    Condo location was perfect for quick beach access, especially since we had our dog with us! Condo was neat and put together upon arrival and the rental company was easy to work with when a minor issue with the streaming services offered arose. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend!

    Location was great. Wifi was strong and stable. Furniture was nice and plush. Interior paint needed some attention. A pod coffee machine would have been nice, only had drip coffee maker. Bathroom tub had mold/mildew in it. Check in/out instructions from Vacasa were contradictory.

    The house was just as described. Loved the location and ease of being near a walkway. The pool was great and enjoyed by all. The manager was prompt to respond to a problem we had. We weren’t able to get into the property until an hour or so after the check in time because it wasn’t ready. Only negative!

    My family and I had a wonderful visit to the Starfish Cottage! This home has beautiful views for coffee in the morning, a short walk to the beach to enjoy the ocean, and a refreshing pool to take a relaxing dip in the afternoon. It includes everything you need to make a delicious meal at home (including a grill, which we used for fresh seafood several nights), and thoughtful amenities, like charging stations and plenty of hooks for hanging damp towels and bathing suits. The beds provide a comfortable place to rest after a day at the beach, or an afternoon touring one of the local sites. I have stayed at this home with friends, cousins, and most recently, my immediate family, and each time it has worked out perfectly. Don’t miss this gem in Ocean Isle!

    Great for adults. Pool was a plus in the heat in the 90’s this week. House is convenient to beach- they provide a cart to carry chairs etc. to the beach. Steps not convenient for W/C access- handicapped. Under house garage w/ a lot of room, water toys and a refrigerator for keeping drinks cold. A couple of issues that were promptly addressed by property management. Great family vacation for us!

    Other than Debby sending us home early we had a great stay. This house is positioned perfectly between the beach and the road. Beach access is two houses down and very easy to get too. The house is very cozy and fit 6 adults comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook dinners easily.

    This house was perfect and well kept. It was clean and met all our needs. The pool was so nice and enjoyed by my family. It was nice to have all the pool toys and floats available. Plenty of board games, even a corn hole game and yard size connect four. We reserved for 2025 so we are all set. You will have no regrets with this beach home!
