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.

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.

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!!

Beautiful location, perfect for large groups

We had a fantastic time at the Seastar. Group of 13 Adults joint together for a 50th birthday party from all over the US. Pretty much, everyone had their own private room. We had three handicap people and the elevator was perfect. Also was great for the day. The private chef came in to cook for us. The kitchen was plenty large enough, so none of us were running into each other. Please note bring coffee grounds, we ended up buying a Keurig. But the all stores are right around the corner, including a Whole Foods. Beautiful views from all of the balconies. Highly recommend. There is a small update to the views lol, they have built the house across the street. But it loses you nothing. You can see the ocean out of every window.

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 !!!

spring break

great location and house! right across from beach entrance, lots of bedrooms, lots of kitchen seating at the two oversized tables for big dinners and card games! suggestion: add a hot tub!!!! and maybe a few bikes to the property to use. The wagons for the beach were useful, as well. Needs a few minor repairs to some blinds and kitchen fridge drawers...but most definitely not anything major. beds were super comfortable, and showers very nice!!

Excellent home to stay in

The house, amenities, and location were perfect. Everything was exactly as described and we had an incredible time. Do know, though, that if staying for a prolonged period (more than 3 days) you will need to provide yourself with additional paper towels, dishwasher/laundry detergent, etc as you only get one of each at check-in. Also don't forget to bring your beach towels as none are provided!

Wonderful family vacation

Our family loved the house, especially the pool. The big kitchen with the large appliances made cooking for our family of 12 much easier. The two large dining tables provided plenty of room for the family to eat together or play games at night. The location is less than a 5-minute walk to the beach entrance making it easy to go back and forth from the house. It was easy to get to restaurants and stores on Scenic 98 with a golf cart. Highly recommend Captain Dave's for a great seafood dinner with the family. I was worried about the reviews I read about the traffic on Scenic 98 ruining the front balcony. We spent quite a bit of time on the balcony, especially in the mornings and at night, and did not notice the traffic so that it kept us from enjoying the time out there. There are a few simple things that wouldn't cost much that would make the house a little more convenient. There's nowhere to hang your towels for any of the showers. Nor is there anywhere to put your soap and shampoo in the showers except on the floor. The most basic things like salt and pepper, hand soap in the kitchen, kitchen garbage bags, etc. are not provided. A couple of heads up: 1) No rafts or beach toys are provided. They have a policy that if you buy some at a local store and leave it behind, they'll charge you a "haul away" fee. This means you either must take them home in your luggage or throw them away at the end of your stay. 2) There is no access to the lake behind the house.
