Starburst - $400 Off Spring/Spring Break Weeks (Sat to Sat)
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This area is so beautiful and so much less crowded than Destin and other over-built areas. And the restaurant, shopping and golfing choices are outstanding.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The small private gated community of Waters Edge provides exclusive access to a beautiful wide white sand beach. Because the Waters Edge community is small, the density of people on the beach is low.
Two of the best golf courses in Florida are practically next door. Camp Creek (a Tom Fazio course) is about 2 miles away and Shark's Tooth (a Greg Norman course) is about 5 miles away.

We just finished our one week rental at Starburst and everything was terrific! We could not have been happier with our experience and highly recommend it to anyone contemplating this area. The beach was terrific, the view phenomenal, the beds comfy. The shops and restaurants were fun. The bike trails are amazing. In one word: perfect. We of course hope to be back next year. It all depends on the economy!
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Wonderful Week 9/18 through 9/25/10

The views from both of the decks were heavenly and my family spent every evening there listening to the surf and every morning there drinking coffee and watching the sun rise over the gulf. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was more than adequate. The owner was a pleasure to do business with. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants a family get-away with lots of room for everyone in its 5 bedrooms.
