Stellar. Perfect size for two, safe road, close to quiet secluded beach access. Great hosts. We hope to come back in the cooler weather to better enjoy the outdoor spaces (fire table, porch swing etc).

Awesome place - our second time booking!

This was my second time staying at the property and loved it just as much as the first time. It's a great location, has great wifi (for remote work), is super clean, and has very convenient access to the beach. Highly recommend.

Perfect lil beach condo

We loved how close we were to the beach. It was beautiful, so nice. We loved that we weren't near the major public beaches and were more secluded. We slept great and had everything we needed in the kitchen when cooking. The owners were amazing communicating and we would love to book another trip back with our kids or pets next time!

We loved the unit, the overall property. And the location.

We were happy with everything provided inside the unit. Happy to see a full size refrigerator and a spacious bathroom. The outside area was a nice place to hang out. We were happy about the washer and dryer too! The best thing was the proximity to the beach!

Absolutely the best

My wife and I had a great stay. The room was very clean. The tv was very easy to use and had great choices. Very close to the beach with everything you need. When we got to the place the lock was easy to open they had extra ice in the freezer, sunscreen in the restroom and everything you need for the beach. We had one question about a light switch and was called in minutes to make sure everything was great. Thank you for everything. We will be back. 5 stars.

Starfish Stays

We enjoyed our 3 day stay at Starfish Stays- clean, well-appointed, quiet. Stephanie was very friendly and extremely helpful with the locking mechanism. We had great difficulty with the August Home password and locking mechanism. It wasn't until the next day did it all get sorted out. Not a good way to start our vacation. The key pad system is so much easier. A great place and location on Manasota Key.

We pride ourselves on being one of the only pet friendly properties on the key. It's true we don't have "dog activities ", that's something the owner is responsible fot.

Spacious and convenient

Apartment 2D was clean and had plenty of room for the two of us. It was only 1.5 miles from the nearest restaurants and 2 miles from the southern access bridge to Manasota Key. The kitchen was nicely equipped and had a full size fridge. It was roughly a couple-hundred-yard walk to both the gulf and bay, but access to both felt somewhat intrusive as we had to navigate property easements to get there. The outdoor shower just outside the apartment door was great! A bathroom exhaust fan would be a nice addition, and we notified the owner that the television appeared was kaput. All things considered, we would stay here again.

Nice property

The only concern I had was the use of app for door locking, especially on the inside of door. I worry this could be an issue in case of emergency, especially if phone charge is low and during night, as it may be hard to find phone. It would be easier if the inside just had a turn lock. Thank you for being so prompt to answer all my questions!
