Very well appointed space. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy beach time. Close enough to enjoy spring training baseball and plenty of beach time. Kitchen has everything needed as well. Clean, comfortable perfection. Plenty of restaurants/bars close by and free rides to them with "Stumpy." But don't forget to tip for the ride....Short walk to private beach area. Loved it.

Very Clean. Well furnished. Loved the new beach towels and all the beach accessories! The only thing that could be updated at the unit was the balcony chairs and attached table. The laundry room needs a little help also.

The furniture in living room was not comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. Overall the unit was very nice. Deck was very small and no comfortable chairs. If you have a pet and want to take it to the beach I would not recommend. The easement to the beach is located on a property that has no pet signs posted and they are not friendly owners. They were very rude to us. This put a huge damper on our trip because I was looking forward to taking my small dog with us to the beach each day. We felt she was not welcome.

Great Start to 2022
We had a short, but wonderful New Year’s getaway. Starfish Stays is dog-friendly, so it was great bringing our dachshund to celebrate the New Year with us. Very short walk to a beautiful private beach, perfect for rest and relaxation. The unit was very spacious with all the necessary amenities, including beach chairs. Very nicely decorated. Located close to several fine local restaurants. Will definitely return for a longer stay!

It is in a quieter type place. It's beautiful and seems great for someone who wants a more relaxed stay without the hustle and bustle of the night life. The area isn't really suited for younger/ teenage kids as far as things to do other than go to the beach and they can't dig on the beach because there are sea turtles nesting all over it this time of year. We usually look for shark teeth at night on the beach but couldn't do it because you aren't allowed to have lights other than red and yellow which really doesn't matter because they want everyone off the beach after sunset. The apartment and area is nice overall though if you're going for relaxation.

Hard to put into words as it was wonderful from check in to check out. Unit was immaculate and had all we could need. Decor was tasteful and comfortable. Location was amazing, easy walk over to one of the most beautiful beaches I have been to in US and Caribbean. Met owner Paula,and son on site, she was terrific. Mr Clay, groundskeeper on site most days and was great to talk to and helpful with anything you may need. Other guests at rental property and on mostly private beach were so incredibly friendly. Can't wait to return!! Exceeded my expectations!! Thank you for sharing!!

Incredible location + all beach amenities
We loved our stay at this cute beach bungalow. The inside has modern furnishings and was spacious for our family of four. We loved the inclusion of beach chairs and umbrellas and the very easy 2 minute walk to a stunning uncrowded beach.
It's location to nearby restaurants was also wonderful. A restful family vacation experience.
Communication was also excellent!
