Loved this awesome property!
Had a wonderful week staying at this townhouse in Holmes Beach. It was exactly as advertised- perfectly clean, great location, etc. We would definitely stay here again!
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.
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!!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
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.
This home was perfect for us. Comfortable, clean, close to the beach and Publix. Owner was very friendly and very quick to respond to questions. Great vacation!!
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.
Property couldn’t have been better. Had everything and more! Location was perfect in central part of island. Host communicated well and gave detailed instructions and suggestions about island. Highly recommend!
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.
We had a great time at this location. The property was clean and located in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed how close the house was to the beach the most! We look forward to going back again!
The property owners were very easy to communicate with and answered any questions I had. The location is perfect! You are a 3 min walk to the beach, Publix is right across the street, and there is a trolley stop right at the corner. Accommodations were great!
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.
My husband and I decided to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on Anna Maria Island and made the best decision to go with this home. This place was perfectly located to everything and you can tell the owners decorated and care for it with love...we had the time of our lives and will definitely be back!
The townhouse was exactly as it was listed. Very nice, clean, very nicely decorated, close to the beach, shops and many nice places to eat. It was the perfect place for us. We would stay again without hesitation! Special Thank you to Bruce & Sharon!
This property is wonderful, very clean, awesome location, easy quick walk to the beach and to shops. We loved our stay here. The owner was wonderful to work with and quick to respond!! We hope to be back very soon!! Would Recommend 10/10
We loved everything about this vacation rental! The owner was wonderful to work with, he got back to me very quickly whenever I had a question. The unit worked out great for us, a bedroom and bathroom on each level. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. The location was perfect! It was right across the street from CVS and the grocery store. The beach was right down the street. Strongly recommend this property!
What a wonderful location, within walking distance to everything! The condo is perfect for two couples with privacy. Enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by Bruce Sachenski
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.
