Nice property

It was a great property however there was miscommunication on when a golf cart would be included. Overall I would rent this house again. It is perfect for big groups. The amount of beds and bathrooms makes it easy for big groups.

Family Get Away

The house accommodated our four children their spouses and our grand children. It was a perfect "get away". We had just suffered a loss in our family and needed some time away. The house brought us much joy in the midst of of much sorrow. Thank you to the owners of this great home for sharing it! We highly recommend it.

Perfect Home

We had a great experience with Starkey and loved our home, No Plana Cabana. The location is perfect, right in town and very close to the beach. The home is definitely ideal for large parties. There are a lot of beds/large bunkbeds. We loved having a private pool and the downstairs game room area. Starkey was very communicative and very easy to deal with. We would definitely stay again and rent another of their properties as well.

Great weekend getaway

The house is big and easily accommodated our large group. Lots of space, plenty of beds and bedding. Great location, close to the beach. We walked everywhere. Not as clean as I would have preferred; the kitchen table has a very unpleasant sticky finish. If you're staying for more than a couple of days, you'll want to bring your own basic supplies of paper towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. Overall, a great house for big gatherings.

Had a great time!

Everything was wonderful! Exceeded expectations across the board. The only reason I did 4 star on location and neighborhood is that the house next door had people outside partying till past 3 a.m. and when we got up the next morning there were people sleeping out on the front lawn on air mattresses which was a bit annoying and unexpected. I assume that is out of your control. I only mentioned it in case there are any ordinances or neighborhood rules that could be enforced. Hopefully not an ongoing problem. In any case, I am sure we will be back because we had an amazing time!

Great Place

We had a few issues upon arrival but the Manager was very prompt and helpful. We were a large group of family from all over Texas and upon arrival we all went into action disinfecting everything we would touch. Not a big surprise that the house was pretty dirty when you start cleaning like that. The worse thing was all the dog hair in the couch. I wasn't aware they allowed dogs. The kitchen needs some attention and restocking of items. The appliances I think are on their last legs as well. The oven takes forever to heat up and the cooktop has a broken knob making it hard to operate one of the main burners. That being said we loved the house!! It has a great layout and was perfect for us.
