Anna maria island accommodations6/22/2023 ![]() Saturday morning, my husband was notified of his workplace being closing so we decided to reach out to the office about going back to our original reservation. Friday, their office shut down and there wasn't a soul in sight. As the world pandemic has been ever changing on a daily basis, I began to become worried as the days went on. Looking back, now I know why they did that. I have never been charged at check-in besides a deposit until check out. Upon getting the keys, my credit card was charged. Our original reservation was from Wednesday-Sunday and the new reservation would add Monday. Upon check-in, I inquired about staying an extra day. Very happy w/ our choice to stay w/ them & I'd go back in a second.… Only cons were noisy neighbors which were not too bad except one night, & wish we had gotten golf cart due to Tradewinds being too far of a desired walk to where we wanted to be none of which is Tradewinds fault so I give 5 stars. It would be like that anywhere near the bay so I don't blame Tradewinds for that at all. The bay has lot of seaweed that does not look like seaweed if you catch my drift & it smells marshy constantly. It's a pretty spot, & it was just us there but I can see why. The bay stinks & the pool was not the cleanest. There are bathrooms, outdoor shower & an ice machine there. Love the plants all around & the different color cottages. Beds were ok comfort wise, & pillows were good. Nice walk in closet to hang clothes & put your shoes. It was much bigger than I thought it'd be. I was very pleased w/ the cleanliness of our "cottage". They came sometime after we left for the beach mid day & we came back to a non sandy room & more towels. We opted to have our room cleaned once in the middle of our stay. There are other options like the Monkey Bus & a guy on a gulf cart taxi but they all stay busy. The free trolley is available & nice BUT it was running behind many of the days we were there. It's walkable but w/ the heat & flip flops, not really what I wanted to do. This is a great location BUT slightly inconvenient spot if you want to be in the midst of everything. There are a few restaurants within walking distance but when we go again we will be renting a golf cart or car. No need to bring your own chairs, umbrella or beach blanket, just show up. They lay all the way flat for laying on stomach or back which was nice. Tradewinds provides beach chairs & aside from dragging them across the sand while carrying beach bags, that was super convenient. Smoqehouse restaurant is right there so quick & easy to grab a bite before the beach. We enjoyed that the beach was right across the street. It is not on Tradewinds property so I doubt there is much they can do about that. I liked that our room was close to the road since we didn't have a vehicle it was a few less steps to the road (room #3) but the neighbors were loud most nights, only kept me up one night w/ music. Upon entering our room which was right across from the office, I noticed how clean & well represented it was. We went & had some lunch while we waited & she called to inform us our room was ready & gave us some fresh pool & beach towels to start. The phone was ringing a lot while we were in there & she was so patient & kind w/ us. So sweet & welcoming & allowed us to stow our luggage in her office until our room was ready & explained everything in depth. We did not get a rental car so we had no where to put our things. When we arrived we were early & I had not called to request early check in. We just returned from a 5 night stay at Tradewinds.
