Furry friends accompany human parents at Runaway Bay

Human guests are not the only who take advantage of the warm weather and pet friendly accommodations at Dan’s Florida Condos.  Each year furry friends from all over the country and even the world from time to time make Anna Maria Island, Florida their choice for their annual snowbird season getaway.

Every dog has its day at Runaway Bay, the community where Dans Florida Condos are located. Their owners are pretty lucky as well, spending part of the winter here on wonderful Anna Maria Island.

In February 2020, Maddie (posted below)  spent five weeks at Runaway Bay with her humans, Rebecca and Jennifer, from Michigan. While there, despite some initial “smiling,” Maddie made some new friends.

With any luck, they hope to return next season with their snowbird parents!


Dans Florida Condos offer 1 and 2 bedroom units, which serve as both humans and pets premiere vacation accommodations on Anna Maria Island.  While we are glad to offer pet friendly accommodations, we follow and enforce our communities pet policy which limits each unit to one pet and has some size regulations.  When you reach out to Dan for booking, just mention your interest in bringing your furry friend, and we will ensure we can accommodate you while being compliant with our community rules.

A special thanks to Maddie’s human parents, Rebecca and Jennifer, for contributing the pictures and commentary.  Maddie is a 5-star guest and we are excited for the opportunity to reunite her with her fellow furry friends during their snowbird return in 2021.
