Starfish Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Starfish Cottage is situated towards the top end of Anna Maria Island. The property is extremely well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would want to enjoy your holiday. The master bedroom has a King bed and benefits from an en-suite shower room and the 2nd bedroom has twin beds. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.

Outside in the tropically landscaped garden you will find the free form pool with waterfall which is shared with the occupants of our 2 smaller cottages (at most there would be 8 people using the pool), loungers, chairs and tables. There is also a private sitting area to the other side of the property which is for the occupants of Starfish Cottage only.

The property benefits from off street parking for 1 car.

The beautiful beach is just 200 feet away at the end of the quiet road. Numerous restaurants are also within easy walking distance and the free trolley bus is the perfect way to travel if you want to explore further without having to use a car.

The Starfish Cottage is the perfect location, cozy and well stocked. We loved being able to roll out of bed and on to the beach with ease. The pool was especially a highlight for our family. We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again when we visit family.

Wonderful AMI stay

Starfish cottage has it all with a great price point! The location can’t be beat, just a 2 minute walk and you’re on the beach at Bean Point. Right down the road is North Shore Coffee and access to the main thoroughfare of the island with shops and restaurants. The cottage was the perfect size for my family of four. One king room and one twin room was just what we needed. The access to the pool meant we could be in the water all day. There was plenty of beach items available as well, a wagon, boogie board, sand toys etc. Kitchen had everything we needed and we even had a welcome bottle of wine and snacks, not expected but a great touch. My only critiques for the property would be the water pressure in the primary bathroom was very low and we couldn’t get the water warm but the main bath was perfect. Additionally the shower curtains could be refreshed/replaced. If you’re coming to AMI you should absolutely stay here, I know me and my family will be back again soon!

Super cute cottage for family of 4

We really enjoyed our stay at the starfish cottage! It is the perfect size for a family of 4. We were soooo close to the beach, shops, you name it! We rented bikes and a golf cart just for entertainment but could have easily walked anywhere we wanted to go. We had groceries delivered and cooked most of our meals in the well equipped kitchen! We don't care much for long lines and waiting to eat out so we were thrilled that the kitchen had everything we needed to make yummy meals. THANKS so much for your amazing hospitality! We will be back:)

We loved everything about starfish cottage. The backyard pool, proximity to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. Clean and quiet with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Master bed was a little outdated. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Good but not great

The location was amazing!!! About 50 steps to the beach. The house was as described but there were a few things we were disappointed in. 1) the master bath was so small the door wouldn’t even open all the way it would hit the toilet. Also, the water pressure in that shower was not good. 2) the cookware in the kitchen, wasn’t the best in the stove was hard to regulate 3) there were not any trash bags at the property so I had to purchase some 4) ants! Ants were everywhere in the dining room and in the kitchen area. 5) need better beach chairs. The few that were there are rusted All in all was a great place to stay in the above items wouldn’t keep me from staying here again.

The home was beautiful and well maintained. It was decorated nicely and was very clean. It met all our needs. The pool was outstanding with the umbrella tables and lounge chairs. The private beach just a short distance away was amazing with beautiful sunsets. We definitely would come back and stay here!!

Holiday vacation at starfish cottage

My family enjoyed our holiday celebration vacation at the starfish cottage. We enjoyed the wonderful location on Anna Maria, the comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and the beautiful patio with heated pool. We were happy to be near many shops to pick up donuts and to get breakfast. The cottage is great for enjoying family dinners and it was so nice that the host supplied some water, snacks and a bottle of wine. We truly felt fortunate to find this wonderful spot and hope to return soon.

Perfect place in perfect location for perfect vacation

Having never been to Anna Maria Island, we chose the Starfish cottage because it looked like the right size for a family of 3 in a good location with a pool. As soon as we arrived, we knew we made the right choice. The 2 bedroom cottage was much bigger than we thought and was spotless upon arrival. The pool is very private which we really enjoyed. The best part was the location. We walked everywhere. The beach is only a few hundred yards down from the cottage and it was a perfect beach on Bean’s Point. Walking to Pine Ave, the city pier and the Rod and Reel pier was so nice. This was the perfect place for us for a perfect vacation. Thank you!
