Excellent - Loved the views of the bay and quiet time at pool!!

We stayed at Admirals Watch and it was the highlight of our trip! The condo was spotless and stylish, with a cozy Murphy bed that gave us extra space. Loved sipping coffee on the balcony with those gorgeous bay views. The pool was quiet with shade from the palm trees. My wife loves the gym with all the modern equipment you'd find at the larger clubs. Close enough to downtown that we walked a few times to dinner, and less then 10 minute to Lido Key and Long Boat Key beaches. Already planning our next visit!

Short term stay

The condo was very nice, clean and good location in town. However we were displeased with check in process from management company. Not prompt in answering questions and issues that came about during check in time.
