Everything we needed

This house was perfect and well kept. It was clean and met all our needs. The pool was so nice and enjoyed by my family. It was nice to have all the pool toys and floats available. Plenty of board games, even a corn hole game and yard size connect four. We reserved for 2025 so we are all set. You will have no regrets with this beach home!

Home away from home!

The Starfish Cottage has become a home away from home! I have rented this house many times, and each stay gets better and better. The owners take great pride in continually making upgrades, including to flooring, painting, new bathroom fixtures, and most recently, all new kitchen appliances. The location and views can't be beat. Will be visiting again soon!

Wonderful vacation!

We loved this cottage and it was perfect for our family. It was well stocked, extremely clean and a one minute walk to the beach. The pool was well maintained. Further, we had some damage from a storm and Vacasa was there within hours to take care of the problem.

Perfect vacation home!

Starfish cottage has beautiful views, a great layout. It was clean and spacious - well stocked - we loved the thoughtful touches & multiple decks to see the ocean views. 4 good sized bedrooms were just what our crowd needed. We enjoyed the grill and gorgeous pool deck with sun, shade and a great outdoor shower! The dogs were safe and enjoyed being poolside too!

Old Guys Golf Trip

House was great and met our needs. Property is as advertised and outside area was an additional delight. The nice deck is great to hang out in the sun, but also a nice table / chairs under a roof overhang that provides shade. While we did not use the pool as the weather in April was just a tad cool for us, it looked great and another great area to enjoy. Very satisfied and would rent again as well as recommend to all needing a 4 br house w/3 bathrooms..

Great location!

This was the perfect house for our New Year’s family trip. The house was just as described. It is well stocked with everything you will need. It is located far enough away from the main town center so traffic is reduced. Being on the ocean side is nice so you can enjoy the view and sounds of the ocean. Will definitely come back!!

Wonderful stay

Beautiful property with wonderful ocean views including direct sunrise on ocean horizon. Wonderful spot for dogs as they have fence around backyard and upper deck. Garage is nice and big and pool was nice and clean. Beach chairs and toys were available. House was clean and cozy with board games and puzzles. Towards the end so less traffic and people on the beach. Beach access beside house is closed so a little walk but not bad. Overall we will go back

A disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a great house, pool and location. However, the place needs a lot of work. We were told there would be paper products and there were none. The shower liners in each of the bathrooms were black and gray at the bottoms with mold. It took them 2 days to bring out new ones. We had no Internet or cable upon our arrival. All that being said TurnKey did respond promptly to the Internet issue and even issued us a $35 credit for the lack of TV and Internet on our first day. They were always pleasant when we called.

Our stay at Starfish Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very nice stay at this vacation rental. The walk to the beach was a little further than my husband could do because of some heart issues but we were able to sit on deck and watch the waves come in. The children and grandchildren really enjoyed having a pool to swim in. The only issue was that the wind was up one day and got a lot of debris in the pool and they were unable to swim. We did have to get in touch with rental company about 2 issues 1.deck board sticking up 2.the grill was nasty. They got back to us quickly about both issues. The deck issue was resolved but the grill issue never really was.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We only have 6 people in our group. This house was the perfect size for us with an extra room as well. We loved the pool. The size is perfect. The fact that it is dog friendly was also awesome. The only disappointment I had was that the beach access close to the house was closed. No fault of Turnkey.

Great Little Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed the pool and overall setting of this cottage. I wished the living space was a little larger (mainly because I had two kids with me, along with several adults). The bedrooms were very roomy, although the beds didn't sleep the best for us. I really wish there was direct beach access. The views were pretty good. Overall was pleased with this house.

Great Property

The property was in a great location on Ocean Isle. It was great to see and hear the waves from the balcony. The private pool was a great place to hangout during our stay. The property was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen had all of the appliances and utensils that we needed. Perfect location for a beach get away.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was as advertised. It was clean, well stocked kitchen, views of the ocean and was just steps to the beach. When we thought we had an issue with the downstairs electricity, we called and got an immediate response with plans to come right out and remedy the problem. Turned out we fixed the issue ourselves and called back to cancel the maintenance trip. Good to know that if there had been an issue, it would have been taken care of in a timely manner. We had a great time with family and pets and would definitely stay at Starfish Cottage again.
