Nice Location

This ranch style house on stilts is very nicely located on the north end of Anna Maria Island. It is only steps away from the beach and nearby taverns and restaurants.

Overall good experience

The house was a perfect location and worked for our family with 5 adults and 1 child. The kitchen was not quite adequately equipped and the beds and pillows were horrible. However, our overall experience was good.

Starfish Beach

Our stay at Starfish Beach house was just what we needed for a perfect AMI vacation. The home was in a great location with short walks to the bay, the gulf, restaurants and shopping. The house was just as promised with all the amenities. The bedrooms were nice and comfortable. There was a great kitchen, a dining room and spacious living area. The pool was perfect for us. It wasn’t real deep (max 5’) and we all enjoyed the shade from the many palm trees in the yard. Thanks for a perfect AMI retreat!!

Nice clean property, but busy beach beach access. Also, the pool was great but you could not get there from the back of the house so it was a little disconnected. Being close to town was really convenient and we were able to walk many places. Overall we had a great stay!

Beautiful area

The property was in a great location. Very clean. It could use a few upgrades. Kitchen could use a few more plates and things like that. Only 6 dinner plates and no serving dishes. None of the doors have locks including the bathrooms. The pool/grill access is not ideal since you can get to the pool from the back of the house. You have to walk around from the front. Overall, we loved our stay and it was perfect for what we needed. Clean and decorated very nicely.

Great location

I come to the island twice a year and have stayed in many houses. Two big pros about this property are the location and the flexibility ability to book other days then Saturday-Saturday. The location is perfect right next to Ginny’s and Harry’s with beach access right across the street. You can walk to the beach so you don’t have to drive and find a parking spot. The garage had many things to take to the beach which were helpful including a tent for shade. The cons were the master bath was small with low water pressure. There wasn’t much counter space in there for anything but there was a nice big dresser with mirror in the room to make up for it. The bathrooms had no fans or airflow. The beds were comfy but the pillows were flat. We don’t spend much time in our rooms on vacation so it wasn’t a huge deal for us just observations. We did play games every night at the table . We brought games but the house had many as well. One thing that was interesting is there was no welcome book or instructions with this property. I had to text for the wifi password. They responded right away but most properties come with some sort of welcome book and house info/leaving instructions. We really enjoyed our stay here and for a small family of 4 this place worked out great!

Home away from home !!!

First of all anna marie island is heaven 😍 Awesome beach house , great price and really an amazing location ! Literally a 2 min walk to the beach ! A little store for drinks , food , beer etc literally next door ! Great amenities, love the pool ! We did have a pineapple fall when we was at the pool and it busted a tile in the table so I called the rental agency and let them know and within no time they had somebody out there to see it and get measurements to fix it ! If your looking for a beach house that's a great location and super nice and clean ! 👌

Nice spot close to the action

Pros: Found this to be a well-kept house close walking-distance to the Anna Maria shops and restaurants and the beach. It's nice to have access to the garage and the kids beach equipment in there, and the front second-story porch is a wonderful spot to drink coffee in the morning and watch the sun rise. The interior is clean and works well for a family, and the pool is fun. Cons: The pool area is only accessible by going out the front door, down the exterior stairs and around the side of the building, and feels totally cut off from the rest of the house (no good way to communicate to people back there, other than a couple of small bathroom windows). If you have small children, you'll need to plan to be back there at all times, and if you're grilling or eating out there (which is really nice), it's inconvenient to bring everything out, especially if you forget something and need to run all the way back around the house and up the stairs. Not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of. Didn't have any problems with the property management. Ran out of propane for the grill and they promptly replaced it.

Our stay at The Starfish Beach House was better than expected. This was not our first trip to the Island but it ranks among the best. The house was a very short one simple walk to the beach. It was in the heart of the best restaurants on the north end of the island. The pool was a luxury above and beyond expectations and the amenities of the house were comfortable and accommodating. My wife thought the house could have been stocked with a few more perks like trash bags and papers products above the 1 each for a 2 week stay with half a dozen people. The AMIA office is just around the corner and Tracy helped us with a couple things just to be neighborly. Great experience, see you again soon Anna Maria!

Great location, fine house

Starfish Beach was perfect for our month's stay in Anna Maria. It is close to Gulf Drive, but not so close that the traffic was a bother. Easy walking to restaurants, the beach, and the bay. House was nicely appointed (only downside was mediocre skillets and none of the pots would sit flat on the stovetop), bed was comfortable and plenty of towels/linens. The pool was great, even in January. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place on Anna Maria Island.

Great house

Lovely house and pool. Comfortable beds and furniture. Super well stocked cupboards. Close to everything. The only thing I can say bad is that here is no way to communicate to anyone in the pool. I would have liked to have seen the walkway to the door extended to the back of the house with a small sitting area there so that if you could walk out and sit in a chair or talk to somone in the pool without having to come downsatirs and around back. If I wanted to see the pool, I had to stand in the bathtub and lookout. But please don't let this deter you. VERY NICE HOUSE

It was a perfect location

The house had everything we needed and was in a perfect location. The beds were comfy and the front balcony was perfect for the evening. The home was very outdated and the sofas and chair could use a good cleaning. But honestly the location made up for it. It was also good for small kids because the pool was secured behind a gate and there are no stairs.
