Waterline marina and Villas
Good afternoon all. We have a trip planned to AMI this April and just wondered what people’s thoughts are on Waterline marina and villas? We are a family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children) and just wondering what the location is like? We have never been before and would like to be somewhere which is centrally located. I understand it’s bayside but hoping we can easily get to the beach? Are there shops/ restaurants nearby?
Waterline Marina and Villas on Anna Maria Island is a bayside property offering a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere compared to beachfront resorts. For a family of four, it provides comfortable accommodations with direct access to the marina, making it ideal if you enjoy boating, kayaking, or just watching boats come and go. Being bayside, it’s naturally more peaceful than the busy Gulf-facing areas, which can be a plus if you’re looking to escape crowds.
In terms of location, Waterline is fairly central on Anna Maria Island, making it convenient to reach both the beach and nearby shops and restaurants. While the property is on the bay rather than the Gulf, the beach is just a short drive or bike ride away. Most guests find it easy to access the white sand beaches and the calm Gulf waters. It’s also close to Anna Maria’s quaint shopping areas and local dining options, giving you flexibility for meals without needing to travel far.
Nearby amenities and attractions include:
- Short drive or bike ride to Gulf beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and shell collecting.
- Local restaurants offering seafood, casual dining, and family-friendly options.
- Shopping boutiques, artisan stores, and ice cream or coffee spots along the island’s main roads.
- Opportunities for water activities like fishing, paddleboarding, and boat rentals at the marina.
Overall, Waterline Marina and Villas is a great choice for families who want a quieter, bayside stay with easy access to both the beach and the local conveniences of Anna Maria Island. It combines the tranquility of the bay with proximity to the island’s amenities, making it a practical and enjoyable base for exploring.
