Very nice place

We really enjoyed our stay. Great location, Sea Star is one of the best rental options for families. Well furnished, a good amount of space, lots of kitchen gear and entertainment. Only gripes: not easy to get 8 people around the table, and we had a bunch of cockroaches in the lowest floor a few of the days. Otherwise highly recommended.

Thanks for letting us know! Those bugs tend to come in after a bad rain, and we've had a lot of storms this season. We will review our pest control contract for next season!

Wow! Loved It!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful place at the beach! We couldn't have asked for a nicer, cleaner condo. As soon as we walked inside, we were so impressed with everything. Thanks for making us feel like we were home away from home. The beach was so beautiful and the location was just perfect! Thanks again!

Awesome Beach Vacation

We arrived the first weekend in October and I have got to say this place was amazing. It was within a minutes walk to the beach. Traveling with teenagers can sometimes be a challenge but this beach house allowed for us to enjoy some quiet time alone while the teenagers walk on the beach, played downstairs on the foosball table, and rode the double seater bike. The kids also enjoyed the beach shops which are right up the road. The house was clean and well decorated! We are planning on staying again next year, hopefully July 4th Weekend if it is available!!

Fantastic Beach Home

We had a lovely and comfortable week-long stay at the Beach House. The house looks just like it is depicted in the pictures. It was very tidy and clean! We also appreciated the extras (lots of bath towels, extra beach chairs, umbrella) that were offered along with a fully stocked kitchen. The beach was just a quick easy 2min walk and everything we wanted to do was a short driving distance from the house. The best part was the awesome deck furniture incl dining table with chairs for 6 - great for game night, plus extra chairs for reading and relaxing. Can't wait to come back!

So Close to Beach

This house fit our 4 families well. The kitchen is nice a big for everyone and plenty of seating. The beds were very comfortable. Loved how close it was to the pool and the beach. The pool was very clean and though shared, never very busy. The beach was such a short walk and plenty of room. However it does not have lifeguards. The property was very clean, aside from the first flight of highly used stairs. The washer and dryer were also able to keep up with all of us. The biggest downside was the intermittent internet, which is probably more of an island problem than a house problem. The owners were extremely responsive as well.

A nice peaceful week at Surf city

Very nice place, comfy beds & towels, dishes etc. galore. Our only problem was the internet kept going out but spectrum was there to fix it (new modem) early Fri am after reporting issue to owners Thursday afternoon. Pool was great and beach close enough to enjoy as well. We were pleased and would revisit one day.

Nice place

Everything was very nice. Easy walk to the beach. Pool hours are a little restricted. 7:30 in the summer seems a bit early to close pool. All in all, a good experience.

Excellent!

This vacation rental & location is everything that we are looking for as a family with 4 children under 5. The area is very noncommercial with a restaurant (Surf City Line) and a couple of bars across the street (Hulas & 10th Street Bar & Grill). The bars both serve food, but they are very 'pool hall' type places. We ordered food from all 3 and it was very good. The layout of the rental is 3 floors. The bottom floor is a game room with TV and plenty of space to leave coolers, beach bags, etc. for the next day. It is convenient not to have to drag everything upstairs. The second floor is the kitchen, living area, master bedroom/bath and guest bath. The top floor has the bedroom with the 2 queen beds & bath, plus a hall bath, and 2 additional rooms with the bunk beds. Plenty of linens are provided (even beach towels). There are multiple balconies that are furnished with plenty of seating and tables. The rental is completely furnished with everything you could imagine down to board games! I brought my own griddle but there was even one of those & a crock pot. The only thing lacking is an outdoor grill. We brought our own. The pool is conveniently located. It is a bit small but honestly the cleanest I've ever encountered. We used it before lunch and had it mostly to ourselves. The access to the beach is just across the road. The beach was not too crowded even in July. This area allows alcohol on the beach but NO GLASS (& they are serious about that no glass thing!) Canopies are allowed also but must be removed at night. The only thing we would recommend is an additional fridge or beverage cooler. We kept a large cooler with ice on the bottom level for drinks as there was not enough fridge space for a week of groceries for 10 people plus all the drinks for the beach each day. However, we like to keep A LOT of drinks on hand!!! If you are handicapped or have physical limitations that prevent you from walking up 2 flights of stairs multiple times a day, this might not be the place for you. We appreciated that the stairs were carpeted and designed such that we were less worried about the little ones tumbling down. We didn’t even use baby gates. We loved this place and would definitely stay again!

Relaxation

I was pleased with the location and size of the property. The interior was well accommodating, however cleanliness could have been somewhat better. Although I do believe that there was an effort to make our stay perfect. We will stay again if the owners will welcome us.

Loved our stay

It was the perfect distance to the beach. Easy for our young kids to walk to and from the beach and not complain. The house was well stocked with everyday needs (kitchen tools, cups, towels, blankets, etc). The owners were quick to respond to any questions that we had during our stay. The dining/living area was a little tight trying to fit everyone around the table but they had bar stools at the kitchen island which gave us extra space to comfortably sit. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to someone looking for a relaxing beach vacation.

Lovely retreat

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The home is spacious and comfortable. We were thankful to have lots and lots of both bath and beach towels and a powerful A/C. Two outdoor hoses and an outdoor shower to rinse sand off our big crowd of kids. There were games, puzzles, tons of DVDS for all ages, and a pack n play.

Excellent!!

We had an amazing stay at the Beach House! The townhome is just as it looks in the pictures. Adorable beach decor, plenty of linens and kitchen extras, sunset view from the living room balcony, and a foosball table for fun. My kids loved the bunk beds, and having breakfast each morning on the balcony off of the family room. The very short walk to the beach was a life saver with 3 small kids. The home is very clean, and clearly well loved. In addition, Catherine and Bryan went out of their way to accommodate us very last minute. They were always quick to respond and super helpful. We will definitely return to the Beach House!
