Starfish Cottage visits Anna Maria Island…

So a couple of weeks ago, the kind people of Island Realty on Anna Maria Island somehow found my blog and contacted me to see if I would be interested in visiting one of their properties called Starfish Beach Cottages on Anna Maria Island…lucky me, right?   It took me all of 2 seconds to respond…”SURE…
WHEN?!”  Not only is Anna Maria Island one of my favorites places in the whole world, and only 45 minutes from our home, but how great that they have a Starfish Cottage like me, right!?

So this past weeked, the family and I headed down for a couple of nights…what a WONDERFUL little place! We stayed in Cottage #4, which was surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, and only steps to the beach.

The 4 cottages share this amazing private swimming pool- which comes in very handy when you return from the beach all hot and sandy and sticky!

Speaking of the beach, here are a few shots I snapped…absolutely stunning!

OK, so not only was Starfish Beach Cottage totally wonderful, and the beach absolutely stunning (I could have plopped myself down with a good book and stayed the entire weekend), but Anna Maria Island is a really fun place with lots of great restaurants and shops and things to do.

Tune in tomorrow for a sampling of a few places we visited during our special trip to Anna Maria Island…
