We enjoyed our stay! Everything was wonderful! Beds are very comfortable, pool is beautiful and so refreshing after spending the day at the beach! And the location is convenient to everything and just a short walk to the beach! We would book again!

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!

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.

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.

The house was perfect for a family vacation with two children. Only a block to the beach. The pool was great to cool off in the afternoons. The kitchen was stocked for daily breakfast and dinners. Lots of beach and pool toys provided. We used the wagon and umbrella on the beach. The owner called to check in and was very friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Home was very neat @ clean and in great location the only negative was TV in living room is smaller than the average and difficult to read/view from seats. If not familiar with Roku remote may be tricky or irritating for some.

The home was exactly as described. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Very clean home with everything we needed. You can tell the owner has recently invested in many upgrades to the inside and outside of the property. Pool area clean. Owner furnished chairs, umbrellas, coolers which made traveling so much easier. Communication with Carolyn the owner was terrific. Looking forward to another vacation on Holmes beach.

The house was just as it looked in the pictures. Very comfortable and well located on Anna Maria. The backyard and pool were a lovely oasis. Nice to have pool heat included in the price. Thats not always the case!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Carolyn, the host was very responsive and easy to contact.

The Sea Star Cottage and its host - Carolyn - are amazing! The place exceeded our expectations. It is centrally located, a short walk to the beach, and the ambience and general feel of the entire cottage were great! Carolyn was always helpful and recommended several local eating places that were spot on for our tastes. Carolyn is very much an authentic and welcoming host. We would highly recommend staying here.

Hurricane Ian put a dent in our vacation plans but Carolyn was with us every step of the way. She communicated regularly and gave us options when our travel plans were affected by the hurricane. Her properties are beautiful, clean, quiet, and in great locations. Loved our stay and our host - will be back!

We are regulars to AMI usually staying around Bean Point area
We found 71st street to be more centrally situated for the beach, five minutes walk and the restaurants, shops etc.
Sea Star was everything we expected as advertised
Carolyn the owner was fantastic, we had a couple of minor issues with the toaster not working and a faulty pump on the washer.
These issues she sorted immediately and professionally in person resolving them immediately. Thanks Carolyn
Another lovely holiday in a Special Place.

My husband and my two sons had a wonderful stay. The shared home (one home on each side) had all the amenities we needed for the week. The house was clean which is our number one priority. We enjoyed the beach decor and light colors. The host had all of the needed items to enjoy our week at the pool and beach. The wagon made going to the beach super easy. The house looks just like the photos, but the private pool was a little smaller than we expected for our busy boys. It worked out great though and was just the right temperature. The lanai was a great space, as was the front deck. The outside spaces made the house feel much bigger. The host was very quick to answer any questions. AMI was beautiful! We loved our trip and will be back again some day!

We really enjoyed our time in Anna Maria Island! The house was perfect for our family of 4. It was a short walk to the beach and the house is equipped with all the beach essentials. Our 2 young children enjoyed the sand toys as well. The pool and patio are beautiful too! We can’t wait to return next year!
