Simple and utilitarian. There are no frills, but you're not paying for them either. The whole point of Blue Water is its location right on the Gulf of Mexico. The place is clean, friendly and helpful. And if you like birds, there are practically tame egrets and herons that strut around allowing humans to have their fun. Nice pool, too.... more

We stayed here over Thanksgiving. The first thing I noticed was how CLEAN everything was. This is an old Florida style hotel but it is very clean! Pros: CLEAN, heated pool, steps from the beach, chairs available to use at the beach, lots of outside seating, lots of storage space in the room, great cable, wifi in the room, 3... more

I planned a sudden trip to AMI and being near spring break and Easter, the choices for lodging were quite limited. The beach club wasn’t my ideal choice but I was thrilled to find out that they had an apartment available. With good reviews on TA, I wanted to check it out. We have stayed on AMI before -- this... more

We recently stayed for a week. Location on the beach was superb. Older building but well kept. Quiet Island. Family oriented. Our room was large though no balcony. None were availble at the time we booked. All rooms look to the ocean. Coffee available every morning in gathering room. Bring your own beachtowel if possible--their's are like hand towels. more

Very personal motel, close to the beach, friendly personell. more

The Blue Water Beach Club is a nice, family-owned motel right on the beautiful beach: Clean, comfortable rooms in a relaxed environment, full of plants and a row of sunset chairs with a stunning view! So far the facts that every traveler is looking for and more than reason enough not to look for any other hotel and book your... more

We arrived at a nearby resort, to discover a building site right next door. Having gained a full refund , we set about finding alternative lodgings. We had never been to Anna Maria Island before, so the task seemed rather daunting. Thankfully the first place we tried was full (this was a very busy week) but our second stop was... more

Wonderful hotel for a relaxing Gulf Beach getaway. Only a few steps from the hotel to the beach. It's a public beach with limited access so it is almost like a private beach at the hotel. We have stayed here two years in a row and have a manatee swim right up to us just a hundred feet or so... more

We made our reservation in May; a full two months before our July arrival. Upon arriving at 5 P.M. we were told by the front desk person "we had already checked in." When we explained we had just arrived, further investigation found they had given our room to someone else, who had even signed a guest sign in paper with... more
