    Great place to stay. Just steps away from the beach. Planning on going back and will definitely stay here again if available! It is pet friendly if bringing your fur baby.

    Starfish Stays is a great location! Short walk to the beach. Amazing sunsets. Free golf cart ride to dining to avoid parking issues. Food was great nearby. If you cannot get a reservation, you can order! Not the full restaurant dining experience but still taste the amazing food! Studio is cute and well equipped.

    I picked this place because it was a short walk to beach access. We were given directions to an access when we arrived. When we went there we were met by two different men who said beach was private and Star Fish Stays did not have access. I contacted Paula who sent us to a different access that was all large rocks. No beach. Then she sent us to another access. On one of our trips to this one we were yelled at and told she did not have access to that one either. The one she does have deeded access to is right across the street from unit and is also inaccessible due to large rocks. She told us storms did this. And that she is waiting on permits to fix her access. I feel that she should not say she has a beach access in her post of the property. She advised me to drive to the beaches on the keys. At which parking is impossible! If I wanted to drive I would have rented a much less expensive place. Door lock didn't work when we arrived and batteries need replacement. Internet also went out while we were there. The bathroom fan comes on when you turn on light and sounds like a freight train. Lots of light pollution in the room at night making sleeping hard. But there is now a gate on the first access we went to in my honor. The whole thing was embarrassing! I usually just roll with things, but this was too much. It seems I was put in the middle of their fight with neighbors. Notice that one of here reviews that are excellent is by her husband. Makes you wonder

    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!
