About this house rental

Starfish Cottage is a small retreat full of peace and beauty. It boasts a new roof and has been painted inside and out. You will stay comfortable with a new ac/heat pump, and 4 ceiling fans. Light pours in from the many windows, and new lighting was added in the kitchen, making the whole home cheerful and airy. You’ll immediately notice the new, gorgeous flooring, as well as coastal-inspired decor throughout.
Starfish Cottage boasts a new Bosch dishwasher, new refrigerator, and top of the line washer and dryer for your use. The master bedroom has a 4-poster queen-sized bed, the 2nd bedroom has 2 Pottery Barn twin beds. If you need it, you are welcome to also use the twin sized air mattress which is stored in the bedroom closet.
There is an outdoor shower for a quick rinse when you return from a day on your beach! The back yard is private and fenced and has an umbrella table with chairs and a grill. You can walk to Alfie’s in the mornings for breakfast before using our beach chairs, beach towels, bike and body boards. There are sand toys for the little ones. On rainy days we have games, cards, wi-fi, movies.

100 yds away is a new fishing dock and kayak launch.

Starfish Cottage allows a well-behaved pet for a fee, but we do require that you keep your pet off of the beds and furniture, please. When you are away and your pet is staying home, please keep your dog in a crate or kennel.

We have a new TV, but do not offer cable. However, we have Apple TV and a new blu-ray player! We have a selection of movies or you can bring some of your own. You are free to use your Apple ID to watch unlimited content! And you can use the Sling app to watch many top channels. We also have wi-fi for your enjoyment.

If you need anything for your baby or toddler and would rather not bring it with you, BabyQuip can help!

Quiet neighborhood/great location
We enjoyed our stay. The owner responded very quickly to anything we needed. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach, where there is a nice public access with restrooms,lifeguard, etc. We enjoyed the outdoor shower when we got home each day to try to keep some of the sand outdoors. There is also a dock overlooking the river just a minute in the other direction from the house also. So you can see a sunset or sunrise pretty easily :) The neighborhood is quiet and felt safe. Only one night did we hear someone up partying. The owner has done a good job finding pieces that include some storage possibilities for longer stays (there's no dresser in the twin bedroom, but is a regular sized closet, my kids put their clothes in the entertainment center drawers). It would have been nice to know that we could not let our dog out into the backyard from the house (had to go out through the carport), but I hear a new door is being installed in the master so that will be nice for future renters. The kitchen mostly had everything we needed for cooking during our stay. We appreciated the body boards, beach chairs, and sand toys also. Thanks for a nice stay!

Great Little Cottage
Great Little Cottage
My husband and I stayed at Starfish Cottage for 6 weeks this past Feb/March. The house was very comfortable, including the Q bed and living room furniture. Lee provided plenty of toiletries, e.g. paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. We cooked most of the time and found whatever we needed. There were plenty of bath towels and beach towels plus beach chairs and all kinds of gear you’d want for a day at the beach. We were impressed with so much that was provided! The cottage sits on a long street of similar bungalows, some cute and others really needing fixing up on the outside. We found the neighbors to be very friendly and felt completely safe. 10 minute walk to the beach; 3 minute walk to Halifax river where we enjoyed the sunsets!! We often sat in the back yard with our dog and enjoyed dinners of freshly grilled seafood or burgers. We definitely recommend this place! Lee was so accommodating and responsive to whatever requests/issues we brought up. Thank you for a wonderful stay! (We loved the SmartLock! No need for a key!!)

If I could I would give the location 10 stars! You have water access at either end of this little street! Intercoastal waterway with a brand new fishing dock at one end and a sweet little public park and beach access to the Atlantic on the other end! You can actually hear the waves crashing on the beach from the front yard! It's close to a publix grocery store and numerous resturants (Salty Farms seafood market being the absolute best place for fresh seafood!!) Lee was very responsive and kept in touch in case I needed anything I probably won't be able to book it again because it will be too popular!! I was sad to leave!

We were please to see how close the Cottage was close to the Atlantic Ocean and on the west side to the Halifax River. Saw many spectacular sun set sipping my Prosecco. The cottage was pleasantly decorated and comfortable., the back yard had a shower with h & c water, no sand in the house.! Quiet neighborhood . important shop all around Publix. Dollar tree, Bealls outlet, a variety of other small establishment , St Brendan Church , Presbyterian etc.. Last but not least the gorgeous Atlantic sea with clean sand no smelly sea weeds, lots of shells. Dogs are welcomed on their special beach down the road in Flagler, close by there is a dog patch with lots of room to run. We had a good time touring around, St Augustine , Ponce outlet lighthouse, with 203 steps (I did them)! We would go back to Starfish again without hesitation . Liliana G

Adorable little home
Adorable little home
This was the best place we've stayed at in Ormond. The house is beautiful inside very well kept. Every thing is new and clean. I'm jealous of the washer and dryer lol they are much better than mine at home. We didn't cook at home so I cant say to much about the kitchen appliances but I know they had several conveniences if you wanted to cook. We do hope to come back next year. Also, the owners are great they kept in touch with us from reservation to the day before we left, then checked on us when we got there to see if we needed anything. We will highly recommend this place to everyone.

Not fancy from the outside but adorable on the inside!!!
Not fancy from the outside but adorable on the inside!!!
When we first drove down the street we were concerned because this street is lined with little beach bungalows in various states of repair. Some are very neglected, but many are refurbished and clearly on the road to vacation heaven. When we pulled up to Starfish Cottage we noticed how neat and well kept the outside was and started to feel relieved. When we got inside we were delighted!!!! Totally redone, neat, and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook (if you wanted to), with a working ice maker and plenty of paper produces for your use. The main bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed in the back of the house and the other bedroom was small with two small twin beds.(okay for kids, but not sure about full size adults). Bathroom was clean and shower was great. There is a washer and dryer with a drying rack nearby. We liked the location since we were visiting people up and down the coast - 50 min to St. Augustine or south to New Smyrna Beach, and the public beach was at the end of the street (free parking with bathrooms). Our only issue was the TV. As Baby Boomers and being non-techno, we were unfamiliar with Apple TV. There is no cable. But after contacting the owner for help, they came over, added Sling to the menu, with the shows we watched and that solved the problem. The owners were very accommodating and anxious to help get us settled and comfortable. We would definitely rent this little place again!

This is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Starfish cottage is a great place to stay. It is laid out and decorated well. The neighborhood is quiet and the folks in the area were all friendly. We enjoyed the quietness of Ormond by the Sea with Ormond Beach and Daytona just a few minutes drive away. The house offered plenty of space for our 2 year old to play and be active in. The privately fenced backyard is good to play in also. Another nice feature is the outdoor shower in the backyard which is enclosed and private and great for cleaning up from the beach. The walk to the beach is easy as well as the beach access. There is a lifeguard on duty through the day. Lee and Deb we're very gracious and checked in with us throughout our stay. Thanks for a great vacation.
