Great property. Beautiful backyard to relax in. A quick walk to the beach. Pots and pans could use an updating. Hand rails in master suite showers would help for elderly. We brought our own but they didnt work on the tile. Lights would be great by all of the games so you could play at night. Otherwise this property was amazing and management responded quick. I highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful week at Starfish Cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We did have an issue with the air conditioner being broken, but the management company was very attentive in getting it repaired and re-cleaning after the installation. We loved being so close to the beach!

We loved our stay at the Starfish Cottage! It was located so close to the beach. It was pet friendly, and we had such a great time playing lawn games with our kiddos. It’s walking distance to shopping and restaurants, and a close drive to the grocery store and pharmacy. We hope to definitely come back!

Great location. LOVED the yard. The toys were super fun. It was great to have chairs and a wagon to bring to the beach. Great Parking. The ice maker stopped working on the first day, and the refrigerator on the last. I called management the day we left. I was too busy having fun to call. My suggestion would be to replace the pots, pans, bowls, and kitchen stuff if you stay for a week.

The house was amazing and fit our family very well. There are a few maintenance items that need to be tended to. One of the bedroom doors didn’t latch when closed. AC can only be set to 68 which gets hot in the front bedroom. TV remotes didn’t work for every room. Beside these minor issues everything was a great and location was perfect.

Great location and property

Property was exactly as described and very nice, plenty of room for our party of 7! The pool was a plus after all day on the beach, speaking of the beach, access was just a short walk away, as described. I highly recommend Starfish Cottage!
