Enjoyed our relaxing stay right on the beach. Being able to sit on the deck and watch dolphins swim by was fantastic. Quick few steps in the sand to get your toes in the ocean. Beach was not crowded and restaurants in the area were great.

Dan and Crystal are excellent hosts! They respond instantly to answer any questions. The sweet condo has everything you need for relaxation. Outdoor lounge chairs were nice to use! Spa pool is relaxing. Grill some seafood packs and kick your feet up! The bed and furniture is comfy! T.v. has many stations (this is unusual for a rental) location- 15 min walk to bridge street and Moose Club. 25 min to Cocina beach area. Walk the back roads and check out the landscaping and houses. Have fun! Dan and Crystal we will be back!!!!!

It was very tiny but a great beach front. I have never seen a condo that was fully stocked with food, spices, cleaning supplies. The bad the bed and pillows were very flat, I suggest you bring your pillows. We enjoyed beach and view.
Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 22 January 2026
We are happy that you enjoyed your stay. Had we known pillows weren’t to your liking we would have gladly brought new ones but we were never told. Mattress is brand new but it’s one of those things where everyone has a particular preference. We went middle of the road firmness instead of soft or firm thinking that would more likely appeal to people. Thanks for staying but next time you stay somewhere communicate with your hosts and give them a chance to correct what you aren’t happy with.

About the host

Hosted by Dan and Crystal

Host profile image

RDC stands for Ryker, Dan, and Crystal. The family behind RDC Coastal Getaways. Originally from Ohio, we've called Florida our home for nearly 15 years. Our journey into vacation rentals began in 2021 when we purchased Unit 6 on Anna Maria Island after dreaming for years about owning a place on the beach. In early 2024, we added our Siesta Key property, and in 2025 we were fortunate to add Unit 1, a ground-floor beachfront condo in the same Anna Maria Island building. We personally manage all three properties and take pride in providing clean, comfortable stays, great communication, and the kind of personal service we would want when traveling with our own family. We hope you enjoy your stay and make some great Florida memories of your own. Ryker, Dan & Crystal RDC Coastal Getaways

Why they chose this property

Anna Maria Island is paradise. What makes our place great is the location. You are on the beach. Many places on the island are great but you still have to cross a busy street or walk a few blocks to get to the beach. With us you are there. Just unpack and relax.

What makes this property unique

Beachfront can’t be overstated. It is a surreal experience sitting on the balcony with your morning coffee watching the calm water as dolphins play right in front of you. Or in the evening a glass of wine as you watch the most gorgeous sunset you have ever seen as it slowly disappears into the gulf. If you are lucky you may even see the green flash. There is a reason we have so many repeat guests. One visit and you’ll be in love
