About this apartment rental

Welcome to Starfish Stays. Our little piece of paradise is located about 5 mins to a pristine private beach on the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This totally renovated Key West inspired studio is setting the standard on Manasota Key as one of eight units at Starfish Stays on the unique Manasota Key of Southwest Florida.

Starfish stays is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach for gorgeous morning walks, shell and shark teeth collecting, swimming, sitting under an umbrella, basking in the sun or watching the most beautiful sunsets of the Gulf. Plenty of complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels in the unit. Two custom built outdoor showers hit the spot to rinse away the sand and salt. We make it easy for you to relax and enjoy your vacation.

The grounds of Starfish feature a beautiful pergola complete with gas fire pit, bbq, cornhole games and seating for eight! This apartment also has an outside deck with seating.

The fantastic Stump Pass is 3 miles south of the property. Here you can fish, hike the nature trails, launch a boat or kayak or just relax on the secluded beach. Stump Pass is an excellent location for finding shark teeth. Parking is only $3 per day.

Blind Pass is one mile north on the key. There are nature trails, docks for fishing, kayak launches, and playground and picnic areas. There are public restrooms and outdoor showers as well as more beautiful beaches. Parking is free here and abundant.

The unit I stayed in, was perfect in every way for me. I needed a time out, for a few days, in a beautiful setting, and my expectations, were met. The location, is perfect, I felt very comfortable, ordering food, or driving to pick something up. Everything, from the beach, shops, food, etc, is nearby. Noise was non-existent, neighbors seemed friendly. The unit was very up to date, and clean. I made use of the laundry unit provided, and couldn't find anything, that wasn't as described. I found everything about the place, relaxing and just what I needed. I would gladly go back! Thank you!

Starfish 2C is my idea of the perfect place at the beach! It has everything needed including beach chairs, very nice beach towels, linens, a well stocked kitchen, very comfortable bed, a sofa bed, its own outdoor deck, an additional shared outdoor space with a fire pit and grill, and private beach access. The beach is located across the street. The condo is immaculately clean. The use of space is excellent. My sis-in-law and I traveled together and we were a little concerned about staying in a studio but this condo was set up so well, it worked perfectly for us. There is a free washer and dryer on site which is located super close to 2C. We appreciated the convenience of being able to do laundry while on vacation. Paula was quick to answer any questions and we had the pleasure of meeting her as she was onsite performing some upgrades. The pictures of the condo are great but it is even better in person!

The accommodations were great. The beach access was not what we expected based on pictures. The property folks were very good at responding to email questions quickly. Overall a good experience. We'd stay there again.

Studio apartment setup with wood deck on side of unit. [Not all units have the wood deck]. Stephanie the property manager onsite when we arrived. Stephanie was great and answered all our questions and more on the unit and private beach access. Place was perfect and comfortable with everything we needed if we ate in and for the beach. All we had to do was show up and enjoy our time off. Next trip to the Florida West Coast we will only stay at this property!

This was the perfect little getaway for our family. Everyone had a great time even the dogs. Cutest place ever, they thought of everything that you could possibly need. My only critique is that the bed was very hard, took a day to get used to! Some people like firm mattresses! Thank you for thinking of all the little touches!
