This gentleman did not smile once from the time he arrived. They were told repeatedly they could have fresh linens any day, just put them out, they didn't. The satellite company had to send a tech with a new receiver, it took two days, and they got a DVR in the bargain.When the TV had problems, he told me he would get a lawyer and shut me done. Not someone I would have again, although his wife did seem nice. Lynne Budzinski Almost Beach Apartments

They were a nice couple,and I hope to see them again. Parking is limited pretty much everywhere on the island, but I do offer an alternative,it just isn't right next to the door. And there is no central air, but most guests do well with what is there. However, everybody here misses the shade we lost in the storms last year and can't wait for it to grow back.

This family was a pleasure to host. I only got to visit with the son while they were here, but I found him to be one of the most well-mannered, polite and interesting young men that I have ever met, and I sincerely hope they make it back for another visit, because I would love to have a chance to visit more. I am glad they enjoyed their stay. Lynne Budzinski Almost Beach Apartments Anna Maria Island

Great stay

Our stay at Almost Beach Apartments, was amazing! From booking, check in and check out. Lynne met us to get us checked in. The apartment was just what we were looking for. The beach is feet from the front door! We had our own driveway, patio and front porch. Lynne was a wealth of knowledge about the island! The apartment, was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. I enjoyed seeing Lynne out during our stay, talking to her was nice! We will definitely be back for our girls trip next year!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
Again, I am always happy when people are able to enjoy their time while they are here. How to put this... . my units are not condos, they are small, clean, ground-floor ( a disappearing breed) "old Florida" apartments. I actually used to have floral couches with matching easy chairs, and got rid of them. No hide-a -beds, no recliners, just comfortable, clean furniture and what you would need to enjoy a stay at the beach. I am not a resort, and I don't expect people to come just to enjoy my place, although I have a lot of every year repeat guests. I just want people to be comfortable here while they are doing all the things that this area offers, kayaking under the mangroves, riding horses in the surf, parasailing, snorkeling, fishing of every description, and of course the beach just across the street. For those, unfortunate, times when mother nature rains on the parade for a day or two, I try to make sure there are some games and reading material for anyone too sweet to venture out in the wet, but, by and large, I feel I am doing my best for my guests, when they are rested and happy and able to get out there and enjoy themselves. Glad another guest met that goal.

Clean, attractive, convenient and great location

I've stayed at Almost Beach Apartments quite a few times over the years and plan on many more trips. It's clean, attractive, has everything you could possibly need and at a very reasonable price. It's a short walk to the beach and also located on the trolley line so getting anywhere is easy with or without a car. The owner is on premises and available for any questions and has taken a lot of care to make every stay there special.

very close to the beach, affordable and clean!

Older but very clean and affordable 2 bedroom apartment right across the street from the beach. Lynne was welcoming us and very friendly and informative! The apartment had everything we needed. We had bad luck with the "red tide" but had a great stay after all and hope to be back once red tide will be gone.

These were nice folks, and I felt badly that the red tide started moving into our area just as they got here. They seemed to make an effort to enjoy themselves anyway, and I, sincerely, hope they did. They would be welcome back anytime. Lynne Budzinski Almost Beach Apartments Anna Maria Island

Classic Beach Pad

The location was great...right across from a beautiful beach and close to places we liked to go. I use to live there in the area. It's not fancy, but adequate, depending on your desires for a beach vaca. It was like revisiting time actually! Glad I got to know the owner! Thank you Lynn!

Convenient Location

Other than a kind of odd check-in, our stay was excellent. Only steps to the uncrowded beach, 1.5 miles from Fishing Charter marina pick-up. Facilities had all you could need and we had a great week. A comfortable walk to the Ana Maria Island Pier and lots of restaurants & entertainment. Would recommend.

These were very nice people who were kind enough to ignore my being over-whelmed Christmas Eve getting them checked in. ( that would be their comment about the "odd check-in") It had been a very hectic day, with just too much to do, and too little time. They were polite guests, who seemed to want to explore the island, and have a good time. I am glad to know they did that, and I would be pleased to have them back again, anytime they feel the desire to come. Lynne Budzinski Almost Beach Apartments Anna Maria Island

Quaint stay in an unbeatable location!

We had such a memorable experience here. The place is quaint and full of character, and you truly can’t beat the location—it feels like you’re tucked into your own little pocket of nature, surrounded by wildlife. We saw all kinds of birds and creatures during our stay, which made it feel even more special.Given the lush vegetation, it’s important to be mindful about keeping doors shut so nothing sneaks in—but that’s part of the charm of staying close to nature! For the price, it was absolutely amazing.Lynne, the owner who lives on-site, is a gem. She was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we loved learning about her work rescuing special needs birds. You can tell she genuinely cares about the space and the people who visit.If you’re looking for a peaceful place to sleep while you explore the area, this is it. After all, you’re not supposed to spend your whole vacation in your room anyway! We’d definitely stay here again.
