    5 STARS
    "We had a great time at the Sandy Sea Star! This is a cute home right across from the beach access which made it so easy to come and go from the ocean. It was the perfect size for me, my husband, and our 2 dogs to enjoy a long weekend. Lisa is the best! She was so responsive and kind. We would love to come again!"
