About Lauren Chalenski

At Sunrise Cottage, we're serious about your relaxation. We keep things simple so you can dream about your beach vacation, not complicated paperwork. You'll receive complete information about Sunrise so you'll know what to expect when you arrive. We answer all questions promptly and treat you the way we would want to be treated. We extend a special welcome to our wonderful overseas guests - we promise to do everything we can to make you happy when you come so far to visit our beautiful island. Our goal is for all our guests is to remember Sunrise Cottage as their home away from home on Anna Maria Island.

Lauren Chalenski purchased this house in 2009
Why Lauren Chalenski chose Anna Maria

We purchased Sunrise Cottage because of the feeling you get driving across the island/mainland bridge. It’s the beginning of the rainbow. Sunrise cottage is the pot of gold awaiting you.

What makes this house unique

Staying in a cottage provides privacy while offering guests an opportunity to be part of a small community of friendly people who truly value their quality of life on the island. From the cottage guests can walk across the street to the beach to catch a spectacular sunset or walk one block in the other direction to peruse the many shops or enjoy the restaurants. Two guests once left in the morning to walk to breakfast and didn’t return until late afternoon because they strolled from shop to shop, enjoying wares and conversation with shop owners. It's nice to attain at least a temporary respite from fast food joints, high rises, and traffic - at Sunrise Cottage it doesn't take long to convert to 'island time'.

Reunion

5 of 5
Submitted: September 7, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
I rented the cottage for a reunion weekend with some old friends and it was the perfect place and really made the trip. The interior was clean, beautifully done and welcoming. The pool was the perfect spot for every one to chill out after the beach or a day in the sun and on the boat. We really enjoyed it and can't speak highly enough. We'll be back in the future for sure.

We can't express how great my trip was to Sunrise Cottage this summer in early August 2012! From the moment my husband and I stepped on the property and home we were in love with the atmosphere, calmness, and relaxation we both experienced during our stay. I had been to the island before but was so impressed with Sunrise cottage! We got to meet the owner and was so happy with how helpful she was in suggesting places to eat and things to do while we stayed at the cottage! We actually got married on the island and got to spend a wonderful time at the cottage and on the island! The weather was beautiful and the private pool was awesome and warm! Can't say enough of how great this place was! We want to go back already and probably will soon!

We rented the Sunrise Cottage for a family vacation that turned into a girls getaway, three generations. We had a lovely time, the location of the cottage is wonderful and convenient to everything. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at home, Lauren went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. The home is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, we even loved the plates and coffee mugs. From the linens to the gorgeous ceiling fans this home is a place that anyone would fall in love with and enjoy staying for any length of time.

We plan on coming back again and I will definitely be telling all of my friends and family about the Sunrise Cottage!! Our vacation photos have been a big hit :-)

Family Fun at Sunrise Cottage

5 of 5
Submitted: July 13, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our family had a wonderful vacation at Sunrise Cottage on Anna Maria Island the week of 6/30-7/8. Anna Maria is a great family vacation destination, and the cottage is well suited as a home base to discover everything the area has to offer. The owner Lauren is great - she met us at the house, showed us around, and was a pleasure to work with through the entire rental process. The cottage is light, bright, airy, modern, and well appointed. The kitchen especially is well stocked. The pool is a gem...perfect for kids and adults alike, with lush landscaping and a table with umbrella at the shallower end. The kids loved having drinks and snacks at the table, and watching geckos run up the palm trees. We fished off some of the local island piers and left the fishing rods at the cottage; we hope other folks that rent the cottage can use them. It would have been nice to have a cooler as well; hoping someone else will add that to the cottage amenities. We loved Coquina Beach the best, and brought home many beautiful shells and sand dollars. We had the good fortune to swim with a manatee while at Coquina Beach as well. The Rod & Reel Pier has the best fish on the island for eating out, while fishing and dolphin spotting off their pier is great fun for the kids. We also loved the BBQ at Mr. Bones, and the Sandbar was great for beachside dining and cocktails. We loved every minute of our Anna Maria Sunrise Cottage vacation, and hopefully we will be back some day.

We stayed at Periwinkle Cottage for a week last spring and we are still reliving the fabulous memories. It was perfect for my husband, daughter, son and me. Our kids were 2 & 4 when we were there and they had a ball catching lizards and caterpillars in the yard when we weren't playing on the beach. I cannot truly express what a great time we had and I am sad I didn't book it right away for this year because nowhere else seems ro compare. Thank you!!

Owner's Response: Hi Fred and Susan! Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind review of Periwinkle. It means a lot to us that our guests love Periwinkle as much as we do. We hope you will always return to Anna Maria and that your memories of your time there with your children will always be be treasured.

Christmas Delight

Nine days of glorious weather and a cozy cottage were not enough. Everything was as promised, plus, plus, plus. The friendly town library is right across the street. An easy stroll to the Circle K for the morning paper and hot coffee, then back to the bench to watch the pelicans drift over the morning breakers. Thanks for making our 2011 Christmas so special!

The photos do not begin to do justice to this charming beach cottage. Everything we needed to feel right at home was available. The mattress in the master bedroom was high-end and extremely comfortable. The owner was very helpful, communicative and accommodating. We loved that we were able to bring our two labs with us...both because of what we saved by not having to board them and the fact that I didn't have to worry about them all week. The house was pristinely clean...you'd never be able to tell that this is pet-friendly lodging (no hair, odor, etc.). Many restaurants, shops are within easy walking distance. I never wanted to leave!

Owner's Response: Thanks to this guest for her kind words. Many of our guests bring their pets. We find most take wonderful care of Periwinkle and their furry "kids" are well-behaved. We also have a regular visitor in the form of a stumpy-tailed but very friendly black cat who stops by the back yard most afternoons at cocktail time. The Periwinkle yard is not totally fenced so pets must be kept on a leash; the Periwinkle yard is a lovely place to sit outside with a pet and enjoy the tropical flowers and palms. The neighborhood around Periwinkle is great for dog-walking with a leash and there is a wonderful walking/bike path that runs along the Gulf just south of the cottage where many of our guests take their pets.

I don't think there is anything else that you could do to your cottage to make it any better I wouldn't think of staying at another cottage on the island.
