Christmas @ Holiday Cove
0 % of users found this review helpful
My wife, my self and 2 dogs enjoyed a weeks vacation in the resort over the week of Christmas 2010. The site is well situated, having excellent restaurants both within walking distance or a short drive. Generally the whole area is an excellent vacation spot. We were camped on the north canal, beautiful, I like taking photographs and captured some excellent wild life images. My dogs enjoyed the walks around the park, the dog areas had boat trailers parked on them, so they were not as "useful" as they could be. The swimming pool and it's area is excellent, clean, water kept reasonably warm, enjoyed using that facility most afternoons. The facilities for showering etc were clean and well maintained. We had a very pleasant week, and would probably return this winter for another weeks vacation.

This is not a kid friendly park. Would not even let the children throw a nerf football in the street. Had the lot for a month, wanted our daughter and her children to stay a week, not with us, instead of us (we were working) and had to pay extra for them, said we were "sub-leasing". Positive note, it is clean, boat ramp, convenient, but not going back this summer. We would possibly return but only for weekends, not extended stays trying to entertain grandchildren.

Anna Maria Island is one of the most beautiful island in Florida. Holiday Cove RV Resort across the bridge about 3/4 mile. We have visited Holiday Cove every year beginning since 2001. The first year we stayed for 3 weeks in March. We had such a great time, we decided that we would return the following winter. Each year we increased our stay and now we are there for 3 months; January, February & March. Every year it gets better. Three years ago a complete "overhaul" of the park was completed. It has become one of the best in the country! The park is full of exciting things to do every winter. Six couples have purchased inflatable boats with engines. We call our group "Holiday Cove Yacht Club". We take trips out into the Intercoastal waterway, stopping along the way for lunch. Sometimes we pack a lunch & sit on Beer Can island. We walk the shore looking for shells or just sit and enjoy the view. We also take trips to one of several water front restaurants. The area is full of great places to eat, shopping is close and anything else is very convenient!

I spent a week at Holiday Cove in September 2009 with two friends from Europe, and I can say without hesitation I haven't been to a nicer RV park before or since then. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we extended our initial reservation from three nights to the whole week and skipped the rest of our road trip. From the helpful greeter Paul to the gorgeous pad on the water, the pool and the clubhouse (perfect for catching football games on Saturday!), Holiday Cove does everything right. It's convenient to Bradenton and directly across the street from a great little ice cream shop and the Cortez Kitchen, which is legendary in those parts for good reason (try the grouper sandwich). I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Holiday Cove again, and I'm fairly certain that I'll be making another reservation soon. If you're clicking around looking for a good place to stay in SW Florida, just stop now and find the "Make a Reservation" button. You've found your RV park!
