Our stay was very comfortable. The unit is very well organized and very clean with all required utensils in place. Location is excellent as well. The best part - ability to see warter from deck and we enjoyed early morning sunrise by walking to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful house, great location. Enjoyed watching the ships go by. We fished, boogie boarded, and swam. There were 3 generations of us. The house was perfect with 3 bathrooms. We really enjoyed the deck watching the night sky as well. Wonderful memories of a great holiday!

Really enjoyed our stay at The Blue Sea Star! You really can’t beat the location and proximity to jetty, playground and beach. Travelled with two littles and could walk / wagon easily. A few minor suggestions to truly be a perfect/exceptional stay. Would recommend this property for families.

Great location, Amazing views

Firstly the host was very responsive, which really made arrival and check out and everything in between stress free. House was clean with games and more. Ample relaxing places in and out. The views of the passing boats on the Getty, were breathtaking and so peaceful from the wrap around patio. Access to the beach just steps away. We really enjoyed our stay! Just what we needed!

Perfect Layout and Location

We stayed at the Blue Sea Star to celebrate my son’s birthday. It was the perfect set up for our group. So spacious, clean, and decorated so well! The location was perfect - only steps away from the beach and the jetty. It was quiet and peaceful. Most of all I appreciate Tam’s excellent communication and hospitality. We live in Magnolia and happened to lose power the day we were leaving to be at the beach. Tam set us up early to make sure we had somewhere to go with power and AC. I would highly recommend the Blue Sea Star!

About the host

Hosted by Tam Nguyen

Host profile image
I'm an avid traveler and love exploring new places, cultures, and food! I love waking up super early and walking through the city, hiking for awesome views, and discovering hidden gems that may be defined as "sketchy". I enjoy cooking and experimenting with different food and forcing my family and friends to be the judge. I eat extremely spicy food and am not afraid to try some really farfetched dishes.
