Anna Maria Island, Florida
Idyllic Holiday Properties is a small friendly holiday company offering an honest and efficient service for our privately owned rental properties situated in fantastic locations on Anna Maria Island on the Gulf coast of Florida (the web addresses for our other properties on VRBO can be found below). The island has 7 miles of beautiful sugar-white sandy beach where you will see pelicans dive, dolphins play and the ibis run.
Starfish Cottage is situated towards the top end of Anna Maria Island. The property is extremely well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would want to enjoy your holiday.
The master bedroom has a king bed and benefits from an en-suite shower room and the 2nd bedroom has twin beds. The family bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.
Outside in the tropically landscaped garden you will find the free form pool with waterfall which is shared with the occupants of our 2 smaller cottages (at most there would be 4 additional people using the pool), loungers, chairs and tables. There is also a private sitting area to the other side of the property which is for the occupants of Starfish Cottage only. The property benefits from off street parking for 1 car.
The beautiful beach is just 200 feet away at the end of the quiet road. Numerous restaurants are also within easy walking distance and the free trolley bus is the perfect way to travel if you want to explore the island further without having to use a car.

Love everything about this place! Great location! Close to beach, close to shopping, close to restaurants!! What more could we ask for! Will be back!!
The location was amazing!!! About 50 steps to the beach. The house was as described but there were a few things we were disappointed in. 1) the master bath was so small the door wouldn’t even open all the way it would hit the toilet. Also, the water pressure in that shower was not good. 2) the cookware in the kitchen, wasn’t the best in the stove was hard to regulate 3) there were not any trash bags at the property so I had to purchase some 4) ants! Ants were everywhere in the dining room and in the kitchen area. 5) need better beach chairs. The few that were there are rusted All in all was a great place to stay in the above items wouldn’t keep me from staying here again.
The home was beautiful and well maintained. It was decorated nicely and was very clean. It met all our needs. The pool was outstanding with the umbrella tables and lounge chairs. The private beach just a short distance away was amazing with beautiful sunsets. We definitely would come back and stay here!!
Excellent Experience fantastic property close to the beach. Thank you
The cottage was perfect for my family of 4. My young kids loved the pool and the short walk to the beach. The location was perfect for everything we needed. The kitchen was also well stocked so we could eat in with ease. We’ll be back!
Pleasant stay
Gorgeous property, perfectly laid out and decorated! Fantastic location close to restaurants but in a quiet neighborhood. Can’t ask for anything else!
My family enjoyed our holiday celebration vacation at the starfish cottage. We enjoyed the wonderful location on Anna Maria, the comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and the beautiful patio with heated pool. We were happy to be near many shops to pick up donuts and to get breakfast. The cottage is great for enjoying family dinners and it was so nice that the host supplied some water, snacks and a bottle of wine. We truly felt fortunate to find this wonderful spot and hope to return soon.
Property was very cute, clean and well kept, and the perfect location. We will be back!
We enjoyed our private pool and the short location to Pine St and beach.
We loved the cottage it was spotless and the pool was an added bonus. The beach was so close, we will stay there again.
Perfect vacation for our family. Very short walk to the beach which made it so nice not worrying about finding beach access parking. We will definitely stay here again!
Having never been to Anna Maria Island, we chose the Starfish cottage because it looked like the right size for a family of 3 in a good location with a pool. As soon as we arrived, we knew we made the right choice. The 2 bedroom cottage was much bigger than we thought and was spotless upon arrival. The pool is very private which we really enjoyed. The best part was the location. We walked everywhere. The beach is only a few hundred yards down from the cottage and it was a perfect beach on Bean’s Point. Walking to Pine Ave, the city pier and the Rod and Reel pier was so nice. This was the perfect place for us for a perfect vacation. Thank you!
LOVED the Starfish Cottage! LOVED the pool and peacefulness of that end of the island!!! LOVED being close to some of the shops and restaurants that we could walk to! Thank you Pam Swanson
