It was so nice for all of us to each have a room and our own bathroom! We were right next to a trolly stop which was super helpful. Also, a short little walk to the beautiful clean beach. I contacted the lister on Sunday because the ice maker in the freezer wasn't working and someone came Monday to fix it. Two downsides - the grill didn't really heat up and the side door didn't latch but it did lock otherwise was very happy with my first VRBO experience!

We had a great vacation. House is 1.5 blocks to beach so perfect location. Had one minor hiccup, but property managers handled the problem quick and efficiently. Back yard is better than pictured! Will definitely be back!

Perfect vacation getaway. Well-appointed home with thoughtful touches. Clean, new appliances, washer dryer and bathroom for every bedroom. Perfect for three to four couples or combination with family. Very short walk to the beach (across the street) and everything you'd want to take spend the day at the beach or the pool. The house is perfectly positioned - far enough away from the north and midpoints of the Island with limited congestion. This pretty house, has a small and perfect size pool to cool off or soak, ping pong table and bags boxes for out door games. Reliable Wifi/TV's in every bedroom. They've thought of everything.

The house was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the heated pool. The water temperature stayed comfortable all week despite the cooler weather in January. The proximity to the beach is great.

Myself and 3 girlfriends were absolutely impressed by our entire stay. The ease of arrival, the great island décor, cleanliness and the setup so we each had our own rooms with a king size bed was ideal. We had a very close walk to the beach and loved the heated pool. All the pool toys and beach chairs was an added bonus. The prompt response by Anna Maria Life to our questions was appreciated. My only suggestion is they include information on how to access the TV’s. We plan to come back next girl’s holiday and stay at Starfish Cottage.

Very nice...thanks.

Love this home! So close to the beach! Home has a great lay out, yard & pool. This our second time staying at Starfish Cottage & hope it's not our last!

Close to beach. Trolley ride to pier and shops on other end of island.

The home is just as described in the listing. It is clean and comfortable and we loved that each bedroom had a king bed and we each had our own bathroom. Two en-suite and two hall baths. All bedrooms have tv’s and a huge tv in the living room. The back yard is lovely with a fun turf area where we could practice yoga. The kitchen has all the basic utensils and the refrigerator is nice and big. We loved that there were beach chairs and noodles and floats for our use. It is an easy walk to the beach! They also had plenty of beach towels. Just note, there are no food products whatsoever. I would suggest stopping at the dollar store for essentials like hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap(they provide one wash) laundry detergent, Kleenex, extra paper towels and toilet paper(they provide one roll for each bathroom and one roll of paper towels) kitchen trash bags (they have two) I did like that we could leave any unopened food for the cleaning crew to donate. We will definitely rent this place again!!

I booked the trip at the Starfish Cottage for my in laws and I. We stayed with a couple small children so the fact that this was all one level, had a private pool, and was only a block’s walk to the beach access made it perfect for us. Our littles enjoyed the pool. We liked not having to worry about any stairs, and we loved that since we were so close to the beach we could walk, didn’t need to worry about parking, and when littles needed naps some of us could come back to put them down for a rest while others stayed at the beach. The outdoor shower was really convenient too. The location was perfect, the house was clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We all mentioned the beds being comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out. Property managers were very responsive, easy to communicate with and very helpful and accommodating when plans for us changed a couple times. I would highly recommend staying here and with these owners at any of their properties.

It felt like it was too good to be true. Very well-kept property everything work properly pool was well-kept and clean and was only one block away from the beach couldn’t ask for more definitely would stay again…

Easy walk to the beach. Very quiet. Roomy

Great location! 1 block to the public beach. Great setup for 4 couples. Water pressure in the 2 bedrooms with bathrooms was great, not so good in the detached bathrooms. Air conditioning seemed to have an issue. House was warm, could never get the temp below 74 which made sleeping uncomfortable. Great pool but water seemed murky but had some strong winds with a lot of debris falling from the trees. Could have used a few more beach chairs, we ended up purchasing a couple and left them at the house, but there still wasn’t a chair for all 8 of us.

Ideal location - you can truly go from pool to beach and back again! Property is generally well maintained. Pool ideal for our 5yo. Nice play area on the side with fake grass. Quiet inside despite being on the corner. Comfy beds!

This was truly an exemplary property. This was probably our ~8th vacation rental home, and we agreed it was the best experience. This house is everything they say and more. 4 bedrooms, all king beds. 4 bathrooms (3 with showers, 1 with a shower/bath combo). Nice kitchen with newer appliances in good condition. Interior space had plenty of room for a family of 5. A TV with a cable box in every bedroom plus a large ~65" in the living room - and even an outdoor TV in a little weatherproof enclosure you can open up if you want to watch TV in the pool. ...speaking of which... the back yard is AMAZING! Very nice clean pool (believe it was salt not chlorine) that is HEATED and lighted. There is a large open space with nice new astroturf that kids can play in, a set of bags (cornhole) boxes, adirondack chairs, chaise lounges, and an outdoor dining table. Plus a propane grill, those little portable "backpack" fold-up beach chairs with the puches on them for beach gear, and even an outdoor shower to wash the sand off before you go inside. Did I mention it has a lovely pool too? The kids and I really enjoyed the pool, with nice concrete stairs built into it that little kids could do safely (supervised, of course). There is a nice plastic privacy fence all around, and palm trees and lovely tropical landscaping that made the backyard completely private. No one can see you in the pool. Wow, what a wonderful property. The only issue we had was the pool had a fair amount of plant debris (palm tree leaves and such) in it, but I called the property manager and they had someone out the next day to clean it. Apparently they normally clean it twice a week, but they did have a rainstorm roll through before we arrived that probably caused a lot of the leaves to fall in. I suppose that's the price you pay for such nice landscaping and privacy in your back yard. Really, the speed with which they took care of it actually turned it into a positive in my opinion. Beach access throughout AMI & Holmes beach is excellent, nearly every street has a beach access at the end, and you are 2 very short blocks (seriously, only like 3 houses per block) to get your feet in the sand at the beach. The beach nearby is very nice white sand and very clean. It's not quite Siesta Key quality but is very close and better than 95% of beaches I've ever visited. We stayed in February, so nights were cooler, but everything worked great. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Amazing house with open floor plan. Really comfortable furniture and bedding. Loved the outdoor area with the pool, patio and new turf.

Nice

We had an amazing experience at the house. We have stayed many places and this is the best! Short walk to the beach with the perfect location. We had four couples stay and did not feel over crowded at all. It was wonderful !!! It was very clean! We had some issues with the AC and the property responded right away , just an overall wonderful experience.

Very nice, close to the beach and restaurants. Could use a little more silverware. Beds were comfy. No stairs to climb made it nice for us. There were 7 of us and had plenty of room. Everyone we dealt with was very helpful and friendly.

This is a very beautiful home located very close to the beach. A very easy walk. It’s wonderful that every bedroom has its own bathroom and of course there’s a private pool. Would absolutely stay here again!

I think the dishwasher is broken. All of the dishes, pans and knives had chunks or grease on them. The dishes came out of the dishwasher filthy. A small issue. Otherwise this property was first class!

Great house. Great location on the island. We hesitated at first because of a couple reviews about cleanliness but I am glad we booked because this was not an issue at all. The house was clean and well- cared for. We loved the 4 king bedrooms with 4 full baths. The communication when I had questions was very prompt. Beach access is right across the street and the sunsets are not too be missed. Great house!

We had a great time here with 3 generations. House was very clean and the pool felt wonderful. Would definitely stay here again

Neither AMI management nor the owner of this property either cares or bothered inspecting this home before renting it out again. We spent the better part of our first day calling, arguing with some Jersey amazon that said SHE knows how to clean and what we were expecting was a 'deep clean'. Really??? Sand in the sheets, on the duvets, on the furniture, sticky dirt on the floors (kids feet blackened..eww gross) Very nice hispanic lady collected all the linen to wash when we called AMI, then later her boss came to YELL at us. Stated she only does a surface clean..uhhh...food debris still on dining table??? VMI was very responsive to complaints and did take care of multiple issues. Whoever rented before us must have had a heck of a party leaving a lot of broken things. Won't rent here again, likely not through VMI if this is how properties are managed. Have rented before on the Island and it was GREAT! This place was more expensive and truly left filthy. FYI..no coasters found till the last day. My son was standing by a lamp and found them broken and stuffed down inside. Prior tenants must have been off the hook. Place across the street loaded up with about 14 people. Place next door had so much weed being smoked we couldn't let the kids use the pool much. Kept finding gates to back yard open..YIKES. Never again.

This home was perfect for our family. Very close to the beach!! Would definitely stay here again!!
