Absolutely loved our stay!! Property was very nice and cozy! Beach was conveniently across the street and several restaurants a few blocks down the street. Once we made our trip to grocery store we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We’re already planning our next trip to Starfish Stays in Englewood!! The hosts Scot and Paula were quick to respond to any questions I had. Again we absolutely loved it!! Vicky T.

Proximity to beach was great. The unit was clean and had an updated beachy decor. The property manager was helpful and friendly.. That being said, the property was not worth the price. The bed was uncomfortable. We could not get the TV to work properly. The toilet was so small that it seemed like it was made for a toddler. The walls were paper thin. We respectfully would not go back. Our primary focus was to see an ailing relative and we were just happy to land a place during the busy spring break break season . If our purpose was solely a romantic weekend for two, we would have been really disappointed!!
