2BR · 2BA · Sleeps 4 · 1,275 Sq Ft · 30-Night Minimum · 19x10 Bay-Window Sun Room · Sunshine Skyway Bridge Views · Dolphins & Manatees from Living Room · Renovated Kitchen · In-Unit Laundry · Two Heated Pools · 5-Min Walk to Manatee Beach · Board Approval Required
Important before booking: West Bay Cove 231 requires a minimum stay of 30 nights, a condo application, and board approval — contact IVP to start the process before booking.
The sun room is 19 feet by 10 feet of wraparound bay windows — built-in bookshelf seating, natural light from every angle, and an unobstructed view of Tampa Bay with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the distance. This is the room that makes West Bay Cove 231 different from anything else available on Anna Maria Island. The primary bedroom opens directly into it — you wake up to water. Remote workers will recognize immediately what it means to take a video call with this as the background.
Nature lovers will understand when the pelicans start diving and the dolphins appear below. The view doesn't stop at the sun room. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the living area bring Tampa Bay inside. Dolphins, manatees, and wading birds are visible from the living room. The waterfront lawn extends to the bay's edge where a mangrove-lined shoreline creates natural wildlife habitat. Adirondack chairs on the lawn face the water — the Sunshine Skyway Bridge visible from this position at any hour of the day or night.
The kitchen was completely renovated — white shaker cabinets, black granite countertops, geometric fish-scale backsplash, stainless appliances, and peninsula seating. The open living and dining areas flow naturally with coastal blue walls, curated furnishings, and modern LVP flooring throughout.
Two bedrooms sleep four. The primary suite has a king bed with direct sun room access and an ensuite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a queen bed, a dedicated workspace with desk and office chair, and hall bathroom access. A screened porch has additional seating and a beach gear storage closet stocked with chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys.
The in-unit washer and dryer is in a dedicated laundry room. Two heated community pools — saltwater and chlorinated options. Tennis court on-site. Manatee Public Beach is a 5-minute walk. Publix and CVS are directly across the street. The free
Anna Maria Island trolley stops nearby.
West Bay Cove 231 requires a 30-night minimum stay with parking for two vehicles. Condo application and board approval required.

We loved the condo and its spectacular view looking out at bay. I would spend hours looking at the fish that would jump out of the water. There were people fishing and canoes coming by. Very entertaining. The condo itself was tastefully decorated. Beds were comfortable. There was a great table for working puzzles. It was extremely close to Manatee Beach and you can easily walk to it. The electric stove probably could be replaced. The master bathroom shower tiles could require steam cleaning or replacement. I will definitely stay there again. Loved it!

We have booked through Island Vacations many years staying in such a beautiful comfortable condo that makes us feel like home. Everyone, I mean everyone goes out of their way to make sure everything is perfect and answers questions and concerns within hours. I have referred friends and relatives who have booked their vacations here. I have nothing but praise and know I would recommend them because I know you will have the vacation that’s perfect.
