About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Seahorse Cottage - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

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.

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!

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!

Quaint cottage, good location, could use a few updates

On the plus side, Seahorse Cottage is in a great location just steps from the beach. The size is about right for two. Arranging the visit and getting the keys was stress-free. On the "This could use improvement IMO" department, the couch is not in great shape. The cushions sag making sitting uncomfortable. The TV is too small for the room making viewing a challenge. Some new beach chairs are needed. We've been coming to AMI for 20 years. It is a pretty island with beautiful beaches. However, the island is losing its quaint cottages and old-Florida charm to large homes and excessive amounts of traffic.

Very pleasant

Nice Cottage but 3 issues. No iron available. TV was the smallest I have ever encountered at a rental property or hotel room. Front and side doors were mostly glass with a sheer fabric as a curtain. Anyone walking by could see right in. I had to drape towels over the door for privacy. Everything else was great.

beautiful beach

Really nice time, super easy walk to the beach. Walkable to a few stores, very laid back neighborhood. Not the place to go if you are looking for night life. it was perfect for us and our 5 year old. The cottage was clean and comfortable. definitely not luxurious, with a little bit of updating on appliances, sofa, and bed, cottage could be super cute. Don't want to sound like I'm downgrading the cottage because I don't mean to. We got what we expected and had a wonderful time.

Seahorse cottage AMI

The cottage is cute and very close to the beach. Walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Easy check in and out. The attached cottage, shell I believe, connecting door can be locked but you can hear neighbors is they are loud (we were lucky to only hear them on our last night). Heated pool was very nice.

Great Location

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. The proximity to the beach could not be better (considering the price). We were able to easily walk to the beach and back to the cottage for drinks, snacks, etc. Parking on the island is difficult, not having to pack up to go to the beach was the best. I would stay here again and I would recommend Seahorse cottage to others. It was also an easy walk to Pine street for shops and restaurants.
