Excellent Birthday Week.

This was the second time that we have stayed at the Star Fish House this year. We now consider it our home away from home for our October vacations. The night kayaking was spectacular. We look forward to going back in 2016. Thank you Marianela for letting us enjoy your wonderful home.

Awesome!!!!

This was our 2nd time staying here and we will be back. The house is well kept and in a great location. The views are beautiful and you are close to the Ocean and Gulf, while also in a very quiet canal. The owners are always amazing and truly loving sharing their paradise with others. I can't say enough about this place and the owners.

Clean and comfortable home in a great location

We enjoyed sitting by the canal and watching the pelicans. The cabana club was great, we enjoyed the beach and the pool. Key colony and Marathon key were both lovely, with plenty of wonderful restaurants. You do have to go through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom, which was an issue at times, but other than that it was a lovely home and we would definitely consider returning!

Starfish house

We enjoyed our one week stay. The property was clean and in excellent condition. The property manager was very prompt in reacting to some minor problems that we encountered (dealing with supplies at the house) but nothing that was a significant problem. Overall we would stay again and probably will.

Beautiful House in Key Colony

We absolutely loved the starfish house. The decoration, theme and style was adorable. Super quick access to the ocean by boat. I would wake up early just to ru the boat out and watch the sunrise. The view out back was great for watching the sunset. Across the street was a great park for the kids to play at. We will definitely be looking to stay here again when we visit the keys.!

Perfect in every way

This is a beautiful house on a gorgeous canal. The place is immaculately maintained and decorated.Key Colony Village is one of the nicest areas of the keys. The beach club was an added bonus with a nice beach, pool and food/drinks. There are many activities and wonderful restaurants in that area. We traveled the rest of the keys during our stay and really found this area to be the one we liked best. The owners provided great customer service.

Wonderful Vacation House

We had an amazing time. The house was perfect for our family and kids. It's in KCB and what a great location. Being right on the water was the best as the kids could fish anytime. It was great to be able to rent a boat and keep it right at the house in the water. The house was very cozy, clean and plenty of room. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and friendliness. We will definitely be returning as it was a great vacation spot.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Starfish house! The location was great! We are missing the beautiful turquoise waters already! The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the outside patio area and even saw some manatees right off the dock! We enjoyed having access to the pool and beach at the Cabana Club. We also loved that we could dock the boat that we rented in the backyard. We had a good time snorkeling and fishing in the area! We hope to stay again another time!

Wonderful from start to finish

From the moment we walked through the front door and were greeted with a beautiful open floor plan house that opened up to a great outdoor space for grilling, hanging out and then jumping on the boat for a day of fishing or just riding around. The house was super clean, well decorated and stocked with everything we needed. Love this place and have already planned to come back next year. Highly recommend this for your next vacation.

Great location and property

The location of the property is great. In the center of the keys so getting to Key West or Key Largo just for a day trip is a breeze. The property has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The owner is quick to reply with any questions that may arise. Truly a great property. Please note the 3rd bedroom is tandem with 2nd which really is not a problem just good information to know. The cabana club is a nice amenity that is included with the rental. Thanks for everything Marianela.
