  We just spent a wonderful week at the Lazy Starfish and it was perfect. With beautiful beaches within walking distance and so peaceful and quiet. It had eveything we needed and the deck was so relaxing in the afternoon sun. Thanks Linda for sharing your wonderful place with us, would highly recommend to anyone! Ed & Cheryl Cleveland

  We returned home this afternoon, safe and sound and totally drained. We had such a wonderful time in the cozy condo. It is a very quiet and safe area. We spent a lot of time outside on the deck because of the slight evening breeze. The Patio furniture is a very nice touch.We loved the area and the weather was perfect. We took in all the sites and lounged at the beach in the evenings and watched the moonrise. We even found time to do a little shopping and I got to do a little fishing. It was truly romantic for us and just what we needed. We were not disappointed and want to thank you for allowing us the perfect place to stay. We would recommend it to anyone that wants a quiet getaway within walking distance to the beach!

  This condo was exactly as described. It was very clean and well worth the money. We stayed a week. It was a short walk to the beach. I went walking every morning and felt like it was a very safe area. I loved the decorations in the condo. It had everything you could think of. I loved that it had ceiling fans everywhere. The places that were recommended by Linda were all execellent places to eat. I also went to the German bakery, it had the best pasteries in town. Linda was very good at communicating with me. I will return again in the future and highly recommend this condo. Good luck getting it because I'm sure it gets booked often!

  My husband and I needed a quick get away to the beach and the Lazy Starfish more than fit the bill. Let me start with the pricing. The value was exceptional, especially in comparison to hotel prices in the same area. We never had any trouble parking right next to the building where the condo is located on the second floor and very close to the pool. I must admit we only used the pool once during our 4 day stay but it was lovely, small but very nice after along day at the beach. The condo itself was lovely and perfect for my husband and I. One thing to be aware of if you are traveling with others is that there is no door to the bedroom for privacy. This was not an issue for us of course. The kitchen and bathroom were both well appointed with everything you could need and there were books and games as well. I loved the shower curtain in the bathroom with the pockets and would love to find one for home! There is a closet filled with useful items for the beach as well. As far as the area goes, the largest asset is the proximity to the beach. There is literally one complex between you and the beach. You can easily walk the block to the public beach or, if you are taking things with you, you can drive right across to the beach parking lot where there are bathrooms and showers to rinse off. Also on this beach are canopy and chair rentals (prices varied between 40-60 depending on closeness to the water). I would suggest bringing your own food if you don't want to leave the beach to eat as the local snack shack there is limited in choices and taste. The water there was lovely! This portion of the island is not as touristy so the number of restaurants is limited as compared to the other side but we enjoyed the atmosphere for our purposes. This was a lovely condo with great value and location and we highly suggest it. Linda made it easy and seems as laid back as the Lazy Starfish!

  We stayed here for 7 days on our vacation this year (first week in August). This place was wonderful for us. Linda had it decorated very cute in blues, green & tan, the colors of the ocean and beach. It is bigger than it looks with plenty of room. The bed was very comfortable and the towels were very nice as well. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen seemed to be well-equipped. The beach was very close, walking distance if you actually wanted to walk. The pool was small, but nice enough for a little swim. We will definitely be back! Loved the relaxed atmosphere of North Padre. My suggestions for food: Padre Pizzaria (soooo good get the kitchen sink), the little chicken place by there wasn't bad for a quick meal, Snoopy's & Scoopy's. Also I recommend a visit to the Padre Island National Seashore, just beautiful and full of birds! Thanks again Linda!

  The name tells it all we were "Lazy Starfish's"! The condo is everything it says it is. Very clean and well kept. The surroundings are very quite peaceful and close to the beach. Outsude deck in the evening was very nice. Star gazing was spectacular. Close to plenty of shopping and restraunts. I highly recommend this rental. I know I will be back! Thank You Linda......Kandi & Amy

  We loved staying at this hideaway. Can't beat the location. We brought our bicycles and enjoyed riding up and down the beach with beers in the afternoon at Snoopy's Bar just two blocks away. Completely peaceful. A quite complex and the unit has all the amenities we needed. Contemporary decor and all the basics provided in the kitchen. Above-average towels and linens for the bed. Loved having the outdoor patio to relax as well. We walked to the beach (all of one block) with our fake log and built a fire on the beach for midnight - yes it was cold, but the fire and champagne made for the perfect night. The Lazy Starfish was all we expected. Very satisfied and we will return. - Happy Austinites

  We had a great time, and everything we needed was provided by homeowner! It looks nicer than the pictures. I came home wanting my house to look beachy, with all the colors of the beach. I slept better here than in my own home. It was very clean and neat. I hope to get to stay there again!!

  My family stayed here Aug. 16-20 as an alternative to a hotel during my daughter's TAMUCC orientation and move in. Everything was just as described and shown in the pictures! So clean, nicely decorated, cozy and comfortable. Linda, thank you SO MUCH for making this visit easy and pleasant. We will definitely be back when it's time to visit again. **This was the easiest, 'no surprises' rental experience our family has ever had!**

  Just got finished with a quick family weekend. The condo was very clean and functional for the short stay. Linda was very easy to work with during the process. I do recommend the Padre Pizzaria, very good pizza and fast delivery. The beach was only a few minutes walk and very enjoyable.The complex was very quite except for two loud kids. Oh wait, those were mine!
