Guest Reviews
- Glenda S (10/5): - Safety for children with gates to play
- Joe (4/5): - There is no staff on site. Every thing is done by phone. More like a airbud house. If you need a towel or more TP you call and number. God knows how you will get it. Pool was clean but needs repair. We stayed there 4 year ago was great staff great too. Now no staff and place has gone down hill. Will not be going back.
- Angela (2/5): - Booked at Club bamboo south #118 Friday -Monday. I lived in the area previously. The refrigerator was warm, my husband being a diabetic & needing to refrigerate insulin. Our food was spoiled overnight. My husband vomited all day Saturday due to spoiled food. So a whole day lost having to move to #118. I requested a late check out since we lost the day due to a BROKEN REFRIGERATOR, I was offered to check out at 11am for $50 charge. We left today Monday at 8:00am, we took out our own trash & placed used towels in tub. The parking lot is full of trash debris & cigarette butts, BROKEN curbs.
- William (6/5): - Room was good for the price. There was no staff onsite during our stay, and there were no umbrellas towels for the beach.
- Ainec (10/5): - What i liked the most about this hotel, is that is right in front of the beach. No walking, or crossing streets to go to the beach, just go down the stairs and you are there.
- Timothy (8/5): - Room was clean. Had trouble checking in. Remote on tv wasn't working at first. Good ocean view
- Susan (8/5): Location. Location. Location. - Absolutely loved the place. Intimate, so close to the beach, which is what I love. The rooms were nice, air conditioners worked great. Only complaint, no broom for tile floors at the beach. A lot of sand was tracked in due to beach gear being brought in. Everyone one there was so nice. Just don't expect 4 star hotel amenities. It is an old Florida hotel, no ice machine, no food. But the location is amazing. We loved it.
- Vance (8/5): - Loved location, parking, closeness to the beach, breeze way, and elevator. Rooms are adequate but need updating; no instructions on cable, facility rules, or garbage. No staff on site to ask questions. Had no cable and AC never really cooled down the room.
- Gerald (10/5): - Great price for beach front property. Clean rooms, easy check-in. We live local, will stay at property again.
- Yoko (4/5): The Dream Island Inn - Not Exactly a Dream - The person at the front desk was friendly but they are not staffed full time. I was under the impression that we were staying at the Anna Maria Dream Island Inn, but they had us stay at Club Bamboo which was also part of the property. Overall, the size of the room was fine. The room had a Mr. Coffee pot style coffee maker but no coffee to make it with. The box spring cover looked like it had mildew on it and one of our pillowcases had a blood stain on it (see pictures below). On the website, it mentioned there were umbrellas and chairs available for the beach but all the umbrellas were broken we were told. If staying here, you will want to bring your own beach towels since the ones they provided were almost unusable for the beach. The pool area appeared to be clean, but there is no bathroom unless you go up to your room. It was not terribly bad, but I will not be staying here again.
- James (10/5): - Property is in a great location. It is clean and has a great view of the gulf!
- Ralph (4/5): Disappointed at this price - We are disappointed in this property given the price that we paid. It appears to be a 1950s property that has not been upgraded. The front staff was very helpful, but there was really limited service and we had to go to get our own towels, and the room was never cleaned by the maids. Beach access was easy and they did provide chairs. $400 was overpriced, I would expect $150-175 for this property. Hotels.com reservation service was smooth.
- Philip (8/5): - It's what I expected. No problems. clean.
- Iris (10/5): - This hotel is like our home. Always nice customer service like family đâ¤ď¸
- JEANA (8/5): - It was a beautiful view, clean room, No frills. Property does need some up keep, pool did not look clean at all. Beach chair area not kept up, sandburs everywhere where people walk through to beach. Our drains did not work well in toilet or bathroom sink. Otherwise Great location, convenient. We were put in Club Bamboo, sister property a few doors down which did work well for us. I thought is was a nicer property. I would stay again.
- Anthony (10/5): 10 Year Anniversary - Receptionist was the nicest person I have ever meet. We were treated exceptional.
- Yanelis (10/5): - I love how close the beach was and the water was super clean and nice in the pool.
- Laura (10/5): - Itâs a great place to stay absolutely beautiful
- Diana (2/5): - Terrible place to stay and terrible employees. They charged us 800 extra for having the kids (total of 4 ) for a king bed with couch, saying that was a 2 person room. Amenities are terrible, pool is dirty. The receptionist tricked us into paying almost double the amount we paid to expedia. Do not book this place!
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Wonderful staff and great ocean view!
- Rebecca (10/5): - Place is nice for beach front
- Peggy (10/5): - Had a wonderful stay, Marty was so helpful with great places to eat and see
- Patricia A (10/5): - We had an amazing time at the Dream Inn. Marty was so helpful in our check in and during our stay. Can't wait to come back!
- Nick (4/5): - Our Air conditioning didnât work so no one slept well. Instead of fixing it they gave us fans. The room was wrong so our kids had to sleep on cots instead of real beds. There werenât enough chairs or table space for everyone to sit down. Some of the lights didnât work. The pool wasnât heated, so we had to walk three properties over for a heated pool.
- Madeline (6/5): - I like the staff. They were very customer service oriented and attended to our needs. However, the property is understaffed. This property needs a lot of updating and the word resort should be removed from advertising. This is not a resort. There is no food or beverage or ice on the property. The lounge chairs are so old that when you lay in them, your body sinks through the straps. Umbrellas are broken. Beds are horrible. Utensils and pots and pans are sticky and dirty. Our room had a hole in the wall and a broken window, which is a security problem.we couldnât lift the faucet handle in the master bathroom, as it was stuck. The only things that The Dream Inn has going for it is that it is on the beach with spectacular sunsets and itâs amazing staff. I felt bad for the staff. They were running around accommodating everyone with smiles on their faces. They are overworked and need help. The investors could really make this place a spectacular resort if they would sink some money into it. I will not be returning to the Dream Inn, as I would rather stay at a real resort that is clean, has food and beverage, has working faucets, doesnât have holes in the wall and that definitely has comfortable beds. Additionally, I also prefer a 24 staff. No staff at property after 6pm. The stay was definitely not worth what I paid. I love Marty and her daughter though.
- Claudia (10/5): - Location is great. The views are gorgeous. Right on the beach. Larger rooms- 2 queen and separate master bedroom was perfect along with a kitchen. Itâs not fancy, but is clean and friendly. Marty and staff are great!
- mike (2/5): - The air conditioning did not work when we arrived it took till the next morning to be able to talk with any one. Then going back to keep checking up on the status of the repairs because the manager kept telling different lies. Then the shower handle broke and only cold water would come out and could not turn it off. I told the management as was informed the repair guy comes in at 10 am. At 1 pm i asked about an update as no one came to the room still and was told that they will be getting it fixed right away. At 6pm no one still came to the room and they tried to leave with out ever contacting me with any Updates. They told me i could still take a cold shower whats the big deal after i said this is terrible service.
- Michael (8/5): Great getaway - The staff was super friendly and helpful with our needs and did everything to make our stay comfortable. The room had a great view and was clean and comfortable. The beach access was excellent. Good place for the price!
- Renee (10/5): Lovey place to stay and close to beach! - Great customer service from both ladies. Too bad I was not on vacation but had to get a place to stay for my dad due to hurricane knocking out power.
- Johnny (10/5): Just book it. - Everything was as advertised. Rooms are a little dated but very clean and functional. It's right on the beach, and was perfect for our weekend getaway. Marty and staff are awesome. It's a great value and we would definitely book it again.
- Itzel (10/5): Perfect spot - Amazing staff and great atmosphere. Manager was so friendly and helpful I felt secure and right at home. The pool was perfect and I will definitely be back again for that view.
- Diana (10/5): - excellent beach
- anamaris (6/5): - Needs updating. We never got our room cleaned. You dont have any help after 6:00 pm. Bathroom was dirty.
- Danielly (8/5): - Good thing about the property is that it was in the water
- Rebecca (10/5): - Very nice staff
- ariel r (10/5): - Ok
- Maria (10/5): - The friendly staff, the fact that is a small building and just on the beach make it a great place wher to stay.
- Timothy (8/5): Anna Marie Island - Older hotel, but very clean. Very well maintained. Great staff that was friendly and serviced you quickly. Clean rooms and bath. Refrigerator did not get drinks cold, but otherwise great visit. Beautiful beach behind hotel. So relaxing
- Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient beach-front location w/ no-frills room - The view and location are amazing. Marty was very warm and helpful during our weekend stay. The room description said 2 queens and a king when we rented, but there was only a king and two full beds. Pool could have been cleaner, but pleasantly warmed during a windy weekend. As other reviews have mentioned +/- cleanliness - our apartment was pretty clean except for sand on the floors which gets tracked from being so close to the beach. Daily cleaning service not included in price, need to take out own trash.
- Craig (10/5): - We stayed in the villas across the street. Clean with a small kitchenette, a walk across the street to the beach and exactly what we wanted on our family vacation. Mardy and her daughter, who run the property, are fantastic!!!!
- Carmen (6/5): - Donât believe the picture of the beach. No beach furniture or umbrellas. Furniture provided has past its life expectancy by 5 years. Property is on a nice beach. What is being marketed is not what is delivered. No balcony just a sliding door with a railing. Bedding was ok, kitchenette was ok, nice refrigerator. No room service, you go get you clean towels and linens everyday, you take you trash to the dumpster. Very outdated facility. The bathroom was filthy, shower curtain was filthy with a horrible odor, toilet was filthy. We were going to leave but it was late the office was closed so we bought our own cleaning supplies and cleaned the bathroom. Office closes at 6pm and you are on your own. Very noisy at night, banging doors late at night. Not recommending the Dream Inn. Very unfortunate because the small staff running the place was greatâŚjust not enough of them. Beach was awesome!
- Amy (8/5): - Overall our stay was very good. Marty and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean and beachfront. The only downside to our stay was the Wi-Fi which was slow.
- Angela (8/5): Last minute hotel - Mixed feelings about this place⌠the fact itâs on the beach is great! They have beach chairs available to use which was a plusâŚladies that work there awesome! Itâs just a little run down and could use a perk up⌠definitely bring your own everything! Like beach towels, blankets, and food, drinks⌠would I stay here again? Iâd most likely try someplace new
- Judith (8/5): Not for the picky traveler - The location is great and the room had plenty of space. They are clearly short on housekeeping staff. While surfaces seemed clean, there were spray bottle tops on the floor and in a drawer. Also, I found a paper clip on my bed.
- ANGELINA (2/5): - Was told at check-in that the only keys inexistence for my room was the ones I was holding and if I lost them that I would have to pay for a locksmith. Check-in was from 3-6p. Was told that they have until 6p to have the room ready. The room was ready at 4:30p. I had been waiting since 3p, because I had expected to be able to check in at 3p because that has been my experience everywhere else. Room was subpar. The towels and soap were crap and we found rust and mold in the bathroom.
- Sheryl (10/5): - Set back off the beautiful beach, this property was perfect for our vacation. We enjoyed the big sun deck right off our room, the pool area or the beach. Nice kitchen facility to make your own meals, how and when you want them. Free Trolly pickup right by the property to get you around the island.
- Duane (8/5): - It is a decent spot. No qualms. Reasonable and pleasant for sure. Nothing extravagant. We love Anna Maria for the classic Florida laid back, far away vibe. This place fits that well. It's fine for a restful few days. Right on the beach, with a clean pool as well. Note, however, the WiFi is not good, so if you plan on a "work-cation" type stay, you'll be living at the local Duncan. Sharky's across the street is very good for dining. Other food spots are about a mile walk in either direction, but it's a nice walk. :-)
- Robert (8/5): Good people - Wonderful people and good location . Beautiful beach .
- Ron (6/5): - The Dream Inn was right on the beach. Great beach location
- Joni (10/5): - Location was awesome. VERY friendly staff!!
- gene (10/5): - Right next to the beach! Nice clean heated pool. Very nice front desk lady. Good rooms. Only small complaint is our bed mattresses were below average for quality and comfort.
- Dave (10/5): - :)
- Betty F (8/5): - It was right on the beach! Beautiful white sand! Gorgeous views. Beach volleyball. Corn hole and lots of other games, etc. Nice pool. Elevator was a plus. I recommend they do a little updating in some areas. Overall a great place to stay. Marti and Dawn were excellent hosts! Great value for high season. Close to some excellent restaurants. Trolley and bus available. No need to rent a car.
- RONALD (10/5): - Great beach. Nice friendly staff.
- Darlene (8/5): - I enjoyed the property; however, the fan was too noisy to use at night. It was much too loud.
- Chris (8/5): - Older property. Only some of the units have been renovated. Luckily ours had been, but visiting neighbors did not speak highly of their rooms. Amazing location on the beach, though (which is why you would stay here)
- Maria (8/5): Great stay! - The office staff were extremely helpful and super friendly and accommodating. There is a circle K next door for coffee/drinks/basics. Trolley stop is right out front. Beds werenât the most comfortable. Place was clean with stove/ full size fridge in place. Great beach area out front
- Darci (2/5): - Accidentally booked this hotel and Expedia would not honor the resorts request to refund me .
- mary (10/5): - Staff was very helpful and very cheery. Very clean accommodations.
- Darnall (10/5): - All good!!
- Robert (2/5): Stay anywhere else! - This was by far the dirtiest room we have ever stayed inâŚin our entire life, which is a lot to say, since pre-Covid, we traveled for business about 100 days a year. Filthy wouldnât even begin to describe this space-hair in the bathroom, cupboards and doors that needed wiping, floors that hadnât been swept or mopped-in a very long time, blood on the pillow cases, stained sheets, and outside furniture and grounds we akin to a horror movie. The front door, painted a pretty blue-was in need of cleaning for years. To top it all off the âbathâ towels are worn thin and small and the bedspread is the circa 70âs polyester version-but in all honesty, by the time you are ready for bed, you wouldnât even think of using it. Positives here weâre the front desk lady who was an absolute gem, a beautiful view and a decent patio to sit out on. This place was a $100 rental masquerading as $350 which is what we paid, with an additional $75 cleaning fee that is obviously pocketed by someone.
- John (8/5): - Nice staff, Martie
- Jeff (10/5): - The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Room was large and clean, walk out the back to nice beach.
- jeffrey (10/5): - Love this place, my go-to spot on Anna Maria Island. Easy Access to everything.
- Joy (2/5): - Hi, we paid a little more for a suite that faced the gulf with a balcony. It was very disappointing to arrive and find that the balcony that I saw in pictures - with a table and chairs before booking - was a railing. A railing. Also, there wasnât sitting area like described inside the suite and no doors on bedrooms. There was rust on the bedside table lamp, fridge and some sort of mold all over the microwave. It was gross.
- Yvonne (10/5): Fabulous Stay - We had a wonderful stay at the Dream Inn. Marty was a doll. So helpful. Turns out she grew up On the same street we live. Small world. Dream Inn is a great location. Close to everything. Use the monkey bus to get around the island. Itâs awesome!
- Michael (10/5): - Last minute booking before continuing on to Miami. We regretted not spending more time here. Owners awesome people very welcoming and accommodating.
- Angela (10/5): - Our room was wonderful!! A private balcony room on the top floor overlooking the ocean. The office ladies are so friedly, helpful and accommodating. They really did everything they could to make our stay special. The property is a little older but everything was clean and the room was bright, spacious and had a cute beachy decor. There are nicer, fancier places to stay but would cost double or more likely triple the price. I'll take a more homey and affordable room any day. I'm not sure why so many people had complaints about this property. When I booked, it was very clear that the office manages several buildings in the area. It's all listed in the room descriptions so I'm guessing the folks that had to walk across the street to the beach didn't read thoroughly. It's also clearly stated that it's not a hotel and their hours are limited. And what's the big deal about taking out your own trash? As a responsible adult, I think checking in on time, remembering not to lock myself out of the room and taking out my own trash is not an issue.

- Ana (10/5): - Best family vacation by far! The staff was very considerate, easy to communicate with, and they just made our whole experience so much easier and fun. There were a lot of activities for the kids and the beach was great. My family will be having our annual vacations there from now on. Thank you Marty and staff! <3
- George Robert (8/5): - The unit needed a little bit of TLC. Missing blind that kept us from completely closing it up at night. Loose sink drainer. But overall nothing major. It is beautifully decorated and a great layout. Thanks to Marty and the staff for accommodating all our needs.
- Raymond (10/5): - Great staff here! Very helpful and communication is straight forward. The Inn itself is a bit dated but the room was immaculate. There is a outdoor area under the Inn (the building foundation itself like many others on the island is elevated) with lounge chairs bbq grills and byob/diy bar area. The beach itself is gorgeous. White sand and blue green ocean. Volleyball net is set up for use too. I would recommend to family and friends.
- Amy (10/5): Great place! Will be returning again! - Great customer service! Beautiful spot! Marty was incredible!
- fernando (10/5): - The attendant at the front desk was helpful, friendly and polite and that in my book makes the difference.
- Cheryl (10/5): - This is an awesome place to stay! We will definitely be back, with our grandkids next time. Very clean and beautiful place to stay - I would recommend Dream Inn to anyone that wants to stay right on the beach and have it all near by - even the pool was great!
- Bartolo (8/5): - Has private beach inches away, restaurants near by, many things to do and explore, various beaches near by that are all gorgeous and well taken care of, a small piece of paradise right in the back yard.

- Donna (10/5): Fun & Very Nice Stay - It was great! The only improvement needed was the location of the AC near my head while I was trying to sleep in my bed. Otherwise, all else was great!

- Glenda (8/5): Amazing - Amazing beach front and nice pool
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and great customer service
- Verified traveler (8/5): - On the beach is wonderful. No umbrellas so very hot
- Scott (4/5): It's ok, but not worth what they charge - I was so excited to spend a family mini vacation with my son and his family. The pictures they post are misleading. They own 3 different properties, but you dont know that from the photos. I thought I was gonna get a balcony view. I got the view, but no balcony. Then I come to find out it is on another property of theirs. The 2 queens were more like 2 doubles, very tight for the kids and the grandkids. And the last pet pieve is the fact, that for the amount of money I spent, there was patio furniture in the room??? Really??? Those things are not comfy. I think the price should reflect what we recieved...didnt. We left a day early because it was uncomfortable, lucky I live in Florida, or else I would have really been upset. And even tho we left a early, I didn't recieve some refund? I don't expect all of the money, but some for the misleading pictures on line would have been nice. I will never go back, it's a nice place for maybe $250 a night, but definetly not $430. Sorry, but I was really disappointed and had to cut my beach time short.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had such a great time here! The studio was nice and clean and the view was amazing! Only downside was the garbage areas could have been emptied out so it was piled up a lot, but other than that everything was great! The staff was extremely nice and a joy to interact with! Definitely will be going back!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Property needs an overhaul, some rooms need better beds. More cleaning staff. My room was okay, my friends room lacked cleaning. Definitely understaff. Limited staff was friendly and accommodating. Property definitely needs an upkeep!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - IT WAS GREAT HAVING THE BEACH RIGHT IN THERE. FOR 2 NIGHTS THE MOLE IN THE ROOM I GUESS WAS WORTH IT.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Can't beat the location - Definitely for beach parties and that's about it--but can't beat the location and there is a ton of space. The girls at the front desk were really awesome and you know they work their butts off. Did wish it was nicer for the price we spent. Live and learn. P.S. THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL PARKING, so don't freak out. It's by the beach access to the left of the building, past the house next door.
