Welcome to your perfect Anna Maria Island getaway! This beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath condo at Runaway Bay offers everything you need for a relaxing vacation.

Step onto your private balcony and enjoy stunning, unobstructed views of the bay. Start your mornings with coffee as dolphins swim by, watch graceful shorebirds throughout the day, and catch fish jumping as the sun sets. The peaceful waterfront setting makes this the perfect place to unwind.

Inside, the condo is thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. The master bedroom features a king mattress, and the second bedroom includes a full mattress and a pullout twin mattress. The fully stocked kitchen includes cookware, dishes, utensils, and small appliances—everything you’ll need to prepare meals (just bring your favorite groceries and other consumable items). Fresh linens and towels are provided, along with starter toiletries and essential supplies to help you settle in with ease.

Planning a day at the beach? We’ve made it easy by providing beach towels, beach chairs, a beach wagon, and a beach umbrella, so you can pack up and enjoy the beautiful Gulf beaches with minimal effort.

Runaway Bay offers outstanding resort-style amenities, including the largest heated saltwater swimming pool on Anna Maria Island, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a fitness center, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Whether you’re looking to stay active or simply relax by the pool, there’s something for everyone.

Located just across the street from the sugar-white beaches of Anna Maria Island, you’ll also be close to local restaurants, shops, and the free island trolley, making it easy to explore everything the island has to offer.

One small dog is allowed with a nonrefundable pet deposit.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Fricke

Host profile image
We fell in love with the Anna Mara/Longboat Key area and have vacationing with our three kids for over ten years.. We live in the Chicago area so the change of view is always refreshing. We also own a condo on Longboat Key.

I pride myself on being a great host. If you text me with issues, questions or for recommendations, I strive to do my best to help you and make sure you have a great stay. I am happy to help anyway I can.

Why they chose this property

We have a friend who owns at Runaway Bay and loved it. When this unit became available with its spectacular bay views, we couldn't turn it down. One of my favorite things to do is to watch for dolphins. On the gulf you may see one. On the bay it is pretty much guaranteed several times a day. Sitting on the balcony, you see so many birds and other wildlife. It's fascinating to watch. Another perk is we can launch our kayaks from the launch.

What makes this property unique

Anna Maria Island has a free trolley so you never need to drive your car. Our unit is only a ten minute walk to Bridge Street so it's easy to get to, but you don't get the noise and crowd if you stay too close. The beach is right across the street. Just a quick walk and you have beautiful sunsets. Besides a visit to Publix, you can get by without ever taking your car.
