Last minute trip landed us here. I Was very Pleased. Staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in Room 203, a 2 room corner unit with a beautiful view of the beach. No carpet which is always a plus with me. 2 queen and 1 king bed. 2 TV's. A bar with 4 stools and table with two chairs. A 4 burner stove, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker made it possible for breakfast and lunch in our room. Clean & Comfortable. I Love the old style motels from the 50 & 60's.

This was a great trip for our family of four. The location is great right on the beach. The staff was amazing. There was a mother/daughter duo who worked in the office and they were so incredibly friendly and nice they put me in a good mood every time I talked with them! So accommodating as with covid rules we had to exchange our own towels etc which I appreciated. The other staff was always busy cleaning and tidying up throughout the day. Also the rooms were clean and felt very safe. The only downside I would say was spotty internet (but hey your on vacation at the beach who needs it!) for streaming Netflix/YouTube on the smart TVs. And spotty hot water for showers.
Would def come back!

Very nice manager!!
Clean
Very basic but roomy
Old mattresses , hard pillows
Outdated window coverings…falling apart.
No beach towels so bring your own.
Quiet
The staff is outstanding!
Beautiful private beach with chairs and umbrellas available .
Good view of the sunsets
Within walking distance to many restaurants. It has so much potential!
Pool wasn’t cleaned. My guess is that they are short staffed.

We had a fantastic time here starting with the very welcoming and helpful staff. Our place was oceanfront and it was great to look out at the beach when we went to bed and wake up with a great view. We had a full kitchen and if we were missing something or ran out of basic cleaning supplies the front desk was more than willing to provide replacements. There are grills on the bottom deck and a nice covered deck area. The pool is heated but because we were there during times when it rained the pool was a little cool. We took our dog and she was very welcomed. There were places she couldn't go on property.

The beach front access was a dream. We loved the expansive sand. Unfortunately, the property is poorly maintained. Hand written signs, rusty hand rails, and out-dated appliances were a definite drawback. Also, the lack of night time security resulted in loud parties keeping us up well past 1:00 am. Lastly, the cleaning staff tends to only clean the exposed surfaces in the room. The insides of drawers and cabinets and under the beds looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. This was the case in both of the rooms we booked. That said, it was well priced for ocean front in the area and the office staff was sweet.

We recently stayed here with our 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. We had a blast! Yes it is the cleanest place we have been to. From the property manager to the lady who cleans the outside these people are constantly cleaning. I have never seen people work so hard. They obviously take great pride in what they do. We were leary to travel with the pandemic but are so glad we did. Thank you Marty and all your great employees for taking care of us. Every need we had was met with a friendly face. Great to be on the beach!!

Great value, family run business and best value on Anna Maria. Beach front property
Great location on trolley stop , safe fenced pool area and covered picnic area on beach.

I have referred many people with no negative responses

No frill property but best value on Island for a budget conscious family.

Actually visited Feb 2020. Last minute trip and our usual motel was booked. Easy beach access. Stayed here in a large two room unit.
Heated Pool was located in center of complex which helped block the wind. Clean & comfortable. Lots of beach chairs available. We would definitely stay here again.

I cannot speak highly enough of the sweet little Dream Inn! We have stayed there several times and it has always been great. If you’re looking for fancy, it is not for you. If you’re looking for a laid back vibe, directly on the beach and clean simple accommodations-Dream Inn is for you. Highly recommend ocean view rooms-sunsets are epic! Step right out onto the beach-beach chairs, umbrellas, grills, toys and games are included. Marty in the office is the absolute best! Prices are fair, esp. compared to neighboring properties which are easily triple the price . We cant wait to return😊

Must admit the beach is great. Very enjoyable time.

Disappointments
No hot water in tub/shower. Had it in kitchen

Toilet tank would not fill on its own. Had to manually adjust water soure every time.

Informed management. She aaid that was unacceptable. They checked on both. Never repaired during our 3 night stay.

Furnishings dated. No smoke detectors in rooms.

Outside people/non guests used pool and grill area. It appeared they had friends or relatives staying. The pool wrist band policy not enforced. They also used the grill area

People smoked marijuana openly on upper sun deck

No security on site No management after 730 pm.

We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay. The manager did check on your water situation and turned up the heaters for you the first day it was brought to her attention. Nothing was ever said again so she believed it was handled. There ARE 100% smoke detectors in every apartment and in every bedroom. The fire inspector sees to that every year. There is a copy of our inspection report in the front office anytime you wish to see it, just ask. Florida IS a Smoke state and people have the right to smoke thier medical marijuana. The company does try to keep them contained to one area of the resort, but again, if the manager isnt told, she can not fix it! When you rent at The Dream Inn and her sister properties, you are renting an individually owned condo. You are told that when you check in. No, there is no security on property and the hospitality office does close at 6PM. There is a wonderful local police department, who do drive by and even stop and walk on to the properties at times, however, just like renting your home, a cabin in the woods or a condo on the beach, you would call the police if there was an issue... OR wait until your hospitality opens again in the morning at 9:30AM and tell the manager. Please be sure to look closely into where you are staying when you book on line. It seems you were very disappointed and not quite sure you had what you had. We would love the chance to make you smile again on your next vacation... Feel free to give us a call anytime! Your review IS appriciated!

You can stay as long or short as you would like, we stayed for 3 weeks but others stayed for one or two nights. Just be aware there is a $50 resort fee for your stay no matter how long it is (1day=$50 or 21days=$50)!

They could decide to place you at one of their other properties without notification and that would change where your convenient stores are located.

No, do not have balconies but can open sliding doors and pull up a chair and it is beautiful. The pretty white sand is always beautiful and of course the water is very nice. No red tide..nice and peaceful and great places to eat on the Island. Have a good time. Joan
