Great location. Beach access was just a minute down the street. The pool area in the fenced in backyard was a great place to lounge with our pup. Ocean views from the back deck were great. We can’t wait to come back!

The house was just as described. Loved the location and ease of being near a walkway. The pool was great and enjoyed by all. The manager was prompt to respond to a problem we had. We weren’t able to get into the property until an hour or so after the check in time because it wasn’t ready. Only negative!

We loved the cottage feel and it had everything, we went there after my Dad passed away and took my Mom and daughter, brother and her boyfriend... super clean and, you are practically on the Ocean, very nice pool.. We will stay here again, They had everything for everyone at all ages...I have saved to my favorites, for the fall

My family and I had a wonderful visit to the Starfish Cottage! This home has beautiful views for coffee in the morning, a short walk to the beach to enjoy the ocean, and a refreshing pool to take a relaxing dip in the afternoon. It includes everything you need to make a delicious meal at home (including a grill, which we used for fresh seafood several nights), and thoughtful amenities, like charging stations and plenty of hooks for hanging damp towels and bathing suits. The beds provide a comfortable place to rest after a day at the beach, or an afternoon touring one of the local sites. I have stayed at this home with friends, cousins, and most recently, my immediate family, and each time it has worked out perfectly. Don’t miss this gem in Ocean Isle!

This house is perfect for our family/friends of 6. We Love that we can take our dogs. The pool area is such a nice place to hang out all day! Beach access is 2 houses away. Although the handicap access is about a 1/4 mile away. I would recommend this house for smaller families. It’s perfect!

Other than Debby sending us home early we had a great stay. This house is positioned perfectly between the beach and the road. Beach access is two houses down and very easy to get too. The house is very cozy and fit 6 adults comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook dinners easily.

Beautiful home full of all the comforts of your home! A true home away from home. Quiet neighborhood and great location! 5 Stars!

We come to Ocean Isle every summer. This was the first time staying at this location. The house was clean and the perfect size for my family. We very much enjoyed the pool! We will definitely be back!

Easy walk to the beach. The house had lots of pool toys, beach toys, games for the kids. Perfect for a family!

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!

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!

This house was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed for the perfect stay! It was very clean and well maintained. The decor was cozy and the beds were super comfortable.

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.

What a great stay! Soooo close to the beach, you can see it from the deck! Pool was such a great addition to our stay! Perfect size and just great!!! Highly recommend!!

I love the east end of OIB- we’ve been coming for several years and this home for our needs perfectly.

Ashley -

Very nice house. I prefer ocean front however there were ocean views from most windows and deck. Very nice pool.

Jackie S. -

Home is absolutely precious and inviting. It was a perfect fit for our family of 6 adults. The pool was a wonderful addition and getting to and from the beach was a breeze. Would love to come here again!

Beautiful home with ocean views with very close beach access. The house was clean and the pool area is totally fenced with lounge chairs and lighting for the family to hang out. House has everything you need! Loved this house and Ocean Isle.

We loved the ocean views, gorgeous pool, layout of the home & all the small touches (pool cleaning, towel hooks, amazing outdoor shower, charging stations, great coffee maker). The spacious decks were perfect for coffee and meals. The home was immaculately clean and Vacasa made the rental/checkin/get help process easy. We had no issues but loved that they checked in to make sure. The beach was close (less than a block either way) and the only challenge was the steps to the beach access where we were (OIB has several accessible beach areas). Our dogs loved the decks and it was a great, safe space for them to roam within the fence. Could not be happier with our stay!

Kara -

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!

Kara S. -

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..

Warren W. -

House was sooo clean and had everything we need and it was in a great location!

Keika A. -

The house was very clean when we first came in. Instructions were well written and invisible. The rooms were very cute and the decorations were on point. The pool area was phenomenal and a super short walk up to the public beach. Super close to the public park, restaurants, and shops. I will absolutely rent here again!

Shikha -

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!!

Dianne S. -

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

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.

Cindy P. -

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.

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.
