Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to:
7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels)
10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels)
The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

Starfish 2
We have started calling Starfish 2 our second home! We have stayed there for the past few years during the month of March. We love returning to a place that is comfortable, spotless , quite and safe. An easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants and access to the beach trolley is another plus. We also the enjoy the beautiful landscaped heated pool after a day at the beach. The cottage contains all you need for a month’s visit and we hope to return for many years to come.- Carol and Greg T from Lexington Kentucky , Posted: 03/23/2022

Amazing Beach Getaway
My girlfriend and I stayed at this house while down in Florida. It was perfect! The bedrooms were beautifully decorated, beds super comfortable, and most importantly it was incredibly clean. We were sad to leave as almost instantly it felt like we were at home. Can’t wait to come back and stay next time we are on the island!- Anonymous U , Posted: 05/16/2021

Perfect
Starfish was in the perfect location with a fair price. It was clean and although small in size it was adequate for our party.
