We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were spacious and clean, nicely furnished and comfortable. The view off the deck was unobstructed with a beautiful ocean view. There was direct beach access off the deck as well, which was very convenient. Highly recommend and would stay again.

This property was perfect for our stay. The bed was comfy, the ocean view from the deck was excellent and the shower was great. I especially appreciated the Kuerig coffee pot. My only concern, being an older person that is used to cable television, is it possible to have written directions as to how the TVs work? Not a big problem as we were out most of the day, but morning news is a must for us and a late night show is nice as well. We were down for the OBX car show so this location was perfect and close to everything. Dinner at Millers on the Waterfront was excellent. I hope we are able to comeback next year and maybe stay a little longer.

This is a jewel of a place to stay in KDH. As others have said, it’s quite a climb but the view and location make it worthwhile. Starfish Wishes is very clean and comfortable. The entire location was quiet and we quite enjoyed our stay. Would definitely consider this condo again when we visit.
