The Retreat at Anna Maria Island Inn

What guests think

Across many reviews, The Retreat at Anna Maria Island Inn earns praise for friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient beachside location with a pleasant pool, though street-facing rooms can experience traffic noise and intrusive exterior lighting.

Several reviews report door-code or lock malfunctions and inconsistent hot water or low shower pressure. A few mention basic amenities and layouts feeling limited, such as no closet, scant hanging space, or difficulty finding ice. Overall, expect a relaxed, low-key stay with occasional maintenance and access issues.

Great location, newly updated, great pool, easy check in, accommodating staff. Water in the shower didn’t get too warm and the gate to the pool right outside the room was a little loud. Still giving 5 stars. We will stay there again.

We stayed at the Retreat area which is a block & 1/2 away from the main building which was were check in was. This was slightly confusing when we first arrived but we called and directed to the correct area. Our room was new & very CLEAN! We had a nice pool @ our area but spent most of our time at the main building at the beach. Facility provided chairs & umbrellas and we never had an issue finding empty ones. Beach towels provided too. Looks like facility is expanding because we saw construction across the street.

This is the weirdest room ever. We never could get the lock to work and after the staff changing the code 2 times and then obviously going off duty we ended up putting all our stuff in the car when we left the room. The bathroom is huge but there is no closet anywhere. It looks like it was renovated lately but the furniture is old and beat up. The cups were rewrapped and one had a piece of dirt in it. There are only ceiling lights and they are either extremely bright or so low you can’t see. The toilet runs continuously enough to keep me awake. The outdoor area is very pretty but the pool is murky. On the good side the staff was very friendly and the bed was really comfortable but we would NEVER stay here again.

The place itself is great. Pool is right there beach across the street and easy access. Room was clean and comfortable. Only negative is the road noise and you really need to back into your parking spot because the street is right there. That can’t be changed though. That area of the island is fairly congested. Overall a great stay

Small but very quaint 1 br unit with microwave and mini fridge. Nice, shaded pool that is shared with other units. Right across the street from beach. Road noise is terrible being on a busy street but we brought a fan to drown it out.

A rip off. They charge for a day but check in is at 4 pm and check out is at 10 AM, so less than 24 hours. The room had no closet or a rack to hang clothes. Also they claim that the pool is heated and it's not. And there's no jacuzzi. I would not go back there again.

Location, location, location!!! This is centrally located just minutes from the beach. The have a wonderful heated swimming pool with a putting green beside it, a very nice touch. The room we stayed in cold use some renovations, but for the most part was fine. The internet was spotty, I speed tested it a few times averaging 23-25mb download speeds. Probably the most frustrating thing was the hot water in the shower. It would be fine when I started but if anyone else got in somewhere else, flushed a toilet etc, the water would go ice cold, then scalding hot. The staff was very friendly and sent us a welcome text, then a follow up text after our first night.

The property was a few hundred feet from the beach. The room was cozy and very clean and the staff was friendly. We were in a room that faced the street and had very bright lights right in front of our door and window, which made it difficult to stay asleep because it was too bright in our room.

Across road from beach. Very few and basic amenities. Nowhere to hang clothes. Comfy bed, but cost savings apparent. No where to hang clothes, no tissues, lots of rules, poor value for money. Ok for pne night only.

We were very much looking forward to our stay here. It was close to the beach and quiet. However, the toilet was not working correctly and wouldn't flush, and the shower had no pressure, but just dribbled out. I went to complain in the morning after the first night, and the hostess said she would send someone over to fix the bathroom. Upon returning after a day out, the toilet did flush, but now ran constantly and the shower was not fixed. I called the front desk to complain and they said they would tell the manager. Never heard a word. Not the kind of place I would go back to, considering the high price (>$500/night).
