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!

Great Location

This was a fun relaxing girls weekend. Lynne the host was very nice. She met us at the property and gave us a quick overview of the home and the area. The house is directly across the street from the beach entrance and a short drive to some beach restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay!

Our host was fantastic and we had a wonderful time in Florida. This property was conveniently located near the beach and the Anna Maria Island trolley stop. We had everything we needed for our stay, including beach equipment and chairs. Parking was also convenient. The listing was just as described and we loved talking with our host Lynn!! Thank you so much!

It’s a great location and Lynne is a great host!

It is a little dated but it had everything we needed. The beach is literally steps away. Lynne was there to greet us(with one of her parrots :) )She had great recommendations for where to go. Thanks Lynne!

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.

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.

Great winter get-away

We came down for a brief visit and thoroughly enjoyed it. As advertised, it is just steps from the beach: cross the road, walk through the access area (past the strip of condos that are actually on the beach) and you're there. It's a beach property -- the apartment was simple, but clean and well maintained. The owner was helpful and friendly, and gave excellent information about the local points of interest in Bradenton Beach, city of Anna Maria, and other nearby attractions. My wife and I very much appreciated the laid back feel. And the internet worked well when I had to connect back into work.

Relaxing stay

Couldn’t beat the price and more importantly the location. The beach is literally across the street. While the love seat and chair could be updated, it had everything I could need. Lynne was very responsive! I drove my full size truck down and working with Lynne we figured it would fit, albeit a tight fit. Although if you are bringing a full size vehicle I’d recommend backing into the driveway. It’s kind of hard seeing the road backing out. Definitely would stay here again and did I mention the beach was right across the street?

Review of our stay.

This property should not be a VRBO property. The outside is a mess. Plants so overgrown you can barely walk to the front door. Parking is in the rear and is very limited. You have to walk through an alley to get to the door. There were bugs under the sink, not very clean. There was only a wall air conditioning unit in the main room.. The bedrooms were not air conditioned. We would never stay there again and most likely would not use VRBO again!

Don't expect much

The location is prime and the water pressure is amazing, but that is where all expectations should end. This rental is bare bones wih old linens, dated appliances, and furniture that has seen much better days. The single parking space perfect for a subcompact, so be forewarned if you drive a fullsize truck or SUV.

First Weekend Getaway with my Grandson

Upon arrival I contacted Lynne. We met at the property quite easily and she was always accessible. Although a review of the property and instructions for the stay was fine, may I recommend a list for the guests as we could not recall a few things that she had said, as it is all a little overwhelming upon arrival. A few hours later I experienced a small issue with my grandson and may I say Lynne was a great help to me. The property is in an excellent location for beach access as well as the trolley, which was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you as we had an amazing weekend hopefully he will never forget!

Average

Def an affordable place to stay and close to the beach! The kitchen is very out dated and had hardly any pots and pans to use. The extra blankets had stains. Towels that were given were 1 per person. The parking space was very small and you are secluded because of the bushes and trees which were very pretty but needed to be cut. All of he beach furniture on our side was broke.

Out stay

We had a lot of run a round to check in and trying to find the place. It’s completely overgrown, can not see an address or the apartment at all. It’s Florida, it’s hot, when we finally got the keys to get in we found that no air at all had been turned on. It was well over 90 degrees in the apartment and took hours to cool off. It’s very very small. It is right across the street to the gulf. That was nice.

Lil slice of old Florida

Exactly as described. Easy and simple little old Florida beach cottage , affordable, steps from an un crowded, beautiful, soft cool sand , crystal clear water beach and the trolly stop. Lynne is very helpful and nice and Melosa her cute 🦜that hangs out with her , chatting up a storm added to the charm . We were first timers on Anna Maria so the only thing I would recommend if ur not renting a car is to rent a golf cart ahead of time for your first day and get all your shopping for the week done if you can . Then the Trolly or the Monkey bus is great and easy and free after that. Just tip😊parking is tough during the high seasons. Trolly great. Foldable back pack beach cooler and chair are good to get also when u want to visit different beaches. Will return 🌴🦜

Eh…..

It was nice for the weekend as we were at the beach most of the time. But our toilet and shower got clogged up and the manager did call a plumber and the plumber did come out but the problem was never fixed. We had to go elsewhere to use the restroom and we took a shower with the hose outside. When I asked the manager for money back she told me that we did have a roof over our heads to sleep. And I explain to her that we could not take a shower or use the restroom and it seem to me that she was irritated that I asked for money back. I got a small portion back but not even to cover one night. We made the best of it but I will not stay here again.

Beach Bums Go Nuts!

We (just me and my wife) were right across the street from the beach. We wanted to hit the beach, take a nap, go out to dinner, and come back to the beach for sunset. Mission accomplished. For us (and we will own it) it was perfect. The check-in process wasn't perfect but we managed just fine and Lynne was very welcoming to us. Once we knew where we were going it was just what we needed. It was clean and cool, although we needed the oscillating fan (provided) to spread the AC across the apartment. Everything worked. The sheets were clean. The beds were comfortable. We basically needed a place to sleep, because we were out on the island all day. We just loved being able to hop across the street from the beach if we forgot something or just wanted to take a quick break. The apartments are located within walking distance (or a quick drive) to all of the island hot spots. Here is the kicker. We have kids and jobs and we are watching every penny. We could not have been able to make the trip happen without the affordability. So very grateful that Lynne offered this property at a price point that allowed us to plan such a wonderful trip. There are probably other options with lots of amenities you won't use, but if you are looking for fantastic location with the basics covered, consider this budget-friendly offering.

Quaint, nearly beach-side get away.

Our family of 3 stayed here for a quick, 3 night getaway after a 4 day trip to Orlando amusement parks. The cottage is literally right across the street from the public beach access. The free trolley stops are across the street for South bound and on the corner, 1 house away, for North bound. Miss Lynne had enough beach goodies to make our stay and visit to the sands comfortable. We were provided beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, toys for our son. There is coin laundry available. It's $2 a wash and $2 a dry. Be prepared with quarters. We never started our car from the time of arrival until our departure. The area is quiet and away from the "town" streets, yet a 5 minute trolley ride South to Bridge St. or 15 minutes North to AM. Once we got the a/c and fans running, it cooled off nicely in the unit and we slept comfortably. The beds! I'm not sure what Miss Lynne has on the mattresses, but they were more comfortable than the beds we had at the upscale Orlando hotel. Should we ever get back to the island, we will most definitely check here first for availability.
