Perfect for our purposes!

This unit was perfect for what we needed--a place for extra family to stay that was convenient to where we were celebrating a 90th birthday! Easy access, close to the beach, very functional. Great communication too.

Great Location

This is a beautiful place to stay on the Island. Perfect for a small family. Very close to the beach and to the trolley. Can walk to many places to eat or shop. Bruce and Sharon were great hosts and very accommodating. Definitely would stay here again in the future!

Walking distance to food, beach, and fun!

My husband and our 2 small children stayed here for 1 week during Spring Break. Very clean & well-maintained, with nearly everything you need to cook your own meals. The weather was wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a more convenient location to food, the grocery store, and the beach!! The fact that we hardly ever had to get in our car with all of the island traffic was THE BEST! If you do venture up the island, check out "Eat Here" for dinner. We highly recommend Bruce's place and will consider coming back when we return to FL again. Many thanks!!

Extremely disappointing.

The property was described as modern. However, the inside space was dark and very "unbeachlike". Although it had new kitchen appliances, the small living room was overstuffed with heavy "frumpy" furniture. There was no dining area except a small table that sat 4 after moving it away from wall. The "second bedroom", which was entry level, had no door and no privacy. The steps to the main level and the slider to the patio were in that room. All the windows had to be propped up with sticks. The bed in the main bedroom was old and extremely uncomfortable and the sheets did not fit properly. The patio furniture was unappealing and the patio was fully shaded and covered in leaves. The upstairs balcony was very small and overlooked a busy street. If you are looking for a light, modern, sunny beach rental with outdoor space, this would not be a good choice.

Great location, but very dirty.

We have stayed on Anna Maria for many years. This particular home was in an excellent location. it was very close to shopping, several restaurants, a coffee shop and the beach. It was nice to be able to wake up and just go every morning without worrying about parking. We came during Spring Break. The home was spacious and offered everything you needed. It had a washer and dryer, chairs for the beach and ever a bbq. It however was extremely dirty. Whoever did the housekeeping in this home has been doing a very quick job for an extremely long time. Long hair in the bathroom everywhere, in the drawers, on the walls. The shower curtain has mold in some places. Floor only washed in areas that is noticable, not in corners or under furniture. Dirty mop in closet, dirty rags as well. I could keep go on but you get the picture. Pictures where sent to the owner. Not even a partial refund was offered to us. Would not recommend. Would not stay again. We could not find a new place as it was Spring Break. We bought cleaning supplies and cleaned it ourselves.

Would Rent Again

This is a great location, centrally located on Anna Maria. You can walk to Holmes Beach, Publix, and many restaurants. The apartment was well equipped with comfortable furniture , beach chairs,, king size bed, and a washer and dryer. The kitchen had everything your own kitchen has. Would definitely rent again.

Bruce responded quickly to emails, and it was a pleasure to rent from him and Sharon. The condo is well-appointed, and it was a pleasure to spend most of February there. Proximity to the beautiful Gulf beaches is a bonus. We look forward to staying again next year.

Lovely townhouse at the beach

This property was exactly what we needed. The owners made sure that the check-in process was flawless. It was a very easy walk of just over one block to a beautiful beach, and the owners graciously provided beach chairs, new umbrella (which we did not use), and small cooler backpacks that were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the little water spicket just outside the door so that we could rinse the sand off our feet without tracking it inside. The owners also sent us a list of restaurants and additional beach access with parking. We followed many of those recommendations, and they were spot-on. A supermarket and pharmacy are about two blocks away which made it convenient to obtain food, beverages, sunblock, etc. I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Sachenski

Host profile image
Both my wife and I grew up in New Jersey and live there now (when we're not in Florida). Graduated from Colorado State University. We love the beach, fishing and golf -- just some of the reasons we love Anna Maria Island.

Why they chose this property

We had been going to Anna Maria for several years and loved it so much we decided to buy there. Been to many beaches throughout the world and the beach here is by far among the best. Great fishing, great restaurants, numerous golf courses and plenty of things to do.

What makes this property unique

Quiet residential neighborhood. We love sitting on the balcony for coffee in the morning and cocktails in the afternoon. Love walking to the beach in the evening to catch the amazing sunsets.
