From Our Family to Your Family: Welcome

Many resorts claim to treat their guests like family, but it takes an actual family business to make visitors feel truly welcomed. Founded in 1972 by Barbara Rodocker, Silver Resorts is the epitome of a successful family business and is currently owned by Barbara’s daughter, Angela Rodocker. Owning two different properties, BridgeWalk and Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort, the inviting atmosphere and attention to detail at Silver Resorts is what you would expect from staying with family, but combined with the luxury amenities and first-class service of an award-winning resort.

What makes Silver Resorts different from other Anna Maria Island accommodations? “As large businesses buy up more properties on Anna Maria Island, it’s important that Silver Resorts maintains that personal relationship with our guests and makes them feel like family,” said owner Angela Rodocker. “We’re always receiving incredible feedback from guests about how the staff at both resorts welcomed them and treated them like they were family. That’s because we’re not in the hotel business, we’re in the business of helping guests create memories.”

Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort

Owned and operated since 1985, and renovated in 2014, Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort helped set the exceptionally high standard to which all Silver Resorts guest experiences would be judged. Featuring an outdoor heated pool, outdoor grilling area, 50 charming units, and on-site companies offering everything from boat rentals to relaxing massages, you won’t even have to leave the resort to experience the relaxing outdoor atmosphere of the island.

The crown jewel of the Silver Surf Gulf Beach Resort is its private beach located directly across the street from the resort. Lounge on the gorgeous white sand and enjoy the serene tranquility of a private beach reserved only for the guests staying at the resort. For the ultimate relaxing experience, book a session with the on-site SeaRenity Spa for a tiki massage on the beach. However, if you’re seeking a little more excitement, Coastal Watersports is the on-site rental company offering jet skis, catamarans, and paddleboards.

BridgeWalk

Located in the heart of Bradenton Beach, BridgeWalk on Anna Maria Island puts you within easy walking distance to some of the island’s best dining, shopping, live music, and outdoor experiences. There’s always something happening nearby, and thanks to its great location, guests can park their car at BridgeWalk and not start it again until it’s time to leave.

It’s beautiful Key West style architecture is reminiscent of old Florida. Built in 2001, the majority of BridgeWalk’s 800-square-foot rooms feature Jacuzzi tubs, granite countertops, and large screened verandahs. Enjoy a cocktail at the Island Time Bar & Grille, and even book an exciting adventure on the water without leaving the resort. The area’s island beaches are unlike anywhere else in the world, and BridgeWalk makes an unforgettable day at the beach only a few steps away.
