How can you say the stay was perfect and communicate that to, you, the review reader. This was our second stay with Starfish Stays, it will likely become an annual visit. Its just that great. The location is incredible. The beach is right there, and beautiful. Everything you need and more is provided. Scot and Paula are tremendous. Stephanie, the on site manager, is so friendly and helpful. Look no further, you have found the best choice for your vacation.

Enjoyed the simplicity, the quiet, mostly adult, and the laid back feel -
Which for me is Old Florida --- what I love and grew up in.
I cannot wait to go back!!

Clean property, needed some exterior repair after the hurricane, but didn’t affect us.
Lots of people coming in and out for 2-3 day stays.
Lots of people with dogs, but generally not a problem

Went for a couple day getaway with my husband and our (7-13) 4 kids. This place is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and easily accommodated the 6 of us very nicely and confortably. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud of awesomeness! We got in town earlier in the day and they got it cleaned and let us check in by 230! the host here are 11/10 with their hospitality, tons of amenities provided, quickness to respond back to me and just very helpful. The beach is literally right across the road and it’s not crowded AT ALL! We had an absolute blast looking for shark teeth! Sifters were available. I think the absolute best part was the outside showers. Super awesome with kids. We will definitely stay here again!

The property is very convenient for what you pay for.
Very clean although we thought that the couches were getting old and needing replacing. Also some measuring cups for making breakfast pancakes would be useful. Overall the walk to the beach is super short and location is great. The property manager / cleaning lady was super nice and helpful . Very clean and the communal laundry area was easy to use. If you have a smaller family this is very convenient. I don’t know if we will use again only because we would want to try something with a pool or a whole house but first experience was great and price point was good.
Thanks again!

Went down with my pregnant wife, 2 year old and nana. Condo was perfect for us. Manasota key was beautiful and for not being “on the beach” access was no problem. Right across the street. Would stay here again

Our family of 4 felt completely at home in this gem of a spot in Englewood, FL. Even though I had booked Starfish Stays believing that it is next to the beach (please change the wording to more accurately reflect that the beach is a two minute walk across the street and down a block), the home’s cleanliness, decor, kitchen provisions, comfy beds, towels, beach supplies, outdoor amenities, etc, all more than made up for my initial disappointment that we were not adjacent to the beach. Scot and Paula were easy to reach and communicate with, and they promptly responded to any questions or requests. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we’re more than grateful for the time we did get at Starfish Stays. Thank you, and we hope to return.

Awesome Stay!
The entirety of the experience could not have been better. It was easy, clean, and perfect. We met Stephanie who was on site and so kind. My kids say these were the comfy-est beds they've ever slept in. The beach is right across the street and private. Only wish we booked a longer stay. Thank you so much!

My husband and I totally enjoyed our short visit to Starfish Stays 2A. The condo was very comfortable and roomy. We were able to get a great nights sleep each of the 3 nights we stayed here. We loved having beach chairs and an umbrella to use. The beach is a very short walk and was beautiful. The location is about 2 miles from the restaurants however we took advantage of Stumpy's Ride so we didn't have to worry about finding a spot to park. We would definitely look into staying here again when back in the area.
