Wonderful vacation

We had the best week on Anna Maria island staying here. The house was perfect for our family. Just a short walk to the beach where we made wonderful memories. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved it!

This house was perfect for our family (and pups)! Quick access to the beach and an easy bike ride to restaurants. Having a private pool was the best way to end each evening.

Family Fun!

I've stayed in Anna Maria many times in many houses. This one was ideal for our small family. Easy beach access, a small pool to cool off in the evenings, games for the whole family, and clean home to rest in after a day at the beach.

Quaint Cottage near beach

The cottage was clean and located near beach. It could have been stocked better. We had one small bar soap for 2 bathrooms and kitchen sink until we got to the store.

Property is dated

Given the storm damage to all of AMI, this propeerty appears to have been whipped into shape and we were glad for that. Given that the weather was unusually cool compared to our many years of thanksgiving time stays at AMI we were glad to have a place to rent. However, the kitchen was poorly equipped, pillows and bedding were of poor quality, the range worked but was very old. Needs a receptacle for recycle items and waste basket for bathroom. Having said all that "We will return to AMI next Thanksgiving. Janae & Eric

Indulgence

Opulent setting in traditional Floridian decor. A secluded outdoor sitting space off the master with soft lighting. The pool, all your own, at ALL TIMES inviting you to enjoy. Walk to white sands on the Gulf. Enjoy each meal in the sunshine outside or inside. Do not pack too much. You won’t need much to wear and whatever you do wear you can wash in your own washer and dryer.

AMI Starfish

This was the perfect location for us to enjoy AMI. We were in the middle of everything, couple of minutes walk to beach for the most perfect sunsets every evening, walking distance to delis, pubs and restaurants and private enough that you feel away from it all. The house itself is even better than it looks in the pictures, the games areas and outdoor dining/bar were a lot of fun also. I'm sure we're going to be back! Anna Maria Life Vacation Rentals were also absolutely outstanding! Thanks for a great time AMI Starfish and AMI Vacation Rentals!

Open and bright

We've been coming to AMI for decades, but only recently retired and so are able to stay longer than the Annual Spring Break. Since we're down for a month, we like to bring the four legged member of our family, so we need pet friendly accommodations. Whether we were drinking beverages on the front porch, playing games in the game room with the grandkids, or lounging by the heated pool, AMI Starfish fit our needs beautifully. Perhaps what I loved most was waking up to the sunshine streaming through all the windows. We do wish there had been some basic cleaning supplies so we could keep the floors clean under our bare feet. The broom and vacuum didn't quite cut it.

Almost Perfect

If there was a rating of 4 1/2, we would have chosen it. The house is the way it is pictured, comfortable, well stocked,etc. The staff is responsive, efficient and eager to please. Why not a "5" rating? Two things relating to the cleanliness of the house. The master bath's shower had several areas of mold around the base of the shower. We actually took a photo of it, but my husband says he may have deleted it. The other, also related to cleanliness, is when on May 9th someone came to change the air conditioning filter, I was there and saw it. We change our filters at home every few months and it never, ever gets the amount of dirt on it the one the service man showed me, suggesting they are not changed frequently enough. That's it. See you next year.

5 Stars

Great house, excellent location only 2 blocks from the beach, quiet street, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The house itself was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed including outdoor beach gear and toys. The private pool was great and a. wonderful way to cool off after a day on the beach. The outside covered patio/entertaining area was awesome as well as the home's lower level game area. Anna Maria Life was a great company to work with, very friendly and responsive. We can't wait to come back to AMI Starfish.

AMI Starfish

AMI Starfish is a wonderful unit, tastefully decorated with all the amenities one could ask for in a vacation home. We really enjoyed relaxing on the decks, by the pool and in the bar area. The location is perfect, being two blocks from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Only negative has nothing to do with the unit, but the City is doing a large water line replacement project that is causing pools of stagnet water in front of the home. On Holmes Blvd. there are torn up sidewalks and mounds of construction materials. This has made the experience less enjoyable then on previous visits to Holmes Beach. We would definitely stay again at this unit, when the pipeline work is complete. We appreciate the owners hospitality and their attention to detail to make this a great vacation experience.

Paradise with petty issues

The house is just as advertised. Beautiful house, beautiful pool, comfortable beds. Kids loved it, grill worked perfectly. Only small things were the internet stunk. Some hot afternoons where you want to crash and watch TV wasn't possible. Also I was on call and really needed internet. Also there's a land line that rings 10 times per day. I'd recommend and stay here again. The horrible internet bugged me but just an inconvenience.
