Perfection

This property is exactly what you see! Minute walk to the perfect white sand beach and easy enough to come right back when then toddlers aren’t having it! Having beach access right across the street made it not as big of a headache when kids aren’t cooperating. Correspondence with property manager was very quick and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!!

5 year family reunion

House was fabulous & plenty of room for all 20 of us. Pool amazing, short hop to beach. Well insulated, no street noise inside & quiet between floors. Kitchen layout great. We loved it!!There is a disconnect between VRBO & property owners about what to do with trash cans. Sign on frig is wrong & those on cans are right. I’ve heard that no matter how hard you try a couple of big black insects get inside- only first floor laundry room area but teenagers reacted as you would expect. Maintenance arrived quickly to fix a condensation leak from 2nd floor to first floor bathroom.

Excellent home to stay in

The house, amenities, and location were perfect. Everything was exactly as described and we had an incredible time. Do know, though, that if staying for a prolonged period (more than 3 days) you will need to provide yourself with additional paper towels, dishwasher/laundry detergent, etc as you only get one of each at check-in. Also don't forget to bring your beach towels as none are provided!

spring break

great location and house! right across from beach entrance, lots of bedrooms, lots of kitchen seating at the two oversized tables for big dinners and card games! suggestion: add a hot tub!!!! and maybe a few bikes to the property to use. The wagons for the beach were useful, as well. Needs a few minor repairs to some blinds and kitchen fridge drawers...but most definitely not anything major. beds were super comfortable, and showers very nice!!

Top notch place

Location is great; ocean views from two angles, 90 degrees even though across the street from beach. Linens, beds, cleanliness, kitchenware, beach chairs/cart, BBQ grill, heated BIG pool (5ft deep in middle, FYI) and lots of other things - TOP notch. We didn’t use half the bedrooms. WiFi strong inside home for work / Zoom needs. And the experience with the rental group - communication, help, quick responses - great.

Amazing!!

We took a trip with 20 women. The house was plenty big for all of us. Beds, Bathrooms were great. This house was stalked really good for large groups. I would suggest bringing white noise with you. the house has a ton of tile and it just seems loud for those sleeping and others are still up. They had use of some beach chairs and wagon in garage. Everything was really great. Beautiful location so close to beach.

Wonderful family vacation

Our family loved the house, especially the pool. The big kitchen with the large appliances made cooking for our family of 12 much easier. The two large dining tables provided plenty of room for the family to eat together or play games at night. The location is less than a 5-minute walk to the beach entrance making it easy to go back and forth from the house. It was easy to get to restaurants and stores on Scenic 98 with a golf cart. Highly recommend Captain Dave's for a great seafood dinner with the family. I was worried about the reviews I read about the traffic on Scenic 98 ruining the front balcony. We spent quite a bit of time on the balcony, especially in the mornings and at night, and did not notice the traffic so that it kept us from enjoying the time out there. There are a few simple things that wouldn't cost much that would make the house a little more convenient. There's nowhere to hang your towels for any of the showers. Nor is there anywhere to put your soap and shampoo in the showers except on the floor. The most basic things like salt and pepper, hand soap in the kitchen, kitchen garbage bags, etc. are not provided. A couple of heads up: 1) No rafts or beach toys are provided. They have a policy that if you buy some at a local store and leave it behind, they'll charge you a "haul away" fee. This means you either must take them home in your luggage or throw them away at the end of your stay. 2) There is no access to the lake behind the house.

Beautiful location, perfect for large groups

We had a fantastic time at the Seastar. Group of 13 Adults joint together for a 50th birthday party from all over the US. Pretty much, everyone had their own private room. We had three handicap people and the elevator was perfect. Also was great for the day. The private chef came in to cook for us. The kitchen was plenty large enough, so none of us were running into each other. Please note bring coffee grounds, we ended up buying a Keurig. But the all stores are right around the corner, including a Whole Foods. Beautiful views from all of the balconies. Highly recommend. There is a small update to the views lol, they have built the house across the street. But it loses you nothing. You can see the ocean out of every window.

Beautiful, clean property with an excellent location ! Super easy to communicate with property owners. We loved our stay! The size/set up of the house allows for plenty of space to congregate yet also have personal space if needed. Only thing I would mention is to bring extra blankets and beach towels if you can !!!
