bay was everything that we expected. The Condo was very clean and the layout was perfect. It has everything you need for the perfect beach vacation. It is close to the beach, right across the street.
The pool is centrally located and big enough for a lot of people.
Everyone we met at Runaway Bay were very nice. I highly recommend Runaway Bay for your next vacation. I hope we can visit again soon!!
