WALK TO BEACH ACCESS!! BOOK TODAY!
Welcome to Starfish Stays. Our little piece of paradise is located about a 5 min walk to a pristine private beach on the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This totally renovated Key West inspired two bedroom apartment is setting the standard on Manasota Key as one of eight units at Starfish Stays on the unique Manasota Key of Southwest Florida.
Starfish stays is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach for gorgeous morning walks, shell and shark teeth collecting, swimming, sitting under an umbrella, basking in the sun or watching the most beautiful sunsets of the Gulf. Plenty of complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels in the unit. Two custom built outdoor showers hit the spot to rinse away the sand and salt. We make it easy for you to relax and enjoy your vacation.
The grounds of Starfish feature a beautiful pergola complete with gas fire pit, bbq, cornhole games and seating for eight!
The fantastic Stump Pass is 3 miles south of the property. Here you can fish, hike the nature trails, launch a boat or kayak or just relax on the secluded beach. Stump Pass is an excellent location for finding shark teeth. Parking is only $3 per day.
Blind Pass is one mile north on the key. There are nature trails, docks for fishing, kayak launches, and playground and picnic areas. There are public restrooms and outdoor showers as well as more beautiful beaches. Parking is free here and abundant.
Starfish Stays was completely renovated inside and out. Our property features 8 total vacations units. 2A is brand new and was completed August 2020. Everything is new down to the stainless appliances, queen size bed in one bedroom, two twin beds and a TV in the other bedroom and custom countertop. Starfish 2A boasts a brand new sofa bed w/ upgraded brand new memory foam queen size mattress for added comfort. We offer a fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, and all linens.
Starfish Stays has eight units on the same property! Four two bedroom units, 3 studios, and a one bedroom unit. We can accommodate larger groups in several units.
We have our own private beach access, a TWO minute walk to the sand. Looking to avoid the big beach crowds? Our private beach is wide, sandy and PRIVATE.
