Sea Stars was an awesome place to stay. The views are amazing! This home had everything that we could need and the location is great.We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins and the waves. Walking on the beach, searching for seashells each day was so relaxing.Brandi was wonderful at keeping us informed of all the details for the house. We would happily stay here again and again!

Beautiful home with great amenities. The downstairs outdoor living area is perfect for our young grandsons, who loved the sand and swings. The bedrooms were perfect and the kitchen was amazing.

Family Celebration

Property accommodated our four families comfortably, and kept the children occupied both indoors and outdoors. The location was off the main areas of the local city enough for traffic, but close enough for as needed supply runs. Will consider returning again in the future when the opportunity presents itself.

First Girls Cousin trip

We had the best time reminiscing about growing up together and making new memories. Loved the location and being on the beach. Hunted for shells everyday and enjoyed the long walks. The home was so comfortable for all 9 of us. Enjoyed our dinners and playing cards in the evenings. Everything was amazing!!!
