Starfish Studio: beachfront, overlooking pool, clean, comfy w/free beach chairs

Starfish Studio is clean, quiet, comfortable, and CLOSE! Sitting directly on the beach with a superior view, we even have FREE beach chairs + umbrella for you daily (in season) so you can head to the sand without lugging loads of stuff.

This gorgeous studio is perfectly sized for 1-4 people, and the ideal location to enjoy a memory-filled trip.

But don't just take our word for it:

"This place was amazing! Not only was she the most wonderful and comprehensive host I've ever had, every single detail was spot on. I will 100% be back to PCB, and I will 100% be seeking out this gem again. The icing on the already fantastic cake was the chair service. Being able to walk out to the beach carrying just a small bag was amazing." - Cassie S., Towson, MD

The Starfish Studio faces the water and is located on the 5th floor—not too high and not too low—of a smaller, quieter, easy in/out resort. With tremendous views of the beach and the pool from our floor to ceiling window, the condo is remodeled and features two queen beds, a dining table for four, two recliners, a smart TV with HD service, a kitchen area with all you need for meals or snacks, LVP flooring and updated lighting, pots/pans, granite countertops, a gorgeous bathroom with walk in shower. A large walk-in closet accommodates clothing, shoes, and luggage with ease.

*There is a great view of the water and a screened window that opens but NO PRIVATE BALCONY. A large, communal balcony is just 3 doors down with comfy chairs to enjoy.

Primary renter must be at least 21 years old, sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking, be present for the duration of the stay, and agree to a $200 damage deposit hold (not a charge) placed on a credit/debit card that will be released after his/her uneventful stay. A $30 fee/per stay is required by the Resort to be paid upon arrival. Guaranteed parking for one car; a second is possible depending on occupancy of the resort. The maximum guests allowed in the condo is 4. No pets, ESA, or visitors allowed.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table.

Great place for our family of 4. Outside of all the hustle and bustle so it’s a lot quieter and less crowded on the beach. But close enough to drive and get dinner.

Second stay, love it

Megan is a great host. Condo is in a great location. Had a small housekeeping issue but as soon as I brought it to Megan's attention it got taken care of. Love the decor. Binder filled with helpful information is a great touch. The included beach chairs & umbrella are a great addition. Only suggestion I have is to add a couple beach towels. But overall, everything was perfect!

Great stay, bring your own umbrella!

Overall, we had a very positive experience staying at this condo. Pros: Beds we’re comfortable, great location to shops and stores, wonderful view, working elevators and luggage carts aplenty, updated decor, working stove, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, and sink, rain shower head, smart thermostat and high quality new windows, communication with owner. Cons: The handles on the barn doors to the bathroom should be switched. With such a narrow hallway, we found ourselves running into the outside handles that protruded into the walking area. We also found a few hairs on the pillows and sheets when we first went to lay down. Lastly, be aware that if it is windy (more than 11mph + winds), the beach chair company will not set up the umbrellas. My husband, who is very fair-skinned, was unable to come down and enjoy the beach with me 3 out of the 4 days during our stay. You may want to think about bringing your own umbrella/tent instead of relying on the beach service. There are also no umbrellas in the pool area.

We had an amazing time at this property. The room was beautifully and decorated perfectly with a beachy theme. We really enjoyed our stay. Super close to Pineapple Willys and an ice cream shop! Also, you can’t beat the free chairs and umbrella. Megan was awesome and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic! Cute condo, great view, excellent host

The condo was super cute and comfy! Good location. The floor to ceiling window offered an amazing view! We saw dolphins from the condo! I love that there was also a window that opens so we could literally hear the ocean from our room. Elevators were fairly quick. Game room was cute. Megan was super responsive and helpful! The binder with menus, places to visit, etc was great too. Perfect for 1 to 4 people. Only complaint, and not Megan's fault, is that the pool isn't heated so it was freezing and I thought there was a hot tub but there wasn't. But overall everything was excellent and definitely five stars. I will definitely be returning!

Picture perfect getaway!

This adorable beachfront studio is now our top choice out of the various PCB complexes we have visited. The unit is beautifully decorated with very comfortable furnishings and all amenities. The brand new flooring was gorgeous and the ocean view from the new windows just breathtaking. Being a clean fanatic I am delighted to say the unit was spotless and the building and facilities are well maintained. Super easy check in/out. Location in the area makes this perfect. Owner was exceptionally nice and made sure we knew she would be available even though our stay was brief. Nice to have such open communication just in case. We plan to return for a longer stay when weather is warmer and we can take advantage of the free beach chairs as well as the pool.

Perfect PCB place!

We had the best week staying in this condo! It was perfect for three of us. Megan was very quick to respond to my questions before booking and provided very detailed information once I had placed my reservation. The unit is updated, spotless, and very “beachy”. The owners provided us with everything we needed for the week. The building is clean and maintained and has a huge parking lot so parking was never an issue. Above all else, you just can’t beat the spectacular view of the pool and Gulf from this place. Great spot! Will definitely book again.
