About this property

Seahorse Cottage - With shared pool, 200 feet from the beach

The property is situated towards the top end of Anna Maria Island. It is one of a cluster of 3 cottages which have the benefit of a shared free form pool with waterfall (at most there would be 8 people using the pool).

This spacious property is very well furnished and equipped. The bedroom has a Queen size bed and the bathroom is fitted with a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.

There is an internal door which connects to Shell Cottage therefore making it possible to rent the 2 properties together to accommodate up to 4 people (this door is lockable from both sides to ensure privacy).

You will find tables, chairs and loungers around the pool, which is situated in a tropically landscaped garden, making an ideal space to sit and relax while enjoying the beautiful weather.

The property benefits from off street parking for 1 car.

The beach is just 200 feet away at the end of the quiet road and numerous restaurants can also be found within walking distance. If you wanted to explore the island further without having to use your car then the free trolley bus is the perfect answer.

Hi Troy - Thanks so much for your kind words. We're delighted the location was perfect for you, and that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding your feedback, may we explain that, due to Covid, the owner of the property has been unable to visit for more than two years to carry out the usual annual checks. The good news is she will be visiting soon to do a thorough inspection and arrange any updates required. We do our utmost to maintain high standards - we want our guests' experience to be the best it possibly can be. Hope to see you again one day!

Clean house. Any small issues we had (internet didn’t work) they were quick to address. There was construction going on next door and they accidentally cut the internet line! Contacted management and they got it fixed right away. Highly recommend it’s like 1 minute walk to the beach from here! Great location would recommend to anyone!

The location was perfect!

When this one says “close to the beach” - they mean it! This little spot is perfect for an Anna Maria getaway and is literally steps from the Beach access off Spruce Ave. The local property manager was extremely responsive to questions and she even helped us retrieve some clothing mistakenly picked up by the cleaning crew. Highly recommended!

Perfect Beach Vacation

My husband and I have been coming to AMI for over 25 years staying in a variety of places on the island. This was our first time so far on the North end of the AMI and it was perfect in the Starfish beach cottage--We have already booked for next year. The cottage was clean and equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Proximity to the beautiful beach was perfect enough that we could walk back and forth throughout the day as needed. The grounds were clean, beachy and comfortable. It is close to Pine Ave with restaurants, shopping, trolley stops and activities.

Seahorse Cottage was perfect and fit all our needs. Close to the beach, great pool, and the accommodations were very nice. We both would have preferred a firmer mattress on the bed but that would not stop us from visiting again. Idyllic Holiday Properties was very easy to deal with and Liane had excellent communication skills in planning for our trip. Debbie, the Property Manager in Anna Maria, was also very quick to respond to texts while we were there. All around, a great experience and a beautiful island. We will be back!

Hi Julie - Many thanks for your 5-star review. It is much appreciated. We're so glad you thought the property was great - aside from the bed comfort. We replace mattresses regularly. However, guests have different preferences so it is hard to get bed comfort just right for everyone. Many thanks for your feedback.
