This property was perfect for our stay. The bed was comfy, the ocean view from the deck was excellent and the shower was great. I especially appreciated the Kuerig coffee pot. My only concern, being an older person that is used to cable television, is it possible to have written directions as to how the TVs work? Not a big problem as we were out most of the day, but morning news is a must for us and a late night show is nice as well. We were down for the OBX car show so this location was perfect and close to everything. Dinner at Millers on the Waterfront was excellent. I hope we are able to comeback next year and maybe stay a little longer.

The view is gorgeous. Sunrises were beautiful every morning. You can hear the waves crushing from inside. It was wonderful. The condo itself is clean with everything you need. You have plenty of room in the condo and is very convenient to everything. Have already made plans to go back next year!

Spectacular View/ Cozy Vibe

My husband and I loved our stay at Starfish Wishes! The view from the balcony was by far our favorite. It was also relaxing to sit on the couch and enjoy the double door view of the ocean as well. It is perfect to have direct access to the beach! We enjoyed walking to Millers Seafood and Steakhouse in the morning for breakfast and of course their fresh warm blueberry hushpuppies. Gene was a great host. Easy to contact and willing to help with anything. We will definitely be staying there again!

I came down for a relaxing weekend getaway and this was the perfect place. This time of year is my favorite here. Even the rainy, windy day was enjoyable. Sitting on the sofa, looking out at the churning ocean, with the fireplace going.....so peaceful. Gene was SO accommodating!

Bijou on the Banks

This is a jewel of a place to stay in KDH. As others have said, it’s quite a climb but the view and location make it worthwhile. Starfish Wishes is very clean and comfortable. The entire location was quiet and we quite enjoyed our stay. Would definitely consider this condo again when we visit.
