Perfection

This property is exactly what you see! Minute walk to the perfect white sand beach and easy enough to come right back when then toddlers aren’t having it! Having beach access right across the street made it not as big of a headache when kids aren’t cooperating. Correspondence with property manager was very quick and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!!

5 year family reunion

House was fabulous & plenty of room for all 20 of us. Pool amazing, short hop to beach. Well insulated, no street noise inside & quiet between floors. Kitchen layout great. We loved it!!There is a disconnect between VRBO & property owners about what to do with trash cans. Sign on frig is wrong & those on cans are right. I’ve heard that no matter how hard you try a couple of big black insects get inside- only first floor laundry room area but teenagers reacted as you would expect. Maintenance arrived quickly to fix a condensation leak from 2nd floor to first floor bathroom.

Beautiful, clean property with an excellent location ! Super easy to communicate with property owners. We loved our stay! The size/set up of the house allows for plenty of space to congregate yet also have personal space if needed. Only thing I would mention is to bring extra blankets and beach towels if you can !!!

Beautiful home, relaxing vacation!

We planned a big family vacation and knew that we might have to spend most of our time at "home" because of COVID-19. We couldn't have chosen a better place! The house is lovely, with lots of little spaces for small groups to hang out. I highly recommend having the pool heated - we enjoyed swimming!

Elevator, private pool, beach access across the street

Seastar Palazzo offered even more than what was described. Our family of 12 adults, 2 teenagers, one 6yo and 3 toddlers had plenty of room to be together in the open concept living area, or to find quiet space if they wanted. We had a great stay and highly recommend this property and the property manager (easy to reach, quick to answer questions and resolve issues).The elevator was especially helpful for our older family members. There are 3 baby gates and one highchair.The 20' x 40' pool has ledges at both ends that 2yo toddlers can stand on, the pool bottom slopes to a depth of 6' in the center. A beach wagon was helpful to haul additional chairs to the beach where an umbrella and two chairs were set up (near Crabtrap restaurant).There were plenty of linens, toiletries and TP in the bathrooms, salt/pepper . The coffee maker has a 12 cup carafe and a K-cup set up with 2 reusable pods (bring your own coffee and filters). Plenty of large pots and bowls for meal prep, salt/pepper, dishwasher pods and dish detergent.Strangely, only 2 very thin kitchen garbage bags were provided, so bring extras. Walmart is about 10 minutes away. We brought several inflatable pool toys with us, but some foam squirt guns, noodles and boogie boards were in the garage.
