Modern Cozy Beach Oasis - Fully Remolded
Welcome to Starfish, a chic, modern 1 bed / 1 bath beach bungalow just steps from the sugar-sand shores of Madeira Beach and only 1 mile from Johns Pass.
This home offers a clean, cozy, and thoughtfully updated space designed for a relaxed, easygoing beach stay. Inside, you’ll find bright white tile floors, comfortable furnishings, and a laid-back coastal feel that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your time by the water.
Starfish is an authentic Mad Beach bungalow, originally built in 1947 and recently completely remodeled, blending classic Florida character with modern comfort. The home is located in a small, quiet, tight-knit neighborhood—ideal for guests who appreciate a peaceful setting while still being close to everything Madeira Beach has to offer.
The beach is only steps away, with chair and umbrella rentals available directly out front. Several local bars, restaurants, and shops are also within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy the area without needing to drive. Back at the bungalow, cornhole boards are available for relaxed afternoons and easygoing evenings. We usually have bikes and corn hole boards in working order as well that we share with our guests. We have paddle boards in the unit next door as well that are usually available upon request.
This space is especially well-suited for: -Couples looking for a calm, comfortable beach getaway - Friends traveling together - Retirees seeking a quiet, walkable seaside stay
Our family personally manages and cares for this property—and we also use it ourselves when it’s available. We’re just a short bike ride away and always happy to help. Our goal is to create a warm, welcoming beach experience, with everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.
If you’re looking for a laid-back beach bungalow steps from the sand—quiet, comfortable, and thoughtfully cared for—Starfish is a great fit.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
