It is in a good location for shopping and restaurants. I will say that if you have difficulty with stairs, then this may not be the right place. I appreciated the communication from Gene. His message prior to us leaving helped us to pack extra towels and things that we might need. Gene’s recommendations for restaurants were spot on. The condo was decorated cute and beachy, but the real showstopper was the view from the balcony. I would definitely recommend starfish wishes to friends and family. ##### Cindi Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara S.

The early check-in and keyless entry made arrival super smooth. The condo was clean and perfectly positioned right on the beach.One of our favorite features was the pair of cozy captain’s chairs on the balcony—perfect for watching breathtaking sunrise, dolphins playing in the waves, and pelicans and sandpipers flying by. The views are unbeatable!The location is excellent—just a short walk to delicious local spots like Noosa Beach Grille and Stack 'Em High for breakfast. We also enjoyed browsing souvenir shops and loved having an arcade and ice cream nearby for a fun treat.If you're looking for a peaceful, oceanfront retreat with great amenities and easy access to everything the Outer Banks has to offer, this is it. Highly recommend! ##### Keli S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria W.

You are right on the beach and the condo has easy access to the beach right from your balcony. This by far was the best part of the stay. The location is moments from a grocery store, liquor store and many other shops and restaurants. There is so much to do in Kill Devil, you won’t be disappointed with this location. The welcoming gift was such a nice surprise too. ##### Pamela B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris W. Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Starfish Wishes was great This was a perfect rental for being right on the beach. We had private beach access and a wonderful unobstructed view of the ocean. We sat on the deck every night watching the waves roll in. Gene was a great host and made the process easy. Plenty of places close by when picking meal locations. We found the Pokebox, Red Drum Grill and Taphouse, and Surfin’ Spoon to be great places. It is also close to a CrossFit gym where my wife enjoyed squeezing a mid day gym session in when we’d take a lunch break from the beach. Definitely recommend this location! ##### Chris W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean B. Oct 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic You can't beat the location. Plenty of restaurants and things to do within a short distance. Direct beach access from the condo. The condo itself was very clean and well-appointed. Loved the decor. Fantastic views from the deck. The owner, Gene, was very communicative and kept us up to date with cool things going on in the area, which was a nice touch. There are quite a few stairs to climb to get to the unit, but using the side stairs makes the climb a little bit easier than using the steep front stairs. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we can't wait to go back! ##### Sean B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathy B. Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Not a welcoming vibe Positives: Starfish Wishes has a great location and beautiful views. Lots of cute beachy decor touches. It was quiet and private. Negatives: The owner sent us explicit instructions prior to arrival about the bedding on the one bed. We were under no condition to sit on the quilt or rest a head on a decorative pillow. Those things were to be stored in a closet tub immediately on arrival. In other words, we could see them when we walked in but never again. I would never ask that of a guest. If something is that precious, it does not belong in a rental. Once the quilt was removed, there was one thin blanket on the bed and no spares anywhere else. If we were cold at night or wanted to use a throw while sitting on the sofa, we were out of luck. The owner also itemized the towels in the bathroom: two bath towels, one hand towel, and two washcloths. Again, no spares anywhere. With multiple dips in the ocean and sometimes several showers per person in a day, that is just not enough. Heaven forbid I wanted one towel to dry my hair and one for my body! The skimpiness extended to the paper goods provided. The bathroom tissue was gas station quality and there wasn't a box of Kleenex anywhere. The first thing we did on arrival was to jump back in the car to go buy one. Honestly, this may have been the first negative review I have ever written. I don't like to do that to anyone but the owner needs to know how his actions come across to visitors. ##### Kathy B.

The view from the balcony was by far our favorite. It was also relaxing to sit on the couch and enjoy the double door view of the ocean as well. It is perfect to have direct access to the beach! We enjoyed walking to Millers Seafood and Steakhouse in the morning for breakfast and of course their fresh warm blueberry hushpuppies. Gene was a great host. Easy to contact and willing to help with anything. We will definitely be staying there again! ##### Carol K.
