About this house rental

We are pleased to host you in our cozy oceanfront home, Sea Star. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a fun gathering place for the family, or an exciting fishing destination, Sea Star is the place to be! This lovely sea cottage features two separate sides, separated by an open-air breezeway, so your large family can vacation together, but still have moments of privacy.

Each side sleeps 9 guests in 4 spacious bedrooms, and each side has two full baths, one downstairs and one upstairs. Kitchens on each side have full amenities, and the quaint furnishings & breezy colors bring the essence of the seashore inside! Each side has 3 large flat-screen TVs with Spectrum TV cable and high-speed internet.

In addition to being just steps from the surf, Sea Star boasts million-dollar views from both deck-levels. You will enjoy hours of relaxation on the expansive decks below, and the upstairs King bedrooms offer sliding glass doors and a deck with unmatched vistas of the sparkling sands and crystal water. Sip a glass of wine from the upper deck as the sun sets, then create a masterpiece in the kitchen - with freshly-caught local seafood, of course!

This listing is for Sea Star, whole house (VRBO #1193146), offering both sides, each with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. If you plan a vacation with 9 or fewer guests, please look for Sea Star East (VRBO #1091861) or Sea Star West (VRBO #1145098) to modify your occupancy options.

Come beach with us!

The beach house was in a great location—close to everything we needed and perfect for a relaxing trip. Our family and friends had a fantastic time. The house was very clean and exactly as described in the listing. The hosts were awesome—friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely stay here again!

It had been several years since our family gathered for our traditional week long stay at the beach, We were very fortunate to be able to rent this property. It fit our group and it's varied needs perfectly. It is wonderfully located and amazingly stocked for any need. The owner communication was so superb. We hope to be able to visit once again soon. This is a perfect "on the beach" property and unhesitatingly highly recommend for anyone to rent and visit.

My extended family booked both sides of the duplex. The location is great. Right on the water with an expansive, safe deck. We ate out there several times. The boardwalk to the beach is in good shape and makes everything easy. There is a foot washing station and outdoor shower head out near the beach for easy cleaning before coming in. The stretch of beach was wide, beautiful, and not at all crowded. We had beautiful weather and blue water all week. Both sides of the duplex are comfortable. Plenty of space. Very good wifi. There are a couple structural limitations to be aware of that cannot be changed. Only 2 bathrooms per side of the duplex. We wished we had a third with all of the kids at times. Also, there is shared laundry underneath the deck that you walk outside and in sand to access. It was fine for us since we rented both sides, and there is a shared schedule should you not rent both sides, but it lacks some convenience. It is nothing major, but just something to be aware of. We like to cook on vacation, and like most beach houses the place could use a bit more in the way of things like knives and utensils. It was adequately appointed though. The East duplex had a nicer, newer kitchen than the west. All of the furniture was very clean and comfortable, even if a bit older. The house was just easy and we had a great week without complaint. The owners made the stay to be honest with their responsiveness and extremely kind welcome. Would stay again.

We rented both sides of the duplex and it was such a wonderful trip. The owner was very responsive to every question and we absolutely loved our stay here. We were just steps from the water and we loved the convenience of being so close to the beach but our little ones could easily go back in and take naps. We loved waking up to the ocean breeze and watching the stars, storms and waves. All the basics were included at the home and even some extras we didn't expect. The location was close to town but still felt so private.
