Wonderful vacation!

We loved this cottage and it was perfect for our family. It was well stocked, extremely clean and a one minute walk to the beach. The pool was well maintained. Further, we had some damage from a storm and Vacasa was there within hours to take care of the problem.

Great Property

The property was in a great location on Ocean Isle. It was great to see and hear the waves from the balcony. The private pool was a great place to hangout during our stay. The property was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen had all of the appliances and utensils that we needed. Perfect location for a beach get away.

Perfect vacation home!

Starfish cottage has beautiful views, a great layout. It was clean and spacious - well stocked - we loved the thoughtful touches & multiple decks to see the ocean views. 4 good sized bedrooms were just what our crowd needed. We enjoyed the grill and gorgeous pool deck with sun, shade and a great outdoor shower! The dogs were safe and enjoyed being poolside too!

Home away from home!

The Starfish Cottage has become a home away from home! I have rented this house many times, and each stay gets better and better. The owners take great pride in continually making upgrades, including to flooring, painting, new bathroom fixtures, and most recently, all new kitchen appliances. The location and views can't be beat. Will be visiting again soon!

Other than Debby sending us home early we had a great stay. This house is positioned perfectly between the beach and the road. Beach access is two houses down and very easy to get too. The house is very cozy and fit 6 adults comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook dinners easily.

The house was just as described. Loved the location and ease of being near a walkway. The pool was great and enjoyed by all. The manager was prompt to respond to a problem we had. We weren’t able to get into the property until an hour or so after the check in time because it wasn’t ready. Only negative!

Great location!

This was the perfect house for our New Year’s family trip. The house was just as described. It is well stocked with everything you will need. It is located far enough away from the main town center so traffic is reduced. Being on the ocean side is nice so you can enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. Will definitely come back!!

Everything we needed

This house was perfect and well kept. It was clean and met all our needs. The pool was so nice and enjoyed by my family. It was nice to have all the pool toys and floats available. Plenty of board games, even a corn hole game and yard size connect four. We reserved for 2025 so we are all set. You will have no regrets with this beach home!

Old Guys Golf Trip

House was great and met our needs. Property is as advertised and outside area was an additional delight. The nice deck is great to hang out in the sun, but also a nice table / chairs under a roof overhang that provides shade. While we did not use the pool as the weather in April was just a tad cool for us, it looked great and another great area to enjoy. Very satisfied and would rent again as well as recommend to all needing a 4 br house w/3 bathrooms..

Wonderful stay

Beautiful property with wonderful ocean views including direct sunrise on ocean horizon. Wonderful spot for dogs as they have fence around backyard and upper deck. Garage is nice and big and pool was nice and clean. Beach chairs and toys were available. House was clean and cozy with board games and puzzles. Towards the end so less traffic and people on the beach. Beach access beside house is closed so a little walk but not bad. Overall we will go back
