Vacationing at Rayn’er Shines condo on Anna Maria Island was so amazing! This is my Happy Place!!!! The accommodations were impeccable. We arrived earlier than anticipated and our room was ready for us! The beach is literally right across the street and the pool is so relaxing and refreshing to back too from the beach! Waking up every morning and going for a run along the beach is something I look forward to every time I come. And watching the sun set is breath taking! The shops, restaurants and cafe’s are all within walking distance. So convenient. My young adult kids look forward to coming here every year. I can’t wait to come back;)
My girlfriends and I stayed in units 248A and 248B for a girls trip. The rooms connect which was perfect!! The rooms are kept super clean and 248A has a full kitchen. The other room has a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. They are located directly across the street from their private beach where lounge chairs are provided. Beach umbrellas are also provided in each room. We walked to Bridge Street where you will finds shops, restaurants and bars with live music. There is also a complimentary bus you can take if you don’t want to walk. Inside the rooms you will find cute personal touches like leaving a shell in their shell box and some fun games and puzzles to keep you entertained! There is also a pool on the property and water sports available at the beach. Oh…and it is definitely priced right!!! My girl posse will definitely come back again!!!
This hotel is locally owned and across the street from the beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is responsive to requests. The price was quite a bit lower than other options on the island, and well worth the money. They have a beach umbrella in each room, and dedicated beach chairs on the beach. The setup for a day at the beach could not have been easier. We stayed in a studio, which was kind of small, but enough for us. I did see that there are diffeent style rooms throuhout the resort. I would definitely stay here again.
Nice condo, lovely pools with pool toys for kids. Free laundry which is helpful if on a long trip. Staff very friendly. The parking was free and plentiful. For a more budget stay it was great. Close access to beach which was fab!
It is not often that we go somewhere and find the accommodations exactly what we thought - perfect! We reserved the Tortuga Studio. The place was perfect! We had a full kitchen, queen bed, and walk-in shower. Right across the street is their own private beach. There are beach chairs available and each unit has their own umbrella to take and enjoy the shade. We celebrated our anniversary here and staying in such a nice place made it perfect! The free trolley stop is right in front of our place so its very convenient to ride to wherever you want to go on the island. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance.
We started off our vacation flying into Tampa and heading straight to AMI at the Tortuga Inn. We didn't check in until about 11pm so the key was left in the late check in box and we were previously send a code. It all went very smoothly.
The next day we went to do the 'proper' check in. We were met by some very friendly staff members and were given our pool towels and told about the hotel facilities.
We stayed in Gulf View Studio 248. The studio was really nice. Facilities were great. Queen bed, TV, air conitioning, ceiling fan, and a walk-in shower. There was a small kitchen with breakfast bar. It had adequate facilities for our stay. It had a microwave, fridge, cutlery, plate etc.
The beach was just over the road. Literally yards away. And what a lovely beach for a morning stroll! We were very lucky that we didn't have anyone in the room next to us. We didn't hear a peep during our initial 4 night stay.
We left and headed to Orlando. Within a few days we were missing AMI so much that we cut our Orlando area vacation short and headed back. I called up Tortuga and asked for another Gulf View Studio. I managed to get one for 3 further nights at the end of our vacation with a few days notice.
I would definitely return to Tortuga Inn again. In a heart beat I'd stay in the Gulf studio again.
The whole stay was really nice. I can only give positive reviews in every other aspect and I hope to be back in the near future.
The room was extremely clean and organized. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Private beach right across the street and the hotel is very close to restaurants and shopping. We were within walking distance of the restuarants.
This was the first time we've stayed at Tortuga Inn and I must say it stole our hearts and took our breaths away, almost immediately.
When you go to an island beach resort, you expect some things to be not so put together. But, the attention to detail and hospitality was second to none. This was one of the most beautiful resorts and locations that we've had the pleasure to stay in.
The room was just perfect, so accomodating and well laid out. It has this fully functional kitchen with all the plates, cups, glasses, silverware, pots and pans. They also had so many cool games and puzzles in our units for those who wanted to chill after the beach or resting late night. Very well thought out and nice touch.
We were so happily surpised about the overall convenience, which allowed us to take the free trolley out front to the food store Publix and save a few bucks cooking in.
The most gorgeous beach in the world seems to be directly across the street and we could not believe how incredible it truly was.
The pool out front was pristine indicative to how they keep the place neat and beautiful.
Tortuga Inn is an easy choice for all our trips to Anna Maria Island...we had a Spectacular time!
Also, I could not believe that the pricing was as low as it was for how much they give...but, not complaining!
Tortuga Inn was the perfect getaway! Unit 248 was our home away from home. It was so clean, had a kitchen with everything you need to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even a dishwasher to make it even easier!! Don't forget the games, we had fun playing cribbage and poker:). The private beach across the street was the highlight. This makes it s so easy with towels in the office, umbrellas in the room, and chairs ready to go. We are already planning our next trip!
