So Much More

Our weekend beach stay at Pina Colada was beyond delightful. A beautifully set table and more beds than we expected greeted us. The beach chairs and umbrella were not mentioned, but very much appreciated. Seeing all the people on the beach for the sunset was all you need to know about the community. Definitely will visit again.

A fabulous trip!

This is the second time my friends and I have stayed in these properties, and it does not disappoint! Right across the street from the beach, and with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Super comfy beds, and plenty of privacy. When I had a question about parking, it was answered very quickly (and was already answered if I would have read my welcoming email better!). My friend group is already making plans to come here again!

About the host

Hosted by Amy

Host profile image
My husband Frank's and my favorite memories growing up are of family vacations to Florida's spectacular beaches to visit grandparents. Ironically, we first met each other on one such Florida vacation visiting relatives after college - introduced by grandparents. Frank grew up with fun-filled, memorable annual trips to Manasota Key. I knew how much he loved it so we spent years searching for the perfect location on the key so our kids and guests could be close to our great beach and so much to do. It is also the perfect spot to just kick back and do nothing but watch the waves roll in. We designed the cottages of blue starfish beach resort to offer guests everything our own family would want in a beach escape and then some. We treat our guests like family and are proud to say we have numerous repeat guests to make blue starfish an annual tradition.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, LOCATION! Not to mention all new furnishings & updated interior done by our very talented interior designer with numerous FREE amenities!
Steps to stunning beach, serene Lemon Bay, magical Stump Pass State Beach Park & walkable to fun nightlife at Sandbar restaurant and tiki bar & the extremely popular free yoga classes on the beach. In searching for this property, we noticed a number of area beaches 'disappeared in high tide' so we were thrilled to find a prime spot on the key with plentiful sand at all times that never gets crowded because only vacationers & residents can park here. We also love that our beach is one of the best places on earth to find the pre-historic sharks teeth the area is famous for! The ultimate free souvenir!! Our kids have found tons of these thousand year old treasures.

What makes this property unique

Our talented interior designer has worked her magic to create super cute beach cottages mixing nostalgic touches with modern conveniences and a relaxed island vibe just steps to the captivating waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As owners, we are obsessed with constantly improving the vacation experience. We are lucky to enjoy a steady stream of low-key, friendly guests who share our love for this best kept secret in vacation destinations. blue starfish resort is sure to please all ages & take us back to a simpler time of hunting for pre-historic sharks teeth, pretty seashells and jumping waves then returning to our appealing beach cottage with all the comforts of home. We are fortunate to be neighbors of the #1 ranked local attraction - Stump Pass State Beach Park & its acres of unspoiled, pristine shoreline & hiking trails. As parents, we know how important it is to offer kid fun features - beach toy sets to build amazing sand castles, outdoor Ping-Pong onsite for fun after beach time plus books, board games & all free premium channels on our new high definition flatscreen TVs. Adults can enjoy tropical cocktails at our self-serve & casual meals at our alfresco dining tables. * Attractive new heated, courtyard swimming pool with massage therapy jets & stunning glass-tile waterfall in common patio area - enjoy! Lots of relaxing seating options for each place.
Try blue starfish once and we think you'll be back for many more years for another dose of our unique island charm & warm hospitality.
