We're visiting from Hawaii--a family of 5 (kids 3, 5, and 10) and after leaving Orlando, we…read morespontaneously drove to Anna Maria Island with no reservations. 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.

WiFi is spotty but you're on vacation and at the beach. Disconnect for a bit it won't kill you! Front desk staff was awesome anytime we had a question! We will be back. We've stayed here a few times now. Money well spent! Some of these low ratings are just laughable. People are allowed to have opinions, all I'm saying is the things being complained about are a little sad! Perfect place to lay your head at night and to relax in the pool after being by the BEACH all day in a BEACH town.

We prepaid 5 nights starting 9/23/24. Hurricane Helene was on the way so we asked if we would get a…read morerefund and they said yes, we would have to go through Expedia. Our 1st day went fine. Our 2nd day, they moved us from our beautiful gulf front room to a room upstairs so they could sand bag our original room for the hurricane. On the 3rd morning, we were told we had to mandatory evacuate. We had to scramble to find another hotel to stay at, and had to pay for those nights as well, of course. Tortuga Inn will not refund our money and Expedia says they can't refund our money because Tortuga Inn won't. My credit card company tried to help also, but Tortuga Inn waited until almost the last day they legally had to respond before the ruling would go in my favor, then said no because we "never cancelled." (We were told to leave and handed our key to a person at the office. It's been a 2 month ordeal trying to get a refund and it looks like we are screwed. I will never ever consider staying at this shady establishment again!

The place looked OK from the outside, like many other small resorts in the area. Pool area looked…read moreclean and so did the room. No front office to go to, so everything is online. Close to the beach, thinks looked good. But then, the issues started. First, we were told checkout was at 10am. I emailed the 2 emails I was given to ask if we could get late checkout, and never got a response. Then, there was 2 TV's. One in bedroom, one in living room, and 3 remotes. 2 spectrum remotes and one TV remote. Neither spectrum remote did anything so we only had one remote for both TV's. I called the after hours number at 10pm on Sat and was told they would bring me one in the morning (which means they obviously had one on hand). I told them we were checking out in the morning but said he couldn't bring it until then. In other words, he didn't want to be disturbed on a Sat night TO DO HIS JOB!!!! Second, the front door had a blind inside the pane of glass and would not go down all the way. We had 2 girls sleeping in the living room and only way to stop people from looking in was to put something against the door. Finally, there in only one wall AC unit in the entire unit which is in bedroom, which means if you have people using the pullout bed, you have to leave the bedroom door open, so privacy is out the window. Considering how much competition there is in the area and lack of service we got, doubtful we would come back or recommend this place.

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.

They have beach chairs and toys to use during your stay The staff was really friendly and nice and for the most part we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen has everything you would need toaster, blender, microwave and so on makes it convenient if you need it. The building is older and on the beach so. For the most part they are clean, unless you happen to look under the sofa for a missing shoe. But ignore it. You're on the beach My only real complaint is the a/c is pretty loud, I had earplugs and still a little loud. And even tho they have blinds I would have been happier with blackout curtains for privacy and the lights. All in all we had a good time here with friendly staff and a few steps to the beach.

Visited this Moose Lodge…read more Just like in others review, bartenders were not great. I believe they forget that they work for the members not just some beach bums. They can definitely be more welcoming and pleasant. A lot of folks were spending their hard earned money here and you get some shitty service. The night I was there, the bartender and a customer got into an heated argument. It made the visit extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Maybe consider hiring some new, fresh and welcoming bartenders would get better reviews for #2188. The food menu is small but it's beach food. The kitchen staff were fast and efficient in getting all the orders out. The serving staff were wonderful. Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. If it wasn't for the service staff, I would have left a 1 star experience.

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!

Earlier we spend time in the ocean, it was warm and delighful! In the evening, we went the sort distance to Anna Marie and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The room was beautiful and inviting with king bed and magnifient bathroom. Lastly the staff was the best asset of the Inn. Ivan and Nicole were the best and demonstrated a high degree of customer service. They answered our many questions and helped us to get settled. I had made an error in booking ( be aware of the type of room you are booking from beach front to beach side). They worked very quickly to remidy my mistake.

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.
