Overview

Compass by Margaritaville is all about easy-going island vibes — colourful, casual, and just across the bridge from Anna Maria Island. It’s great for families or couples after a no-fuss base with water views and plenty of charm.
Not quite luxury, but absolutely laid-back in the best way.

Poolside

There’s a lagoon-style outdoor pool with loungers and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing between beach trips. It’s peaceful, with just enough space for a mid-afternoon chill.
Nothing over the top — and that’s kind of the point.

Food & Drink

The on-site bar and grill serves casual American eats and fruity cocktails. You also get a decent breakfast buffet included, which keeps things simple in the mornings.
More local food options are just a short drive away.

Entertainment

The vibe is relaxed — maybe some live music on the deck or a drink at sunset. It’s not a party spot, but you’re never far from beach bars and coastal charm.
Good for slow-paced evenings.

Sports & Activities

Kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing are all nearby. There’s a small gym on-site, and bike rentals if you want to explore the waterfront trails.
Easy, breezy activity options.
