We had a great stay at The Sea Star! The house was immaculate, communication to check in/ out was precise, and the location can’t be beat! The property was exactly as described with a well stocked kitchen and a large dining/living area. The “Welcome” snack basket was a nice touch. Our favorite spot was the deck area! Plenty of seating with quality outdoor furniture. This is a well thought out house plan with plenty of room for 10-12 people. On site parking was spacious. We had a great stay and will definitely be adding this property to our “favorites” list!
We loved our little place, it was just perfect for our family, will 100% return

This rental was great. We loved the single floor layout, lots of room for everyone in common areas, great kids room, wonderful deck that was partially covered with lots of seating. Perfectly clean and well maintained. Communication with the host was amazing.

Great house for extended family vacation! We had six adults and three kids and there was plenty of room everywhere. The house was clean and well kept. The bunkroom was perfect for the kids. The large patio and beach access are top notch.
Very nice house, it looked newly renovated. The house was clean and beds were comfy. It’s in a good location. Beach access was perfect!! The booking was easy. They kept in touch during our stay to make sure everything was satisfactory. Our entire experience was great!!
It was as close to perfect as you can get!!! Beautiful house, gorgeous view! Everything was so clean. There were 6 adults and 5 kids. We all slept comfortably. Everyone enjoyed every day and didn’t want to leave, especially our 6 year old. She wanted to live there. Thank you for making our vacation one to remember!
The house was very nice. Great location. The bed frame on one of the beds broke during the night, we informed the property manager the next morning, and they had someone there within an hour to correct it. I would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful -amazing
Haven’t stopped dreaming about it since we left

The property was exactly as described in the listing. We had good communication with the property management, as to check in, etc. We have stayed in many properties, this property was spotless! Everything was super clean and well maintained. The deck and deck furniture was comfortable and so many seating choices. Wonderful restaurants close by.
My wife and I stayed here with our 11-month-old son for a week. The house was in a great location. It was the perfect distance from the crowds, but still close to all the shopping and food options. The home was completely updated and felt like a high-end private home. Everything was extremely cozy and clean. We could not have asked for anything better.
This was a great week. The Sea Star should be the Shining Star. It was clean, cute, and current! The house was well stocked with great kitchen utensils and full appliances that worked well for us. We will be back!
