Awesome property. The listing and photos were 100% accurate. The golf cart was a game changer. It holds a charge for a long time and will travel all around the town at the posted speed limit. It was so fast and easy to get to the beach. Definitely recommend this property.

Great house and host

We loved this house and the golf cart was a big plus for getting around the island. The house was very clean and the host replied quickly with any questions. We also paid for our pet but unfortunately she got sick and had to put her down, the owners were kind enough to refund our pet fee. Great host

Starfish Stay

The house was well decorated, clean, and well organized. There are a few areas that could be addressed. When we arrived, the trash can smell was so strong that it consumed the whole front area of the house. The use of the golf cart was great, but parking was hard to find, even with the listing of additional parking spots in the house binder. If you got to the beach early do not park in the upper spots, in the Spartanburg Beach area, as it is a challenge to back out, due to other golf carts and bicycles. The back-up horn on the golf cart is to loud!

Great Family Beach House

Overall was a fantastic place to stay with the family! A lot of great things to do with the family within 10 minutes by car or golf cart! My only negative is that the neighbors made us feel very uncomfortable when we arrived. It was hard to enjoy

4-20-25 Easter trip

Beautiful place to stay. Amenities great and bonus with the golf cart. Without it, we would have had a very difficult time making it down to the beach a half a mile. The only thing is the home is so close to a busy road. Lots of construction going on while we were there & people do NOT do 25mph. Also, there is not much of an area to sit outside with two toddlers & two dogs. Other than that, I would totally recommend. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay.

Beautiful Rental

We had a wonderful time at Starfish Villa. The unit had everything, including bikes, beach chair, beach towels and a dog crate! The golf cart made getting around easy and convenient. The unit was clean, modern and tastefully decorated. The location was perfect! We enjoyed being so close to the beach, park and running trail. Owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We would love to stay here again on our next trip to CB!

Great weekend getaway!

Very nice space that we found up to date and clean. No issues at all. Only thing would be the listing says fenced in back yard but it is a very small area with a grill and stones/mulch on ground so not big enough for our dog to run around.. but other than that it was great! Loved having the golf cart and close proximity to beach
