Perfect lil beach condo
We loved how close we were to the beach. It was beautiful, so nice. We loved that we weren't near the major public beaches and were more secluded. We slept great and had everything we needed in the kitchen when cooking. The owners were amazing communicating and we would love to book another trip back with our kids or pets next time!

Spacious and convenient
Apartment 2D was clean and had plenty of room for the two of us. It was only 1.5 miles from the nearest restaurants and 2 miles from the southern access bridge to Manasota Key. The kitchen was nicely equipped and had a full size fridge. It was roughly a couple-hundred-yard walk to both the gulf and bay, but access to both felt somewhat intrusive as we had to navigate property easements to get there. The outdoor shower just outside the apartment door was great! A bathroom exhaust fan would be a nice addition, and we notified the owner that the television appeared was kaput. All things considered, we would stay here again.

Cute, quaint, cozy
Cute cozy studio. Only big enough for two. This unit is on the first floor so you can hear the footsteps of the renters above you. Also, finding the beach access is a bit difficult. You have to cross the street and walk along a busted up wood fence, careful with the broken down pieces on the ground, some have screws/nails sticking up. Just beyond the fence you cut over to your right and onto another rental property. Continue walking along the fence line until you get to the beach. It is a beautiful, quiet , private beach. We found several sharks teeth. All and all we had a wonderful stay. Also pet friendly!

We loved the unit, the overall property. And the location.
We were happy with everything provided inside the unit. Happy to see a full size refrigerator and a spacious bathroom. The outside area was a nice place to hang out. We were happy about the washer and dryer too! The best thing was the proximity to the beach!

Starfish Stays
We enjoyed our 3 day stay at Starfish Stays- clean, well-appointed, quiet. Stephanie was very friendly and extremely helpful with the locking mechanism. We had great difficulty with the August Home password and locking mechanism. It wasn't until the next day did it all get sorted out. Not a good way to start our vacation. The key pad system is so much easier. A great place and location on Manasota Key.
