Starfish Escape

Loved the location of this beautiful home. Close enough to restaurants and shopping, but tucked away enough to enjoy life on a coastal island. We sat on the deck and enjoyed our coffee each morning with a wonderful view of the dunes, the water, the surrounding homes and the shrimp boats. All day, and especially at night, we could hear the roar of the ocean as it rolled into the shore. The outdoor shower, with hot water, was amazing. The evening found us back on the deck chatting late into the night and just enjoying a slower pace of life. At night there are too many stars above your head to count!

I had the wonderful opportunity to stay here for 4 nights as guests of the owners, so I did not utilize the realty. However, the cottage was fabulous, and we enjoyed the same amenities that we would have had through the realty. The cottage is more like a full sized home, with gorgeous kitchen and open living area. Dog and kid friendly. Plenty of space in bedrooms. AC worked flawlessly. Internet signal strong and consistent, even outside on the deck. You can see slivers of the ocean from the side deck, but it is so close you can hear the surf clearly. Steps to beach is an accurate description. Decor is fresh and clean. TV in every room but we were so entranced with the warm breeze and sound of the ocean that we stayed outside every evening until bedtime. My husband and I were so impressed we found ourselves discussing another trip back!

The cottage was very nice. The open floor plan between the kitchen and living space worked out great! The bedrooms were good size. Would have preferred two full baths, but the outdoor shower with hot water helped. The close proximity to the beach walkover was awesome! Wished the weather had been a little more sunny, but all in all I would recommend this place.
