About this house rental
The beauty of the setting of this home is unmatchable. From the large open porch, view pristine white sandy beaches of Indian Pass with multiple species of sea birds, enjoy watching dolphins in the Gulf, and experience stars at night like you've never seen them. Even night owls will want to awaken for the spectacular sunrises peeking above the Western tip of beautiful St. Vincent's Island, a National Wildlife Refuge just a short kayak trip away. Once you've stayed at 'Starlight by the Sea' you'll never want to leave--it happens to everyone.
This home was designed by the owners for fun for the entire family, all ages and including the 4-legged members as well. Indian Pass is the dog friendliest beach you'll ever find. Like horses? We're horse friendly, too. Ride the 5000 acre Buffer Preserve or the 8000 acre Box R Ranch, or with permits and tail bags, ride the lovely beaches of Cape San Blas. There's also great fishing, boating, and golfing. After all this activity, relax swinging in the hammock, sunning on the open deck, or reading a good book in the shade of the veranda. Then stroll the beach for a magnificent sunset. It truly is magical.
WHAT'S NEW: We now have 2 ocean kayaks for our guests to use at no extra cost. We do not provide lifejackets so you will need to bring your own or rent them locally.
IF YOUR IDEA OF A GREAT VACATION IS...
To gently awaken in bed with a view of a huge red sun peeking over the horizon and the sound of seagulls and waves lapping the shore
To sit on a breezy porch with a panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico and watch dolphins frolicking in blue water and blue herons walking along a snow white beach
To eat sunset dinners al fresco while watching the Gulf of Mexico turn an iridescent blue against a pink sky
To lounge on comfortable chairs looking up at star-filled skies and moonlight shining on the sea

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!!
