We visit AMI every year and this property was extremely nice for a small family with young children. The beds were comfortable, everything worked well and the kitchen was stocked. The pool is perfect with a great amount of both sun and shade and we enjoyed eating most of our meals outdoors at the covered table near the pool. They also have everything you could possibly want for beach days (wagon, chairs, umbrella, toys, cooler, etc). We truly enjoyed our stay. ##### Valerie W.

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! ##### Shannon B. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara G. 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect! 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. ##### Sara G.

Would definitely stay again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie L. 10 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect vacation from start to finish 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. ##### Debbie L.
