Escape from Reality

The house itself and location was perfect for our family escape from reality! My husband, our 3 adult children, their spouses and children had a wonderful 8 days/nights! The house allowed for plenty of space for 11 of us, and the location was ideal. We all stayed in the 5 large bedrooms of the main house and did not feel crammed for space. The house is beautiful and the pool/back porch area was perfect for occasional breaks out of the full sun! The short walk to the beach was convenient for going back & forth throughout the day. I highly recommend this property!

Perfect beach home with private pool

Property manger was very easy to work with. Great communication. Process was very easy getting in and out. Enjoyed this beautiful beach house with a private pool! Very easy access to the beach with beach chairs that were set-up for us. We had 3 couples with plenty of room. Very clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Downside, not enough kitchen supplies and need better toilet paper! Would recommend this vacation beach home!!

Family

The house is nice with a decent location a few houses away from the crowds. However it is not the best house for people on different schedules as it’s very open and small sounds travel and echo. There were several broken items when we arrived and the property manager was very responsive in taking care of what he could in a timely manner.

Perfect for a large group

Star of the Sea was the perfect setting for our group’s beach trip. The kids loved having a sleepover in the bunk room, and each couple was appreciative of having their own king sized bed. Being able to see the beach from the pool was a big plus, as was being able to see the pool from the living area. Would definitely stay here again!

Just what we needed!

We were very pleased with our stay. Some of the handles on doors, windows and faucets need to be tightened- especially the back door as it kept coming off. But that is the only issue we had. The house was beautiful and in a great location. It was well stocked and you can’t beat the sunsets. Latoya was always available and helpful!

Beautiful home w/great views and location!

The home was beautiful w/amazing views and the location is perfect! My grandchildren (ages 3-10) loved the bunk room! We’re actually going to copy the design in our new home! In fact, I’m planning on incorporating a lot of the same elements in our new home! While we had a few issues (pool heater did not work, grill burners were rusted out (unable to use) and the pots and pans are in need of replacement, upstairs AC unit didn’t work one evening) during our stay, the management team at Beyond Blue Vacations were quick to respond. I will most definitely miss the view from the master bedroom!

Perfect location , plenty of room

The place was completely updated and very comfortable. There were six adults and three kids under the age of seven. It was completely updated and very nice. The only thing I would mention is they could have had a few more blankets around some of the nights we were there got kind of chilly, and there were not extra blankets for the beds. Also, they could probably update their pans and pots as they were some with Teflon coating that had been scraped off. Other than that everything was wonderful. I’m not.

Terrible Check In

4pm check in time finally in by 5pm. Construction still going on. They were hurrying to get out - not their fault. Poor planning by the rest all group. Some work not complete - hand rails they told us about but no toilet paper holders and minor things like that. Terrible bug prion the kitchen. Everything was clean but hadn’t been sprayed in a while. I understand bugs on the coast but this was ridiculous. This Beyond Blue group is not someone we will ever use again…
