We loved this cottage, it was perfect for the three of us and two furry family members. The walk to the beach was literally 2 minutes and this beach doesn't have a parking lot so it wasn't crowded at all. Everything you would need is in walking or bike riding distance. Groceries, dollar store, drug store, NY bagels, ice cream, I can go on and on. The restaurants that were suggested were a short car ride away, no more than 20 minutes! The only issue we had was that the kitchen didn't have enough silverware. A quick trip to the dollar store fixed that so you may want to be proactive when doing your shopping for the week.

While we usually stay somewhere with an ocean view, this was a relaxing cottage within a couple of minutes to the sand. Very bright and clean. Access to the pool was great. I would suggest having a crockpot in the cottage, it makes dinner so easy, especially with no restaurants close enough to walk to.

What a great week spent at Starfish 3 for our Party of 5. The walk to the beach was easy (just a few short steps and you are on the sand!) and the convenience to stores was key for us . We loved the decor and ease of having the washer and dryer in the main hallway. Our one suggestion would be to utilize space better maybe with some "murphy" beds since rooms are tight and there is not a lot of walking space with luggage. The closets were locked or full so the luggage stayed exposed all week. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. 2 Blankets and towels were also available which was a nice touch! The Starfish 3 beach cottage is perfect for your pit stop from beach to trolley to a restaurant close by! We would stay here again without hesitation.

The location was great with great access to the beach and a local strip mall. Most things worked in the house worked except a couple of the ceiling fans. The information binder that was there was mostly rules and hardly any instructions on how to use things. The description said that pool could be used but the pool area was dirty and full of leaves. The pool cleaner did service the pool on day two and the yard maintenance people came by about halfway through the week and cleaned up the pool area. The biggest issue we had was getting into the pool area through the locked gate. There were no instructions given on how to get in other than “push the bypass button” which we never could find. When we called Vacasa they said we need a key to get in but we don’t have a key, only the owner has the key. When I told her that the information we got on the website and in the binder said we could use the pool she said that information is outdated. Then when I told her that the welcome email we got said to push the bypass button on some alarms she said “oh yeah, there may be an alarm around there”. But she had no idea where. She said she would reach out to a maintenance man but said she couldn’t reach him. A nice young man did call us several hours later but by then it was too late. Just seems like Vacasa doesn’t know anything about their properties. We actually got a call from the same young lady at Vacasa after we checked out to see if we “got the pool working”. Won’t use Vacasa again.

This was our second stay here at the complex we love to because it’s only 4 units. We had all four with our friends. Not all are with Vacasa. If you can swing it, you won’t be disappointed. The pool area became our meeting area and we had a blast. It’s a short walk to the beach and stores. Like most vacation rentals, there is a kitchen with pots and pans. Be sure to bring your spices etc if you plan to cook. My one and only complaint is the knife situation. I’m bringing a sharpener a next time lol! I highly recommend this place!

Loved the privacy of the neighborhood and the closeness of the beach.

Unit three is perfect and next year we will rent two units

We love this property and staying so close to the beach. Our cottage has everything we need, is clean and within a 40 second walk to the beach. We have stayed here before and will continue to stay here.

Great location and close to an awesome beach Nice condo but a bit small. Has everything you need. Nice pool. Met lots of nice people

Great location

We loved the location! So close to the beach and many restaurants & shops are nearby!

The cottage was very clean. Everything we needed was provided.
Nice to have beach towels available.

The pool was very nice.

Very clean, well-stocked. Love the private patio with grill. Pool are was nice, but could use a few more chairs in the sun. A short walk to the beach and the trolley stop. Within a 1/2 mile of a shopping center that contains a Publix and liqior store.

Nice pool and handy to the beach.

We stayed last year in Unit #2 and loved the location and the property so this year when unit #3 came available, jumped on it. We loved the layout and decor. The unit has everything you need. I even used the grill one night. There was an issue with the laundry door but a call to Vacasa and all was fixed the next day. The only real issue we had was the extremely hard beds. It was so bad my wife had to sleep on the couch. It takes a lot for us to complain about things so the bed was a big deal. We would definitely go back if they would change the mattess.
