Welcome to The Diamond Star! Experience beachfront living in the best location Anna Maria Island offers! We invite you to our family home, originally built by my grandfather, legendary left-handed pitcher Warren Spahn, affectionately known as “The Diamond Star.”
Marvel at uninterrupted beachfront views, white sandy shores, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets — just a glimpse of what awaits at The Diamond Star! Our beachfront house combines all the comforts of home with the luxury of an unforgettable beach retreat.
While TVs are available throughout the house, who needs them when you can enjoy magnificent ocean views from both master suites, the living room, and the kitchen? Savor a sunset dinner on one of our private decks, or wander down our exclusive path to the beach for endless fun in the sun. Relish your morning coffee with a beach stroll, or dive into activities like snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, flying kites, or building sandcastles! Keep an eye out for dolphins and manatees frolicking in the waves! We also provide most beach gear, including kayaks, paddleboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, towels, kites, sunshades, sand toys, and a handy push/pull cart for transporting everything to the beach.
After a sun-soaked day, unwind with a cocktail and watch the breathtaking sunset from the beach or one of our private decks. Cool off with a swim in the new pool or head to the sandbar for appetizers, dinner, and drinks as the sun dips below the horizon. And don’t forget your camera for family photos!
Our charming 5-bedroom home features 4 king beds and two sets of bunk beds, with each bedroom boasting its own full bathroom. Newly furnished in 2025, the house provides ample space for family fun — whether it's playing board games, starting a puzzle, or enjoying a movie night! Embrace outdoor cooking on our grill while engaging in yard games or taking a refreshing swim in the pool. We offer multiple board games, cornhole, ping pong, ring toss, bocce ball, and a giant Jenga set for your entertainment! Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare family meals, and we even have a highchair for the little ones! The Diamond Star offers super-fast (free) WiFi that extends throughout the inside and outside of our home! We also have an office with a printer and scanner for all your business needs!

Fantastic Villa. Incredible location right on the beach with incredible views. The villa itself was in amazing condition with great facilities and beautifully furnished. We (family of 6) had a great vacation there and Nicole (owner) was incredibly attentive and happy to help whenever. Will be returning very soon !!!
We can't say enough good things about this house and the owners! The location, amenities, cleanliness, and communication were all A.We will definitely stay here again!
Nicole could not have been a more hospitable host - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. Perfect for large families and children. Book it!
Not only does the house have a great location the inside out outside of the home is beautiful. They also have everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and outside. The host is extremely responsive and gave us great recommendations before we arrived. We will be going back again in the near future.
This property is exceptional. We’ve stayed in several beach houses, but this one is by far our favorite. The layout of the house is perfect and they have anything you can possibly need at the house (spices, paper towels, tide pods, coffee, beach chairs, beach toys, etc). Nicole was extremely helpful and responsive. We will be going back!
The PERFECT Anna Maria beach house! New, gorgeous, light-filled, immaculately clean: this house has been so thoughtfully designed and well-appointed, no detail is missed. Even better than the pictures. The vibe is luxurious but uncluttered, casual, comfortable elegance. Great views; best location on the island. The hosts are kind, attentive and easy-going. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
We had a fabulous trip. The area is wonderful and the house is in a perfect location….beachfront but walking distance to everything we needed. Beautiful view and a perfectly spotless house with everything we needed.
The Diamond Star has it all! The kitchen is fully stocked, and they provide everything you need for a day at the beach. There are tons of games for family! The house is immaculate, and the location is fantastic! We were able to walk to get ice cream, dinner, and breakfast effortlessly. Our family loved the pool and watching the sunsets from the decks! Nicole was a wonderful host, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed!
Fantastic beachfront property, with the beach on the doorstep, cafes and shops within walking distance.
Only negative would be the property is a little tired in places (exterior wood needs replacing, curtain rail on floor)
But this doesn't detract from a lovely holiday and perfect location

Scott,
We just received our city and state permit for our house remodel and addition. You happened to be the last guest before our remodel started. The Diamond Star will be incredible when the remodel is complete! We are taking it down to the studs, adding two additional bedrooms, new kitchen, 4 additional bathrooms, pool and more. We hope you will return in the future!

We stayed at the Diamond Star Beach House the week before Christmas for a family vacation and had a wonderful experience. The home is extremely well provisioned. Both the indoor and outdoor kitchens stood out with high-quality cookware, including a sous vide, making it easy to cook and enjoy meals together. We also really enjoyed the outdoor cooking and living areas, which were perfect for relaxing as a family.Just steps from the beach, the location is excellent, with beautiful sunsets that never get old. The home is also within easy walking distance of several restaurants, a coffee shop, and two bakeries, which was a great convenience. The house was clean, comfortable, and clearly well-maintained.Communication with the owner was outstanding. They were very responsive, both before and during our stay. We had a couple of minor issues, which were addressed immediately, something we really appreciated.Overall, this is a thoughtfully maintained home in a fantastic beachfront location with an attentive owner. We would absolutely consider staying here again and would recommend it to families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-equipped place right on the beach.
This house has everything for an extended stay! The kitchen was fully equipped to cook for our family, and the gas grill and burner worked wonderfully for dinners and breakfasts. The beds are new and very comfortable. Every bedroom has its own bathroom! The home's proximity to the beach and the supplied beach equipment made our trip perfect. Food, restaurants, and shopping are just two blocks away, plus there’s a fantastic beach bar about a third of a mile down the shore! Every night, the sunsets at the beach or on the deck were unforgettable. Nicole was amazing to work with and very responsive!
This is an amazing property in an amazing location! The beach view is spectacular to wake up to every morning and enjoy all day. We felt like we were on the beach even when we weren't physically on the sand. The outdoor beach closet is well stocked with everything you may want for beach fun. Comfortable furnishings throughout and a well stocked kitchen too. The location was in walking distance to restaurants and shops. We didn't have to leave the north end of the island. Looking forward to a return visit!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was in the perfect spot for viewing the most beautiful sunsets each night. We have 5 children ages 15, 13, 7, 5 and 5 and they all loved AMI. The house was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The beds were super comfortable! We also didn't have to worry with bringing beach supplies with us because the home supplies beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, a paddlebaord and kayak,, and the list goes on! This freed up valuable packing space in our vehicle for the drive. The owner was extremely responsive and genuinely concerned that we enjoyed our time on AMI. We would love to book this home again!
I'm a little reluctant to write a review, as I wish I could could keep this place a secret. In additional to having a world-class beach view, every aspect of the property is just spectacular. An incredibly well-stocked and well thought out kitchen, towels - linens and pillows that you'd expect at a 5 star resort, every beach chair - umbrella - and beach toy you'd ever need, fantastic TV packages for rainy days, and on top of all that, the house is located on a quiet residential street in the desirable north AMI - yet still within walking or bike riding distance to all AM has to offer. Host Nicole has thought of everything, including being an wonderful Host to communicate with and rent from. Like the title says, all in all - just spectacular!
We enjoyed our stay at this beachfront place. The living room and master bedroom were roomy and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals, or enjoy the many restaurants on the island and mainland. The Ugly Grouper was a fun place and we loved Habanero Mexican on the mainland. The Donut Experiment was awesome and the AMI Beach Hut has huge ice cream scoops! Both of these are within walking distance.
There was a little glitch getting into the house the first night because the keypad doesn’t work if the internet is out. But Nicole was very quick to respond to anything we needed. There are a few minor items that need repair, but I’m sure they will be taken care of soon since more updates are planned.

Great location, Poor inside
What a wonderful spot. At the beach, at the ocean. Great location. View the ocean all day long. The problem was the insides. Very, Very poor kitchen utensils. Teflon was eroded from all the pans, so you would not want to use them. Shades were broken so they you had to manually close them. The lights were bad, poor light bulbs, etc. You would not expect all of this at this price. The owner has to put some money into making this a more attractive property. Again, the look to the outside and the location were perfect. But, the insides were deplorable.

Hi James,
Thank you for your feedback. We have been in the process of updating our house. Since your stay, we have replaced all window treatments, replaced barstools, living room rug and all pots and pans. We will continue to make updates on a yearly basis. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to have you return in the future.
Sincerely,
The Spahn Family
Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at a newly remodeled Diamond Star beachfront home in Anna Maria, and I can't say enough about how stunning it is! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the serene beauty of the beachfront location, with breathtaking views of the ocean. The pool and decks game endless entertainment options for our family. The house itself is beautifully designed. The furniture is stylish and comfortable, high-quality furniture that makes the entire space feel very upscale. The living area has plush sofas, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, and the dining space is equipped with a wooden table that can accommodate 10.One of the highlights for me was the fully equipped kitchen. It’s a chef's dream with new appliances, ample counter space, and everything you need to whip up a delicious meal. I loved enjoying breakfast on the spacious patio, with the sound of waves providing the perfect backdrop.Another fantastic aspect of this home is its location. You can easily walk everywhere, whether it’s to the nearby beach, charming local shops, or delightful restaurants. It’s incredibly convenient to be able to stroll around without the need for a car.Overall, this beachfront home is an absolute gem. The blend of upscale comfort and a prime location makes it a perfect home for our family. We can't wait to return!
We loved our week on the island. There is not a better location or property. The beach was right there, not crowded in this area, quiet neighborhood - perfection!!
Perfect location with quick access to the beach. A quick look out of the massive glass windows gives you immediate access to what's happening. Very private neighborhood. The outdoor shower on the deck provided easy sand clean-up every time we entered the home. This home was more than spacious for us.
This beach house is perfect for your next beach front getaway. The beach was literally steps away and we enjoyed all the included beach necessities: wagons, chairs, and all the toys for kids to play in the sand.
