Great place to stay!

The house was well decorated and the tiny home park was a great experience. The Starfish had everything we needed for our family of five and was close to the beach and surrounding restaurants and shops. We would definitely go back.

Couldn’t stay.

The place was cute. The location was bad. Kinda wrong side of the tracks. The chemical cleaner smell caused our eyes to water and the infant we brought ( my grandson ) caused an allergic reaction. The furniture was so dirty we didn’t want to sit and the curtains unacceptably dirty. So we ultimately decided to leave. None of us could imagine sleeping there. Please check out the flea situation as well before renting it out again.

Super cute place!

We were very surprised by the fresh cleaned smell upon walking in. Home was perfect for our stay and we would book here again if in Sarasota. It was stocked with the basics for cooking. Only item we found that could use improvement is the pull out sofa bed. Not comfortable at all. Conveniently located near stores and the beach! We walked to the ice cream shop. Great Place!! Thank you :)

Close to perfect

You should be aware: Not handicap accessible. Both doors have steps and driveway is slanted at an angle making loading/uploading tricky for seniors. Bring your own food down to the salt & pepper. Host's condiments were noticeably ancient. Bring warm sleepwear as host wants home kept at 68° F. Our stay was 1 night.

Only issue was the sofa bed mattress

The sofa bed mattress needs to be replaced. The mattress reeked of urine. And it has no bedding (not that we would use it )

Winter in Starfish House

Big picture we had a great 2 months in the starfish house. We were able to walk to siesta key (about a 1 mile walk to crescent beach). The house is also extremely close to grocery and other stores. The property manager, Darren, was quick to respond when we had issues. My complaints are that the house is in a bit of disrepair (ex. Cabinet doors hanging, cabinet shelves not secure ).The whole house is in need of a deep clean. The bedding was very old and unraveling. Lastly, the house was poorly stocked with cooking supples (no baking dish (I left one). No colander (I left one) No blender, no can opened (I left one).

The house is super cute. The blinds in the master bedroom need replaced. No privacy as slats were missing. Kinda creepy!!

Could be better

The house itself was lovely and the perfect size. It happened to be very cold the week we stayed there and there wasn’t any heat for 4 days until the property manager had it fixed. Also the washing machine doesn’t drain. So we had to wring out our clothes by hand. Thankfully the dryer worked. One last thing…the blinds in the master bedroom we’re missing slats and there are two street lights outside the windows. There was no way to make that room dark.

In a pinch, it works

This tiny house is nice and clean but a little rough around the edges. Some blinds were broke and no curtains so anyone could peek in. Had to stand on bed to turn on/off light and fan in bedroom. Back entrance where you enter has shaky wooden steps. Backyard has potential but was pretty unkept. Parking is right in front of the property so a little nervous being right by the street. Place is across the street from a Best Western Hotel so some traffic noise. Not the safest area to walk around.

Loved staying at The Starfish!

It was very quaint and centrally located. Description was extremely accurate. The A/C worked great and the water pressure and temperature or the water was right on point. The enclosed backyard was cute with a grill and a fire pit. My doggies enjoyed looking out the front from the living room. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

This is a spacious home in a good location. It is as advertised so bring your own coffee, tea, sugar etc. Small nice side yard. It was pretty comfortable for 5 people!
