This was our fourth year at the Enchanted Sea Star and this visit like all the others, was exceptional. Right on the beach, fantastic ocean views, very quiet neighborhood at least during the times we were there. We appreciated the improvements to the ramp, appliance upgrades, furniture adds and especially appreciated the new grab bar in the bathroom which made the stay more safe and secure for one of our wheelchair bound guests.Thank you for a relaxing week!

Great home and great location right on the beach. Mother's Day weekend celebration could not have been better. Property is wonderful, clean and the host is easy to work with. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable and accommodated our family perfectly. Two fridges was wonderful for all the food and drinks we brought for the 3 day weekend. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. A great shaded patio underneath the home with a great breeze and beach toys. We enjoyed it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! Everything we were expecting. Beautiful home with everything we needed. The ramp was a must for my disabled husband in a power chair. The home was plenty big for him to get around in. He was able to utilize the under house area with no problems. And the deck was perfect for our pets to enjoy and not to get through the slats. Will definitely stay again!!

This is an older house and they have been slowly remodeling. It is a great location right on the beach with great sunrise views. Our 2 boys 15mo and 2.5y/o had a blast at the beach. It was so convenient to be able to walk right out. Dad set up camp in the morning and mom easily brought the boys over. Then lunch time was a quick walk back to the house. There are several beds so multiple adults could stay.
Happy family enjoying a beautiful beach sunrise
