The check in process was a breeze. The house was beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable also. The outdoor area and pool were wonderful. We had a blast, especially my 10 year old granddaughter. Beautiful place to stay and close to the beach. We loved it here. Book it, you will not regret it.

The house was great. We really enjoyed the location. Having the heat pool was a nice bonus. The kitchen was well equipped. It was nice and clean. There were a few things that could use an update from a renters view the master bedroom mattress (which is were we slept) could be upgraded the other bedrooms had nicer and much more comfortable mattresses. The patio furniture also should be upgraded the table and four chairs are old. The plastic picnic table is falling apart. The lounge chairs were good. Having the grill was really nice to have to cook on. I don’t want to sound critical but they were the things that we noticed. Over all it was a great place.

The house was okay Living area couch very small for 7. Very unhappy that when we arrived there was no safety measures for the pool. I have very curious 2 and 5year old grandboys and I was a nervous wreck about them getting out there. Also, need a railing to get out of pool. I slipped and broke my toe. The pool heat did not work until the pool service man came yesterday. No backyard lights for nighttime swimming. So overall while we had a wonderful time on AMI , I was disappointed with the house for the cost.

Great AMI Location

This property is spacious and ideally located. It’s an easy walk to the beach and the Rod & Reel Pier. The backyard pool area is beautiful. There are four bedrooms so it’s a great place for families. Everything we needed was provided and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Summer fun on Anna Maria Island

Wonderful week on Anna Maria Island. This house is closer to the bay so ocean access a little far, however, we had golf carts and found a shorter beach access. Pool area very lovely and functional for our group. We highly recommend Starfish cottage.

Great and comfortable home within walking distance to the beach

Very comfortable and spacious home for a family of 8 adults. Very well equipped kitchen! Within walking distance to beach, which is not crowded at all due to it being in the North point location. I would consider renting it again.

Great family week

This house in close proximity to the beach as well as the iconic Rod and Reel restaurant served our family well. The adequate kitchen and gas grill made for some fine seafood meals at home, and it was an easy walk to Anna Maria village. Pool was perfect. No problems with WiFi.
