The Starfish Cottage is a great vacation rental! It is in an ideal location with everything you need within walking distance. The beach is only two blocks away. My communication with the Starfish Cottage owner was exceptional. They were very helpful and gracious. We have stayed at the Starfish Cottage two summers and hopefully will return next year as well. I highly recommend it.

The Starfish cottage is so cute. The location is one block from beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. This has to be one of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented. The street is rather busy as it is a straight shot to a public beach access but it did not disrupt our stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee on front porch and watching people. The half front door was unique as the weather was perfect for open windows. We appreciated Holly’s communication and generosity. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.
