The Seaside Sanctuary is the ground level unit of a beachfront duplex. It is the 2nd home from the beach with no roads to cross. The front yard is literally thirty steps from one of the most pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. If you open the windows at night, you can hear the rolling surf and smell the salt air. The house is located on a quiet residential street near the north end of the island. There is no public parking in this area so you pretty much have the beach to yourself. The front deck features plenty of seating and is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Florida weather. The house is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The back yard has a shed with some beach gear, a BBQ grill, picnic table and a sun sail shade. We welcome well behaved dogs and have a fully fenced yard for your pup to play.
The house is light and bright with a multitude of windows. Everything is decorated in a fun and classy "seaside" style. We believe in a good night's sleep so we invested in high quality memory foam mattresses, crisp, clean linens and plenty of pillows. For the chef in the family, there is a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook and serve most meals. Nothing is more annoying than going to a vacation home that has only one pot and 3 plates! The house has high def smart TVs, bluetooth sound bar for streaming your favorite music and lightning fast wifi throughout. We are neat freaks so you can expect the house to be immaculately clean. In fact, we do a full deep cleaning after each guest. We tried to think of everything so you have all the comforts of home.
The Village of Anna Maria, on the north tip of Anna Maria, is the best part of the island. It is known for beautiful beaches, breathtaking sunsets and a bunch of really nice people. Not surprisingly, our number one recommendation is to set up an umbrella, plop down on a beach chair and watch the waves roll in. If being a beach bum is not your thing, you can stay busy by hunting for seashells, building a sandcastle or trying your hand at surf fishing. Either way, we provide all the equipment and recommendations to make your day at the beach relaxing and enjoyable.

We really enjoyed this location - steps away from the beach was awesome. Also walking distance from some of our favorite spots (Waterfront, Donut Experiment, North Shore, Poppo’s, Two Scoops). We will be booking this spot on our next trip to Anna Maria.
Stephanie was amazing went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable! The location is unbeatable the beach is steps away and not over crowded unlike the rest of the beach! The sunset is unlike no other I highly recommend this property and destination
Amazing location, just a short walk to miles of beautiful beaches and incredible sunsets! The shopping and dining experiences were also within walking distance. We can't wait to go back.

Great location! the rental folks were very nice. We would love to go back!
This place is just wonderful - location is outstanding, with less than a minute's walk to the beach, everything was well set up, and was simply a lovely place to stay!
Sea Side Sanctuary was an absolute Gem! We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. Stephanie, our Host, was fabulous! Always responsive to any questions. We look forward to the day we can return again.
Great place! House was clean, well supplied amenities and good communication before, during and after our stay! Enjoyed the ambiance and decor…Close to beach, enjoyed the sunsets and sunrises. Will be back with girlfriends!
This rental has everything you need. beach access is right outside, kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, the kids room has great toys and books. The bathrooms are dated but overall the rental was clean it was such and easy check in/out process
The property is cozy and fit our family of 5 well. The closeness to the beach is amazing. We saw all kinds of wildlife including being only 5 feet away from a manatee. It is close to great restaurants and shopping, we never drove far to eat out. Kitchen is great we never had to look for anything.
Comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, new appliances, clean property just steps from the beach! We will be back - probably sooner than planned!
Stephanie was quick responding to
Every expectation for our time of much needed R&R was exceeded. Our rental was clean, peaceful, within steps of the beach. Our hostess, Stephanie, was very accessible to any questions we had. We definitely plan to come back and we don’t need to research rental homes, we have our home away from home on Ana María Island. We wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else.
Our 3rd time staying at Stephanie’s seaside sanctuary! Absolutely love the location - proximity to beach, pine street shops and Rod and Reel pier restaurant.
Cozy and functional beach accommodations, with laundry and a shed full of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys and wagons. (Grandkids even made the shed their Fort!)
Anna Maria island is max relax and Stephanie is a pleasure to work with!!
Everything was as advertised. Steps onto the beach. Plenty of room. Beach supplies. Option to check out early or late was worth it. Restaurants in walking distance. Would book again! And the host was great!
The apartment is very clean, with comfortable beds and a very well stocked kitchen. There were plenty of towels, including beach towels. Proximity to the beach was as best as could be without being directly on the water. Stephanie was a perfect host and was available immediately for any questions we had.
The only complaint we have is the upstairs guests could be heard. We could hear them walking above us as well as their 2 dogs barked frequently. But that was very minor. We would definitely come back again and stay at this very adorable unit.
This beach house was exactly what we were looking for. Private, close to the beach, and well-equipped. Stephanie thought of everything, and even intervened when we were woken up by a noisy construction crew at a neighboring property! She contacted the owner right away, and no more early morning noise. She truly went above and beyond!
We were able to walk to restaurants. And also, enjoyed the full, modern kitchen with every amenity you could think of. And did I mention the mattresses? The most comfortable I have ever slept on in a vacation rental! Great place for a relaxing beach vacation :)

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Fischer
We have owned and operated vacation rentals for more than a dozen years. I love the hospitality business because I get to meet a bunch of really nice and interesting people. Sometimes I get to play a part in planning their dream vacation too! Hopefully, we can provide a place where you can make memories that will last a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home 100% because of its location. The property is located on a quiet dead end street and is only a few steps to one of the most pristine beaches in the Florida.
