Shore Thing - 4BR, Dog Friendly, Community Pool, Ocean Views

  • Shore Thing in Sea Star Village – Just a 1‑minute stroll or roll to the public beach access!

    Experience relaxed coastal living in this beautifully decorated 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhome in the charming Sea Star Village community. With breezy coastal décor, lovely ocean views, and four spacious decks perfect for soaking in the sea air, Shore Thing is designed for the ultimate beach getaway.

Enjoy easy access to the Sea Star Village community pool for a refreshing dip between beach sessions.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy

The property is beautiful, the location is perfect BUT the HOA’s pool rules are too restrictive. No matter a child’s age they must be with a parent or guardian or someone 21 years or older. If you sign a waiver then you can allow kids with an 18, 19 or 20 year old. BUT 12 year old son went to the pool thinking my 18 YO was on his way. 18 YO went in the condo to grab something to eat so 12 YO (who is 5’2” weighing 125 lbs in a 5ft pool) was out there for 15 minutes without an adult and they shut our pool code off. The pool hours are also only 9-8p. I won’t rent here again because of how rude and restrictive they were about the pool. If you have young kids and you need to be with them at the pool then it might be great for you, but teens - no! (my 17 year old daughter had to be with and adult at the pool)
