Oceanfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room
When it comes to a vacation filled with luxurious amenities that rival any five-star resort, the sky's the limit at spectacular SHOOTING STAR. This shining sandcastle features four levels of indulgent vacation fun, beginning in the outdoor pool area, ideal for family parties that entertain well into the evening.
With a sparkling private pool with inset kiddie pool and built-in swim-up bar, convenient cabana half bath, and neighboring Tiki bar for refreshments, everyone will want to spend lazy afternoons by the poolside. The first level invites you to take a night off from star gazing, and enjoy some family time in the game room with pool table, foosball, TV/DVD, and wet bar with microwave and combo ice machine/side-by-side refrigerator. Head down the hall and spend an evening in front of the big screen in the theater room with projection screen TV and stadium style seating. There are three bedrooms on this level, 1 king master and 2 bedrooms that share a full bath (king room and bunk room). All the bedrooms in this home are outfitted with TV/DVDs. On the second level, you can serve cocktails in the den with wet bar and mini-fridge, or simply enjoy sweet dreams in your choice of 4 master bedrooms (3 king, 1 queen).
Head upstairs and enjoy luminous ocean views from the expansive great room with gas log fireplace, comfy seating area and home theater system with surround sound. The neighboring dining area provides an exceptional oceanfront dinner setting, and stepping up to the sunroom offers the perfect venue for dining with the sea and stars in the background. There's also a convenient half bath on this level, as well as a grandiose master suite with private sitting area, tile shower, and whirlpool tub. The gourmet kitchen features dual ovens, 5-burner cooktop, 2 dishwashers and wine cooler. The fourth level loft offers a top-of-the-world vantage point to find the constellations, or you can simply sit and relax with a good book on any of the furnished oceanfront sundecks.
From first level entertaining to top level panoramic ocean views, the stylish touches, and modern amenities you’ll find around every corner of SHOOTING STAR, a hallmark of a premier SAGA construction home. With brilliant ocean views, and amenities custom fit for the VIPs in your family, you'll want to follow your dream vacation aspirations to SHOOTING STAR.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 8.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 8 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

Beautiful house but disappointing functionality
The house was beautiful but many issues. The pool heater wasn’t working when we arrived, the main fridge was broken and then started leaking water all inside on everything, the microwave didn’t work intermittently, the back stairs down from 4th floor shook and were unsafe, the propane grill hose was broken and unsafe. We had no toaster or broom and had to go into the office to request these items. Loved the area and beach but will not rent with Surf or sound again.

Amazing house, not as close to ocean as expected.
The house is amazing! Beautiful amenities, everything was very clean! There was plenty of space for everyone. We had 19 people and it never felt crowded!
We only wished it was a little closer to the beach. We couldn’t see the beach from the house because of the dunes. With small children it was a bit of a hike to the water.
I suppose it was the time of year that we went, but the rip current was very strong. There were warnings every day. Just FYI to vacationers who might want to go in the water to swim or boogy-board.
But honestly, those are the only complaints anyone had. We had a great time and loved the house!

House was nice but realtor unresponsive regarding maintenance issues
On Sunday, 7/23/17, the refrigerator in the kitchen was not staying cold, refrigerator temperature vacillating 35-45, freezer 0-17, even when not opened for long period of time. The outside toilet was not flushing. I called Surf or Sound Realty Maintenance on Monday, 7/24/17 to report these items. I was disconnected the first time I called. When I connected with Maintenance, I was told a work order was being placed and someone from Maintenance would come to the house. I called again on Tuesday, 7/25/17 since no one came on Monday. I was told they could see the work order and that “Mike” would come out on Tuesday. I called again on Wednesday, 7/26/17 and was disconnected on my first call. On my second attempt, the phone rang and rang. Finally, it was answered by Laken (sales?) with whom I had to re-state issues even though I told her a work order existed. I relayed my frustration in obtaining a resolution to the refrigerator and outside toilet issues. I stated that there also were other routine maintenance issues that should have been addressed prior to our arrival but my main concern was the refrigerator because we had food in both the refrigerator and freezer which I did not want to go bad. She told me she would try to get Maintenance and put me on hold. When she returned, she said Patty (?) was getting in touch with Mike and he would come out Wednesday. Mike did come Wednesday afternoon. He said the refrigerator/freezer air vents at the top of this appliance were clogged; he cleaned them and replaced a filter. When I asked him about the outside toilet, he replied “I’m the appliance guy” and that he would let the office know about the outside toilet. Needless to say, that issue was never addressed during our stay.
Thursday, 7/27/17, was the major power failure. Friday, 7/28/17, men arrived during the day and said they were checking to make sure the air conditioning, pool and hot tub were turned off. Imagine our surprise as it got dark (generators were supplying electricity) when we found that those men had actually turned off power to ½ of the house. I called the 800 number and since the office was closed I called the emergency night number. I spoke with Claudia, explained the situation, gave her my cell phone number and she said “I will send a message and someone will call you back”. I have never received a telephone call from anyone connected with Surf or Sound Realty regarding this.

The house was very comfortable for everyone's needs
The house was so spacious, and accommodating. Only had a few issues... one bed was broken, the maids left off some sheets, it took 2 days to get back. The washing machine broke, and the bulb in the theater room broke half way they never came to fix it:
But the view was breath taking, and the pool and hot tub was very relaxing.
