We really didn’t need to bring anything except our clothes and food. The host thought of everything and it was the best rental we have ever stayed in. The rental was very clean and updated. The short walk to the beach and the pool were very easy. We were worried about parking but we were able to park one car out front and one in the garage and luckily there was parking at the end of the row of homes for us to park with a short walk. The host was very responsive and we will definitely be staying here again and referring the rental to friends and family. ##### Melissa T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy P., Alabama Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place for a Family House was nice & had plenty of room for our 4 Adults & 3 Children party. Everything is nice, clean & well maintained. The only small thing I had concerns about was the dock area. It had shards of wood & screws sticking up which was a concern with us & children stepping on & hurting our feet. One of the boards to the steps to the dock is loose & about to fall off which is a falling hazard. Other than that everything else was great. ##### Amy P.

Our family of four stayed late July and loved the space, location and amenities! We could have comfortably added another family in the home. All the kitchen supplies and beach supplies you need and more. We made use of the paddle board, fishing supplies and beach wagon. Loved the location on the canal - we saw four manatees right off the private dock! Only saw them one afternoon, so not sure if it was a rare occurrence but it was amazing. Very easy, short walk to the beach, thanks to the provided wagon. The water quality was excellent and the same as the rest of Mexico Beach (was initially worried about being close to the canal outlet). Would definitely stay here again! Kristin was amazing at communicating. Walked to Shell Shack for fresh fish, walked to coffee shop, Crazy Beach Pizza, Marina and the adorable shops. Location was PERFECTION! Pool was clean and comfortable. Mexico Beach is a gem of a town and we can't wait to return! ##### Rachel T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke C.

Sep 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cousins Weekend The Starfish Cottage proved to be the perfect house for seven adult cousins of various ages to get together and enjoy each other’s company for a long weekend. The house is spacious and spread out enough over three floors that we never felt cramped or crowded. We appreciated the cleanliness of the house and enjoyed all the comforts of home while being in a beautiful beach area. On the backside of the cottage is a water canal with a boardwalk. We weren’t able to stroll around it as it is currently under repair, but once it is completed it will be nice to walk around to the pool. The Waterside Village pool is large, the water sparkling clean, and the design provided ease of entry for all ages. Our weekend proved to be a beautiful one and we enjoyed being able to walk across the highway to access the beach. The only concern with the house was the two levels of stairs that made it a little difficult for some to maneuver, but we managed them very carefully. Everyone agreed they would love to return very soon! ##### LaJuana B.

We enjoyed our stay there. ##### Lisa P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqui S. Jun 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The house was very clean and comfortable. Host has some nice amenities for enjoying the beach. Great stay. Lovely furnishings, well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds. Lot’s of stairs with no bedrooms on first floor so not for people with mobility issues. Was great for my family though. Would definitely recommend to friends. ##### Jacqui S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea P.

The house was very nice and the furniture was comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked, including usable knives. While the master bedroom was beautiful and very comfortable, I don't recommend anyone who is sensitive to light for waking stay in there. The sun rises directly into the bedroom. It was still gorgeous! ##### Andrea P.
