Great Location!

The house was only a few steps to the beach. The elevator made it easy to transfer items to and from the house. Very spacious outdoor deck that was large enough for our entire family.

Quite escape

Beautiful beach house with everything you can possibly need for a relaxing weekend at the beach . We had an amazing time just enjoying the view and the rest . The soothing sound of the ocean was definitely an added pleasure. Walking on the beach to relaxing on the deck , we had a wonderful time and would most definitely recommend this property to any one !

Great Time

The Starfish was awesome. We loved the location and the stay was perfect. The only downside was the check-in and checkout times. It is expensive for 42 hours, you should really get the full 48 hours. The owners were very responsive for any needs that we had. Overall, it was a great beach house.

Great Weekend

The house was perfect for 9 guests. It could easily house more, if needed. There were more amenities than listed, such as beach chairs and kitchen appliances. The house was clean and thankfully the luggage elevator worked! There was never a need to call the property manager.

A cold, but relaxing, week at the beach

We enjoyed our week on Bolivar. We didn't get to enjoy sitting out on the deck because of the cold, but inside was nice & toasty. Management was quick to answer when we called about using the cargo lift. Thank goodness for the lift as the stairs were many! They were quick to respond to the icy stairs issue one day. Our dogs especially thank you! The house was clean & well stocked. Furniture was comfortable, as were the beds. We will be back when it's a little warmer!

Wonderful Place, Wonderful Property

We had a fantastic stay. The home was beautiful, plenty of room, and an amazing porch that wraps around the house. You can see the sunrise in the front, and the sunset at the back. The lawn is well maintained, so there aren't hiding places for those awful bird sized mosquitos that call the area home, we hardly saw any in our week there. The beach is less than a stones throw away, and is essentially private in front of the house - there is about a 50 yard span between where our family and the neighbors would set up. The hosts were absolutely great, and incredibly responsive, excellent service with any questions we had. I certainly plan to return, and am beyond sad to have to depart.

Perfect beach home

This is our 2nd stay at the Magnificent Starfish for our girl’s beach trip. Location is perfect, literally steps from the beach. The home has everything you need and plenty of space. We had a couple of minor issues. The host was easily reached and issues taken care of promptly. Can’t wait to book our next long weekend !

Beautiful, calm and relaxing

We had a perfect stay. The property is absolutely amazing and the outside areas were perfect. Having a quick rinse shower right when you get off the beach was great and the cargo lift made bringing our belongings in and out super easy. It was also a blessing for our mobility impaired senior dog. The high speed EV charger was super convenient and easy to use. Inside, the home is beautiful, spotlessly clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The home’s layout allows privacy for everyone and never feels crowded. The neighbors are very outgoing and pleasant so you feel like you belong there, not like an outsider. The beach was clean and had so many beautiful shells and sea glass. Our son had a fantastic time exploring. There weren’t many people, so it was quiet and never crowded. We can’t wait to come back!!

Romantic house on the beach

First off, Starfish is right on the beach. Nothing like sitting on the deck listening to the surf roll in, watching the stars at night or the dolphins in the morning Very quiet park of the beach, we never had anyone in sight Comfy beds, new furniture. Starlink Marble floors Gas range Really big yard Nice big deck with amazing views

Great house and location

Another beautiful beach front home from Bolivar Vacations. Very clean and great location. Comfy furniture too! My only suggestions would be to supply some basic toiletries and extras such as shampoo and creamer for coffee. Nothing worse than getting in the shower only to discover no soap or shampoo then having to get dressed and go purchase these items that we didn't bring from home. I know the welcome letter said to bring toiletries but most VRBOs supply a small amount of soap for the shower and shampoo. I have owned a VRBO and these items are cheap and appreciated. Also suggest replacing the pillows on the king bedroom. We had a wonderful time on our stay. Would suggest moving checkout time to 11 am as most accomodations have this policy. We would stay again but we preferred Bella Luna as our first choice, however it was already booked.

2024 Family Vacation

Year 6 for our family to enjoy Bolivar Peninsula. The house we originally booked was not available due to the hurricane so Bolivar Vacations offered us The Magnificent Starfish instead. What an awesome choice for our family! The accommodations were spacious, clean, and perfectly decorated. We will definitely try and book this house next year.
