    It was a beautiful place and the decor was very nice. Everything worked perfectly for us in the condo!!I should’ve read the fine print on the listing that to access the amenities of Pointe West including pools and beach, the guest is responsible for paying 25 per guest for wristbands. My bad because in previous stays at other condos here this was taken care of as part of the condo payment.Also note that this condo does have direct access to the small pool/ lazy river, but is located across the street and a little trek (definitely not walkable) from the Pointe West beach access, larger pool area, restaurant, gym etc. Additionally, the gym and children’s play area were under renovation and not accessible during our stay. If these are important to you, I would call the main number for Pointe West to ensure that all of the facilities are available for use before booking. The gym closure was a bit of an issue for us as two of our guests were planning on daily workouts.Obviously this is not the fault of the owner, but again could’ve been part of my own research.Overall, the stay was highly enjoyable!!

    The space and the updates are what made this visit amazing. There was plenty of room for all of us and never felt crowded. 4 adults and 2 littles (5 &7). We even had other family drop in for meals and a game and we still had plenty of room. The location to the lazy river was perfect for a quick to and from the pool. I loved that I could take long walks along the paths available. There was an A/C issue; however, the owner was quick to respond and did try to get it looked at. Praise the Lord the A/C kind of worked itself out as we were there and it wasn't pleasant the majority of our trip. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

    The overall floorplan for our condo was amazing! We have stayed in other condos in the area before and this was the best condo by far we have stayed in. The kitchen area was open to the rest of the living area and the cook was not left out of the family activities. Our balcony overlooked the lazy river pool area which was nice. My grandkids (5 and twin 3 yr olds) loved the bunkbeds in their room. The shower in the master bathroom was great (nice and big)! All three grandkids could shower at once after at trip to the beach. The only thing that would have made our stay nicer would have been cooling off the water at the lazy river. The water was 102 degrees at 9 PM!

    Starfish is by far the best VRBO that I have stayed at. Decor is wonderful...relaxing. Condo exceptionally clean. The kitchen was incredible. Very well stocked for a VRBO. Cookware was in great shape...TONS of dishes and glasses...all kinds of small appliances. All in all it was a wonderful stay...and this is the only negative that I can come up with too. I only wish that we had, had a heads up about the Mosquitos out there. They were vicious, and HUGE. =0) If we had a heads up we could have taken our bug spray with us. But that was a minor issue. We LOVE It.
