Everything was great! The condo was clean and comfortable. Our host, Paula was very pleasant and a great resource of information. My only concern was that a few of the throw rugs didn’t lye flat and could have be a trip hazard if you’re not paying attention. Would definitely stay at any of their properties again.

About 1 block from ocean. You enter a locked gate with a combo. To view the ocean, walk a block.

Clean property, needed some exterior repair after the hurricane, but didn’t affect us. Lots of people coming in and out for 2-3 day stays. Lots of people with dogs, but generally not a problem

The absolute best!

How can you say the stay was perfect and communicate that to, you, the review reader. This was our second stay with Starfish Stays, it will likely become an annual visit. Its just that great. The location is incredible. The beach is right there, and beautiful. Everything you need and more is provided. Scot and Paula are tremendous. Stephanie, the on site manager, is so friendly and helpful. Look no further, you have found the best choice for your vacation.

Ants in bathroom (coming in from whole in the bathtub grout). Paint was chipping off throughout the apartment. Big stains on the couch cushions. Missing baseboard in living room. Many dirty dishes in the cupboards. Need new heat shields on outdoor girl. Private beach area was small, so we used public beaches near by.

We didn't make a big deal about it but our unit video didn't show a couch stain before your arrival. We also sent out a manger out immediately who sprayed and recommended you don't keep open dog food. We realize when you have over 2 thousand 5 star reviews there will eventually be an unhappy guest, but we still try our best to make everyone happy!

Love Englewood!

All of the instructions were great and descriptions of amenities accurate. Loved the outdoor area with the grill the fire and cornhole, we enjoyed that almost every evening! The beach chairs and umbrella were nice along with the boogie boards the granddaughters loved them, the waves were good for them to ride which is usually not the case, it is usually a lot calmer on the ocean here but they loved it! The tide was high a lot of the time we were there so there wasn't a lot of beach space but there was enough for everyone to share...still plenty of space that you felt private not like at the public beach. Love the Lock N' Key restaurant, if you like to have an adult beverage head to order at 1 of the ends of the bar and ask for the 'pull tabs' after you've placed your order and you may get a 1/2 price or 50cent drink, I highly recommend the 'roasty toasy'!

Great peaceful “Old Florida feel”

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the property manager Stephanie. She was extremely helpful and immediately made us feel at home. Our unit 2A was very clean with updated renovations. The area is very quiet and the private beach is a short walk across the street. We found numerous seas shells and pretty much had the beach to ourselves. The hosts Scott and Paula were very helpful during our stay and easily assisted us with extending our stay by one day. The site has two gas bbq grills and two sets of corn hole games available. The rental also supplies numerous beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach essentials for our use. The two outdoor showers were also a great addition to get the sand and salt water off before returning to our unit. We will definitely be returning to this dog friendly home in the near future.

A great stay on the second row from Manasota Key’s beaches. A few things that would’ve make the stay a little easier:Clear signage/directions for the laundry roomDisclosing the beach access instructions, and disclosing that it led to a rocky portion of the beach with no clear sand access without getting wet or walking through neighboring yards. Made for excellent seashell hunting and less crowded beach though!A better option for utensils in the kitchen. We opted to cook both nights we were there and kitchen tons, stirring spoons, etc were not one of the choices we had to use. The knives in the block were very dull. There was a spice rack available. But a few of the seasonings were empty and no way to know if they were still good to use. A curtain in the outdoor shower would be a good addition. Washing the sand off was great but the rough surface we had during our stay made for sand and shells INSIDE swimsuits and ended up on the bathroom floor to be swept up when we showered. It would’ve been great to do that outside instead. Otherwise a wonderful stay. Would rent here again.

It was a pleasure hosting you! We are always available 24/7 to make our guests stay perfect. The laundry room door is labeled "laundry' , there are also directions in the welcome message. Our beach access as of 6/25 is located right across the street. A beach deeded access will always be a dirt road that runs through another property. We are so glad you found lots of sharks teeth! Each building has two out door beach showers to help eliminate the sand. Unfortunately an outdoor shower curtain wouldn't make it long at the beach. The drawer next to the sink has the larger cookware. Remember we are always here to help and staff frequently visits the property to help you.

Everything was absolutely perfect

Went for a couple day getaway with my husband and our (7-13) 4 kids. This place is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and easily accommodated the 6 of us very nicely and confortably. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud of awesomeness! We got in town earlier in the day and they got it cleaned and let us check in by 230! the host here are 11/10 with their hospitality, tons of amenities provided, quickness to respond back to me and just very helpful. The beach is literally right across the road and it’s not crowded AT ALL! We had an absolute blast looking for shark teeth! Sifters were available. I think the absolute best part was the outside showers. Super awesome with kids. We will definitely stay here again!
