Right on the beach! Home stocked well with dishes and utensils and cups for a ton of people. It was wonderful to have a ramp for my mil and the dogs to get to the deck. My mil said she felt like another person just sitting on the deck and watching the waves.

We enjoyed our stay at Enchanted Sea Star. Had everything we needed and great access to the beach. We were there in mid May so weather was great and not crowed. This place could sleep a lot of people but it was just me and my husband this time. Would recommend the Enchanted sea Star! The hosts are great also.

Wedding
We booked this beach house because it was LITERALLY in front of the beach! Once we stepped into the house I fell inlove with it! The deco of the house fits so well with the beach, kitchen was fully decked w/ pots, pans, casserole pans, plates, cups & utensils. House is stocked with towels, blankets…just LOVED It! Love the scenery, nice chairs on the deck and everything fits for our wedding Wednesday. Got nice compliments about the house from our guest & my parents wants to do a family reunion & get a beach house near the beach. We had an AMAZING, FUN time & will come back again.

Special Family Get-together
Beautiful views! Beachfront perfect location! Charming and comfortable home with plenty of room for our large family to be together in one place! Exactly the perfect place for sharing laughter, fun and making memories. The living room was large enough for all of us to lounge and visit. The kitchen was sufficient for preparing home-cooked meals to feed 14 people! The table had comfortable seating for our entire group to eat together and gather for a night of games. Loved sitting on deck and watching the waves at night. Plenty of beds for our group to sleep comfortably with spacious bathrooms. Very happy beachy home. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Great Family Getaway
We had family visiting from Europe and wanted a quiet getaway for a few days. All guests were older (50-83yrs old) so we specifically looked for not just a nice place but one that was more accessibility friendly. This delivered. The beach house was very cute and comfortable, the ramp much appreciated by our older guests! Right on the beach it had wonderful views for morning coffee. The one thing I would mention is the colorful deck chairs are very tall so not all could get up in them - next time we will bring a step stool :) Great communication and easy access - we would definitely stay again!

Enchanted Sea Star
We enjoyed our stay at the Enchanted Sea Star! It was a perfect house right on the beach. We were 4 adults and 2 teenagers. It was so nice to just walk right onto the beach. We had absolutely no issues. Lots of bathtowels!, stocked kitchen for cooking, 2 refrigerators and a washer and dryer. You will need to supply paper towels, toilet paper, toiletries for the showers, hand soap, dishwashing soap and washing detergent. Not a big deal at all!!! There is a 7 Seas grocery store right down the road full of essentials, meat, veggies, cheese, etc.,.. Nate’s seafood restaurant is there, too. You are 30 minutes from the Pleasure Pier, but it’s such a pretty drive you don’t even notice it. We had a lovely stay and we also had our dog with us :) Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house!

Perfect Holiday!
This is the third time my family has chosen this beautiful beach home for a winter holiday getaway. We keep coming back for multiple reasons: unmatched location/ocean views (I can’t stress this enough—we’ve explored other options in the area), accessible for family members with mobility needs (walker/cane), and excellent communication with hosts. We love the quiet area, it feels like it is your own private beach. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked for those moments when you are inspired to cook, and the living room is super cozy. Overall, the home has everything you need if you are looking for a place to relax and unwind. We hope to be back for our 4th stay very soon. 😁

Not clean
The outside under the house was dirty with inadequate parking because of the huge dip in the dirt before you go under the house. The picnic table had sticky red food on it. The dirt under the house was nasty like numerous dogs had foot prints all over and way too many people had been there before us. Many things in the house have been poorly kept. My husband described it best as this is a big party house. Floors are wood that needs rugs or replaced. The huge chairs block the views from inside and they’re filthy with dirty hands all over the arms. The master bedding was old sheets and it all smelled. The toilet in the front bathroom is not attached to the floor. The front door was filthy. Everything presented as not kept clean and not taken care of very well. The guest room and kid room was nicer than master. The mirrors in master bathroom required me to bend down a lot to see my face- I’m 5’6. If you are looking for a place to have a lot of people pile in and not a relaxing pretty and clean stay it can work. I’m sorry, we’ve stayed many beach houses and this was our first like this one.
