we had a nice Thanksgiving break at the Shining Starfish

Took my family and my parents down for Spring Break. The house was perfect. The pictures do not do it justice. The house is very clean and had everything we needed. The backyard is the perfect private oasis. My kids and I also enjoyed the putting green. The 2nd master bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my parents. The neighborhood is very quite and peaceful. The beach is very close by and Atlantic Ave is minutes away for dining and shopping. We will look to stay again!

The pool area and putting green are simply amazing. We spent our entire trip in the backyard and enjoyed every second. If we needed to get out of the sun, we went into the tiki hut or under the covered patio. Comfortable beds and great gourmet kitchen. Thank you!!!

Scott was a great host with excellent communication. The property is the nicest house on the block which is great! The street is quiet, and you can be anywhere in minutes.
We were happy to see the house extremely clean with a great layout when we walked in. It's also a huge bonus that the house has two master bedrooms. And then you go out back! It felt like a resort—the section where the TV and dining table is excellent. We spent a lot of time in the morning and at night here. The tiki hut was a great place to nap and get out of the sun after being in the pool. The putting green was great for keeping my parents and me busy. We kept saying how the backyard felt like a resort.
We all kept saying how this was much better than being in a hotel and had everything we needed for a great vacation. I'd highly recommend staying here!

Fabulous place for a family vacation
This house was perfect- beautifully appointed interior, comfy beds, a great living/dining area, and a cook’s dream of a kitchen. Owners were very responsive and lovely to deal with. The pool and extensive exterior were stunning. Even the pool service guy who came to clean it mid-week was friendly and helpful. We cannot recommend highly enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house! We stayed with 4 adults and 5 kids, and there was something for everyone and we each had a great time! The house was clean, the back yard and pool were wonderful! There was a small problem with the AC while we were there, and the owners were very responsive and had the property manager there within a few hours to fix the problem! The beach was about a 10 minute ride, with plenty of parking! We hope to be back someday! Thank you!

Stayed at this fab house with 10 other girls for a bach party. Fantastic! Plenty of space, and plenty for room for getting ready, showers (the outdoor shower was AMAZING!)
Scott was SO responsive (I had a million questions!). We had a great time!
The house is in a perfect location - downtown Delray/Beaches are a 5 minute uber.
We had a private chef come and it was amazing! We used the outside seating area. A massive rainstorm happened during it, and we were covered!
The pool and tiki area feel like you are on a tropical island! The backdrop is stunning and the pool at night is lit up!
We didnt have enough time to do the putting green but was very cool!
The house also has everything you need - plenty of towels, beach chairs! The coolers are a bit small - but we made it work!
Would totally rent again and highly recommend for a girls weekend! This house is a true gem!!!!

Great to have one master bedroom downstairs. Host was very responsive to answer questions or needs. Highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing week at this property. Everything was sparkling clean and the house had everything we needed to make for an amazing spring break. Our two active boys spent hours swimming, putting on the green and playing on the front lawn; we swam with them but also spent plenty of time lounging in the comfy deck chairs. The kitchen had everything and we made tons of lovely meals and ate inside and outside. Beds were comfortable (kids loved the large bunk beds!) and there was plenty of privacy for anyone who needed it. We were also five minutes from the beach and were able to fit in minor league baseball, a water park, and several fantastic restaurants during our stay! We hope to return in the future.

Spring Break with 10 year old Granddaughter!
Communication was fine by text because communicating by email was bad when they get your email wrong until hours before you get there and they tell you not to worry. They had my last name misspelled on email address. So then I finally got the code to the property.
The house was fine and was enough room for six adults and a 10 year old granddaughter. The backyard was pretty and tropical. March is still pretty cool for a Texan so the heated pool at supposedly at 85° was still cold to get in. When we got there the pool was not clean but our granddaughter still got in that Sunday by Wednesday the pool had been cleaned.
They have everything in the house you need for both indoors and if you go to the beach. We loved the putting greens. The girls loved the shopping and going to Orlando and the guys loved the golfing.

We spent the week at Shining Starfish-the neighborhood was quiet. The backyard is a true oasis--we spent most of our time at the pool or in the covered deck area. Worked out well for our family of 4. Thank you, Scott, we look forward to returning.

The perfect Florida hideaway
This property was perfect for a meeting of 5 old friends : big enough for everyone to have a quiet corner if they wanted to or for everyone to gather for cocktail hour or preparing dinner in the large , well equipped kitchen.
The backyard and pool area are very well designed and the night lighting is gorgeous.
We all recommend without restrictions!

This home was very clean ( and I am a picky clean freak)
and well-equipped in terms of kitchen things, towels, and basics. Very comfortable for extended family reunion of 9 people. The backyard setting was great - much nicer than depicted in the pics! Lots of seating and shaded areas for lounging. Tiki hut gives resort-like feel and outdoor shower was fabulous! Minor complaint about some bugs and things floating in pool, but since we don't know how much "stuff" is acceptable for a pool to be considered completely clean, not a big deal.
This was communicated somewhere in the listing, I think, that one of the bedrooms is accessed via passing through another bedroom so just something to note if privacy is an issue. It wasn't an issue for us.
Scott, the host, was very responsive and easy to work with. We rarely left the house during our short weekend, so didn't give 5 stars to neighborhood, however it was very easy to get to store for food, etc. and short drive to restaurants.

Amazing spring break!
The pictures don’t do this house justice. We woke every morning to feeling like we were at our own resort. The pool and lush backyard are amazing. The house was properly equipped to meet our needs. We’ve already rebooked for next year. My grandkids can’t wait.

I spent a week at the property during COVID times. The backyard is all you need to focus on. Yes, the house was clean and nice, but we spent 12+ waking hours a day in the back yard oasis. The pool, the tiki hut, the putting green, the trees and shrubery make you feel like you are in a world far, far away. Yet, 95 and the beach are each 5 minutes away. The pictures posted do not do the backyard justice. There are some nuances with the house itself, but they are minor and the owner (Scott) was incredibly responsive from start to finish. I would recommend without reservation (but get a reservation! ;))

We had a wonderful experience at this property! The house was clean, updated and well-equipped. The pool area was wonderful and received much use. It was just what we were looking for - for our socially distanced family vacation. The owner was available for questions and communication prior to and during our stay as needed! Would definitely recommend this property!
