Starlight by the Sea, the porch, the view, straight from your dreams

Absolutely perfect location. Everything is just as the pictures show. Clean, beautiful property. Awesome location! Would definitely stay there again !

Joy and Bob are wonderful hosts! This is a very relaxing place. Our family, including our two dogs, felt right at home. We enjoyed the beach and the breeze on the deck while sunning. Very laid back area with cool wildlife. Herons and a bald eagle regularly around the beach as are other shore birds.

This is our fifth year in Indian Pass and our third stay at Starlight by the Sea. We keep returning because it’s such a perfect spot for our dogs—they absolutely love the porch, and so do we. The location is ideal: peaceful, uncrowded, and with beautiful sunrise views right from the porch. Joy is always wonderful to work with and truly an exceptional host.

What a wonderful 2 weeks. The peacefulness and comfort was the best. Starlight by the Sea had everything we needed and more. We have already booked for next year!

Joy was a fantastic host!

Great for pets. Great view of the Gulf.

Starlight By the Sea is one of the most peaceful places by the water I’ve ever stayed… Every sunset and every sunrise is spectacular! Joy is a wonderful host! I’ve been coming here for probably 20 years! The place has everything you need to relax, kayak over to the island, grill if you want, walk the beach, etc. Joy the host is such a delight! She makes sure your stay is peaceful and you have everything you need!!

Starlight by the sea was a wonderful quiet get away. It was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. It is located right on the water. We enjoyed sitting on the huge deck and watching the sunrises, dolphins and eagles. Loved walking on the beach and picking up shells. There was wonderful communication with the owner, Joy. We will definitely go back again. If you are looking for places to eat, The Raw Bar is 5 minutes away and has a dog friendly patio. Food was awesome. Mango Marley's on Mexico Beach also had giant cheeseburgers, huge shrimp and sweet potato fries. Sparks Bar-B-Que in town served smoked brisket and amazing BBQ chicken nachos, also pet friendly patio. Hunts Oyster Bar also had wonderful shrimp and chicken tenders. Best hush puppies I have ever had. Also pet friendly patio overlooking the water. The Sugar Shack ice cream shop had homemade ice cream and huge pup cups. We loved Port Saint Joe, Florida and will definitely visit it again.

I haven't been to this part of Florida in 9 years and it didn't disappoint! The home was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Very large porch that we enjoyed, dogs loved the porch too. The views of the sunrise from the porch were stunning. Joy was very quick to respond to any questions and even had a little welcome gift for us! I hope to come back soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing beach trip.

This property is in a great location at the mouth of Indian Pass. Shelling, fishing, and a boat ramp right at your feet! Great house for just relaxing! Safe porch gates for your pets! We loved every minute of the stay! And Scalloping was great this year, too! We shall return!!!!!!!

Starlight is a wonderful place to be for a quiet beach vacation. We love the views, the water, and the privacy. This was our grandson's first time at the beach, and he couldn't get enough of the water. Thank you, Joy, for sharing your home with us again! We'll be back!!

great place to stay

We really enjoyed our time at Starlight by the Sea. This was our first time at Indian Pass and fell in love. We especially loved the location of this house. The hosts were incredibly nice and very helpful. Hoping to be back soon.

Starlight by the Sea was everything we hoped for when booking! The house was homey and comfortable with everything we needed to prepare a few meals. The wraparound porch and the beach both exceeded our expectations. It was a wonderful relaxing beach vacation that our entire group needed and enjoyed! Thank you Joy for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful views, comfortable stay, and excellent hosts. Easy and clear check-in/check-out process and pet friendly.

We had a wonderful time at Starlight by the Sea at Indian Pass. This beach house is right on the beach and has a huge wrap around porch with a beautiful view of the ocean. All 3 bedrooms have glass doors that lead out to the porch. The living room furniture was comfortable and perfect for our family. Joy was easy to communicate with and even checked on us during our stay. We’ve never had a better hostess! We highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing beach trip. Just a tip: take bug spray! There were just a few yellow flies. We wore citronella bracelets that helped a lot.

We loved the area! Practically had the beach to ourselves! Favorite thing about the property was the deck overlooking the ocean. Also, the area being dog friendly was a special treat for our pups. Will be going back!

The home was advertised exactly as it is! Joy was easy to communicate with, and was most accommodating!I have to express how comfortable the bed is in the second “Master” bedroom! I honestly don’t think I have EVER had a truly restful vacation before this one!! I will be completely honest about the water in our particular area. While there, it was murky. But there were storms coming and going… We rented a golf cart from a local person, and cruised the beach a little further away from the area we were staying, and it seemed to get a little more clear, with a few wading areas. This was not a big issue to us, as we don’t typically base our vacation entirely around “swimming” but if you do…you may want to weigh out that option? This doesn’t take away the beauty of this destination. We found some of the LARGEST sea shells than we EVER have,we caught plenty of catfish (kinda funny coming from Indiana). I saw dauphins so close to the shore, that I felt like I could pet them (not recommended, that statement is just for reference.) We saw bald eagles, a beautiful doe, and so much wildlife I couldn’t believe it! If you are looking for slow living, charm, wild life, beautiful views, restful nights… I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOME FOR YOUR NEXT VACATION!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay!

Our third stay at Starlight which was, as always, great. Our dogs love the large deck and easy access to the beach. We will be back again next year!

My wife and I return to this property every year to cycle in the area for a few weeks. The place is always immaculate and a great place to stay

An amazing place to stay. We hope to come back soon! It was great to have the ocean kayaks--we were able to easily explore on St Vincent Island.

We had a wonderful time. The house and deck are great. Love the quiet area that allows dogs. Hope to come back soon.

Great holiday getaway, pet friendly and an amazing view!

We really enjoyed our time at this lovely home. Joy was so easy and amazing to communicate with. The views from the porch are unmatchable.

Every year we look forward to coming down to Starlight for our beach vacation, and we are never disappointed. Our 15-year-old dog loves coming here, and even though it's harder for her to get down to the beach, she makes sure her toes are in the sand as much as possible! Port St Joe is getting more options for restaurants-all were very good- so we did eat out more often this trip, but for meals in we had everything we needed. My favorite spot is either sitting on the chaise or lounging in the hammock-there's no way to choose just one! Joy, thank you again for sharing your home! Can't wait to get back again!!

The view from the deck is amazing. You can’t believe how relaxing it is to look out over the Indian Pass. Joy is such an amazing host. Our Family and Fur babies had a wonderful time.
