We are repeat renters and we absolutely love this property. I highly recommend renting both the upstairs and downstairs for your large group needs. It’s on a quiet street, close to beach access and along a bike path. It’s big enough to accommodate large groups while still giving everyone privacy. We made even more memories this year and are already looking to book it again next year.

This apartment is as cozy as it looks on the website. Kitchen is fully stocked and we easily made most of our meals here. I wish the listing mentioned that dogs are not allowed at the beach on Tybee at all, but I fully take responsibility for not checking on that myself. Wonderful stay!

Reviewer Comments:
So roomy and comfortable. Four of us and our dog loved this nicely designed upstair unit. The kitchen is large and equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and swing! Fenced back yard is perfect for a dog. The only issue was dish washer was not working...we called management company and hopefully that has been resolved. Would definitely rent Wish Upon a Starfish again.

Comfortable beach house 3 blocks from the beach. Beautiful kitchen for preparing meals. Grocery store is a few blocks away. Pillows for beds need upgrading, we did have several roaches in bathrooms and bedrooms. I hear these are common in Georgia. We also found ants on coming into one bathroom. Washer and dryer work great. Overall enjoyable stay.
