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.

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.

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.

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.
