Everything was sold out, and after calling around with no luck, I finally found BridgeWalk on Yelp. Noah answered and was AMAZING from the start!!He helped us secure a last-minute weekend BridgeWalk and we drove over right away. As a mom, this meant everything to me--our youngest is on the spectrum, and he was completely calm and comfortable in the room. That rarely happens when we travel, so having a space that felt safe for him was huge. The room was spotless, the bathroom was super clean (we loved the shower and tub combo) and the enclosed balcony was such a nice touch. Every staff member from parking to front desk to housekeeping was kind, welcoming, and professional. The location is perfect! There areshops and restaurants downstairs, Daiquiri Deck across the street, mini golf for the kids, and the beach just steps away. They also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels, which made everything so easy for our family. We loved it so much, we extended another night! As a mom who values comfort, cleanliness, and genuine service this place is a 10/10. We will absolutely be back.

People are allowed to have opinions, all I'm saying is the things being complained about are a little sad!

Great location on a beautiful ,quiet beach ..no crowds, no fighting for chairs , just very laid back and simple. We had two rooms with kitchenettes. One room was across the road from the other which was okay but we didn't realize that when reserving. No big deal really but worth letting others know to check when booking if its across the street.The price was amazing...please don't jack it up ! Eric and the staff were very friendly and accomodating. The little beach shop has some basic items and beverages which was great. We had a great time and we would definitely come back !!

BUT you can't beat the convenience of being steps away from the beach, if that's what you're looking for, like we were. We will probably stay here again for that reason. We stayed at a very nice hotel, also by the beach, triple the price and the beach access had a gate, you have to go thru the dunes, etc. this place is literally at the beach.

As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

Cross the street and you're at the beach. They have a pool and spa on site. This was our first trip to Anna Maria Island and we will definitely return.

A little tougher than we are used to sleeping on but not enough to ruin the stay. We will definitely return and I highly recommend staying here

This review is for Room #3…read more Pros: Clean room Assigned parking spot Complimentary assigned parking Two pools and a hot tub Shared patio Beach chairs, towels, ice chest available Cons: Room three was small with very little storage space. The shower head is low. If you're taller than 5'5, good luck Drove about an hour from Tampa airport. Due to Covid, check in was contactless. They texted me when my room was ready. Your parking spot has your room number. There's not a lot of extra parking, but I don't think it's needed. The room: room3 was small. It had a very comfortable bed, two chairs, tv, microwave, toaster, mini fridge, coffee maker all in one room. Kind of like a typical hotel room. The bathroom was small. I did like that they had dimmer in the bathroom. They do offers toiletries: shampoo, bar soap. The bed was comfortable. The AC worked well. The room had two doors. The back door opened up to a cute shared patio and the pools The pools: the one facing the street has a grill you can use. This is also where you can find beach chairs, ice chest, carts. Both pools have clean pool towels. The other pool has a hot tub, but we eventually figured out you have to turn it on for heat at least 10 mi prior to going in. The beach: nearby. Probably a 5 min walk down a dead end street. The beach was nice. Not too many people in that area. Of course, you won't find any service in that part. That's where the beach chairs that you can borrow come in handy. Extras: many restaurant nearby. You can walk to some. There's a trolley that passes by often that takes you to hot spots. The trolley is free.

I loved the location of this little motel. It's located less than a block from the gulf side and less than five minutes away from the bay side. Each apartment has its own parking number which was convenient. I don't know if it was the pendemic or the heat that kept people away but, it was quiet and nice just the way we like it. This little motel can teach big hotels one thing or two in how to accommodate/treat guests. The apartment was clean and neat, we will stay in this little place again if we have the opportunity. A little on the pricey side but worth it it's like the adage says location, location, location location.
