Perfect vacation

This place is everything we wanted in an Anna Maria stay! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It had a well stocked kitchen with a KCup coffee machine and a regular coffee pot and every thing you’d need to cook for the week. The pool area was peaceful, quiet, and a great spot to sit and cool off, we also loved to play cards at the awesome covered table by the pool. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and loved eating dinner out there as well. The location was a 2 min walk to the beautiful beach, and this rental had everything we needed to enjoy our day at the beach; awesome beach chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and even a wagon to tow it the short walk. Our host, Carolyn, was accommodating and checked in on us early in the week. The rental is a perfect location, walkable to beach, short drive to Pine Ave, but also convenient to Publix etc. It’s in a quiet residential part of Anna Maria and we loved that. If we return to AMI, we’d definitely rent here again!

Perfect!

Our stay at Sea Star Cottage was absolutely wonderful. The property is clean and very well maintained. When we had questions for the owner, communication was quick and easy. It was really nice to find beach gear available as we realize this is not standard at all rental locations. Location was great and beach was not busy. Pool is small in size but was perfect for our family. It is the nicest pool we have ever had at a rental property. We typically stay further north on the island so it was nice to find the same charm in a different area. We rented bikes from Beach Bums and we only used our car once during our week. Our family has stayed on AMI for many of our family vacations and found this location to be our favorite. We would definitely rent here again.

What a place!

This place had everything! The inside was spacious and updated while the outside had a covered seating area next to your very own pool. The location was amazing as well. A less than 5 minute walk to the beach or trolley stop, what more could you ask for.
