About this property

Starfish Cottage - One of 3 Cottages, with shared pool

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.

Stayed here in March 2026. House was absolutely beautiful and clean! Just a short walk to the beach with 2 small kids was super convenient. We also used the beach wagon, chair, and sand toys which was great! The house had a heated outdoor shower, great for washing sandy toes and bodies off before heading inside. We used the heated pool on the property as well. Super private and cozy. The house was very close to all the local shops and restaurants. The north part of the island was the place to be, and the beach close by was never crowded. Wonderful stay and would love to stay again!

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.

A lovely cottage, and a great location. The pool and access to the beach was perfect. The actual cottage was even nicer than the photos and listing. The host was easily accessed and she quickly responded to questions and needs. We highly recommend.

Cottage feel at the beach!

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 Master bed was a little outdated.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.

Beautiful getaway

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!!

Great vacation cottage!!

The cottage was clean and perfect for our little family get away! Short walk to the beach and plenty of room on the beach for social distancing. We had an issue with the air conditioner one night and Sharon did a great job in getting someone out to check it out that night. We had a great time and will definitely be back!!!

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.

Another great stay at “the cottages”.

Second stay at the cottages. Stayed in Starfish this time. The cottage was so comfortable. Clean and had everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation. Sharon and Liane are a pleasure to work with. New find this trip was Robinson Preserve. Recommend googling it and visiting it. Already planning my next visit and would only stay at “the cottages”!

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:)
