Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
The cutest little motel I’ve ever stayed at! The property was clean and very well kept. Salt water pool and beautiful lounging area. Very close to the airport,but not so much you could hear it all day. The bar was awesome with live music on the weekends. Well appointed rooms with brand new fridge ...

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound
So glad I found this place-convenient to the beaches and great buffet for breakfast. Dining area is part of the bar so on the weekends it can get pretty loud.
