Awesome Place

We had an Absolutely Amazing stay. The property was very well taken care of and had everything we needed.

Beautiful, well maintained and clean!

The Starfish Shack was perfect! It was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool, the walk to the beach was easy and short, and we were in a nice neighborhood. The house had everything we needed and the beach supplies were great! We've stayed in other nice houses but the beach equipment was cheap or broken. The wagon was newer and the beach chairs were very nice! We would stay here again in the future for sure! The house is small but it didn't feel cramped. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 small children. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing location !

Großartige Umgebung zu entspannen. Tolle, brandneue Duplexeinheit mit eigenem Pool und Garage. Super Ausstattung. Praktisch alles vorhanden, auch Badehandhandtücher! Nach 38 Jahren Erfahrungen mit Florida Urlauben war es das schönste Fleckchen Erde in Florida was wir kennen gelernt haben.
