About this property
Stay on Famous Pass-a-Grille Beach 1 bedroom sleeps 4
From the StarFish's front door to Famous Pass-a-Grille Beach is 3 houses and 3 houses to the Bay. The location is the whole show, and it is a good one.
These Bungalows have won Traveler's Review Awards three years running, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
I grew up on this property. My family has been on this corner since the early 1980s, and the StarFish Bungalow is the one I recommend to couples. One real bedroom with a queen bed, an updated kitchen, a dining area by the windows, and a pebble-floor shower that feels wonderful on beach feet.
THE HONEST PART
The sofa bed sleeps two more, so four can stay, but the StarFish is snug at four. Two people have all the room they need.
OUTSIDE
Beach chairs and gear are included. There is an outdoor shower for sandy feet, and out front is the communal pavilion all four Bungalows share, with covered seating and a grill. It is not a private patio, and it is friendlier that way.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Pass-a-Grille is 31 blocks long and walk able end to end. Dinner and shops are on 8th Avenue, the sunset piano is at Paradise Grille, and the bay is a one-minute walk if you want to fish or watch for manatees. The dog beach is 5 to 10 minutes on foot, and dogs are welcome for $100 per pet.
One free parking spot is included, and the linens are the good kind. We live close by and answer texts in minutes. Nightly, weekly, and monthly stays welcome.

Cute property, great location. My adult daughter and I stayed here and loved it. We enjoyed the outdoor lounge areas and loved walking to the beach multiple times per day. We'd love to come back!

beach-friendly amenities. We’d be happy to host you again anytime on Pass-a-Grille Beach.
Not even a block to the beach! Easy parking, clean and well equipped. Easy communication with the host. Second time we stayed at this property, and will stay again. There is beach yoga most mornings a couple blocks away.

Thanks so much, Bruce, for reviewing StarFish. It was great to read that you liked being not even a block to the beach and the parking. You are always welcome at StarFish.
The apartment was charming and clean, and in a fantastic location. We spent very little time indoors because the beach and restaurants are all located only blocks away. We look forward to visiting again.

Great location and cozy bungalow. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and pans, etc. Beds were comfortable, and there were beach chairs / towels handy as well. Short walk to beach, paradise grill, the hurricane, and dog beach! We had a wonderful visit.

Thank you, glad you had a great visit. Nice to hear the kitchen had everything you needed and the beach chairs got some use. That short walk to the beach, Paradise Grille, and the dog beach is our favorite part too. Hope to see you back at StarFish soon.
The property was perfect for us. Great location and perfect for our small dog. The property was well outfitted and very clean. We were very satisfied with this rental and would rent it again on future trips to Pass-a-Grille.

Thank you, glad everything was clean and had what you needed, and that it was a good fit for your dog. We'd love to have you back at StarFish next time you're in Pass-a-Grille.
The location was perfect. Just steps to the beach. The outside area was great for relaxing with a good book and catching up with my girlfriend. Pass-a-grille is the perfect place to stay for a quiet beach stay. Planning on returning next year.

Half a block from the beach access, and very close to The hurricane restaurant, French Riviera breakfast was hella-yummy.. I will seek future bungalow rentals in the near future.Parking registration was easy by host. Bungalows are warm and cozy. Bed and sofa were very comfy.. plenty of plates, eating utensils. Huge fridge for supplies. Outside shower

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We love being half a block from the beach and just a short walk to The Hurricane down the street, and it's great to hear the bed was comfy and the outside shower came in handy. We'd love to have you back at StarFish.
Convenient to the beach… very cozy… could use a lil TLC … but overall a nice stay

Thank you for your review and for choosing our place! We're glad you found it cozy and convenient to the beach. We appreciate your feedback about the TLC and are already looking into ways to make improvements. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!
Great host and location! Steps to the beach and local restaurants. Having access to laundry was great. Beach towels and chairs are provided so don’t pack. Parking is on the street and whole side of the street is reserved for limited access which was nice. Will definitely go back.

The dehumidifier provided enough white noise so we never heard a neighbor or outside traffic. However, if you want total quiet, bring ear plugs. Not a compliant, just an observation.
