The unit was clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated. We loved the proximity to the beach, shopping areas, and restaurants. Went everywhere in a golf cart! The basket of extra beach towels was much appreciated!

The Tipsy Starfish is a family favorite! It's perfect for our annual family vacation... everyone gets their own rooms/ bathrooms. It's convenient to the beach, and we love the poo. It's clean, and the hosts are super friendly and accommodating.

So glad the layout worked well for a bigger group — that's what this one does best. Easy access plus a short walk to both the pool and the beach makes for a pretty effortless trip. We'd love to welcome you back next time.

We enjoyed our stay, all the kids had a blast. House rental was excellent, clean and had everything we needed to cook and have fun. Booking was easy and I had no issues. The only gripe was the excess fees, I paid almost the equal amount of fees as I paid for the rental. I guess it’s part of renting a place by the coast. Also check in time was 4pm and check out was 10am, so basically we rented the place for a day and a half. Why not have the check in time same as check out. Give us the whole 2 nights, 48hrs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad to hear the kids had a blast and that the home gave you everything you needed for a fun, well-equipped stay — especially in the kitchen. It's also great to know the booking process felt smooth on your end. We appreciate your candid notes about the fees and the check-in/check-out windows. The timing does allow our housekeeping team the hours needed to thoroughly prepare the home for the next guests, but we understand the desire for more time on the property, and we'll share your feedback with our team. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back again soon!
