Love it...Love it This home is beautiful, spacious & very welcoming place located just a walk away from the beach. I definitely recommend this property. Fully-equiped with everything you need or could imagine. We will be back!
Overall, the place was great for our family and well furnished. There was prompt communication with the host before during and after the trip including accommodating a request for a grill and for a pet. Location was close to public beach access.

Our stay was very comfortable. The unit is very well organized and very clean with all required utensils in place. Location is excellent as well. The best part - ability to see warter from deck and we enjoyed early morning sunrise by walking to the beach.

Thanks for staying at our beach home Andrea! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again!
We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful house, great location. Enjoyed watching the ships go by. We fished, boogie boarded, and swam. There were 3 generations of us. The house was perfect with 3 bathrooms. We really enjoyed the deck watching the night sky as well. Wonderful memories of a great holiday!

Really enjoyed our stay at The Blue Sea Star! You really can’t beat the location and proximity to jetty, playground and beach. Travelled with two littles and could walk / wagon easily. A few minor suggestions to truly be a perfect/exceptional stay. Would recommend this property for families.
Firstly the host was very responsive, which really made arrival and check out and everything in between stress free. House was clean with games and more. Ample relaxing places in and out. The views of the passing boats on the Getty, were breathtaking and so peaceful from the wrap around patio. Access to the beach just steps away. We really enjoyed our stay! Just what we needed!

Corey and their guests were great! They were extremely responsive and left our home in amazing shape. I would welcome them again and definitely recommended them to other hosts.
We stayed at the Blue Sea Star to celebrate my son’s birthday. It was the perfect set up for our group. So spacious, clean, and decorated so well! The location was perfect - only steps away from the beach and the jetty. It was quiet and peaceful. Most of all I appreciate Tam’s excellent communication and hospitality. We live in Magnolia and happened to lose power the day we were leaving to be at the beach. Tam set us up early to make sure we had somewhere to go with power and AC. I would highly recommend the Blue Sea Star!

About the host
Hosted by Tam Nguyen
I'm an avid traveler with and love exploring new places, cultures, and food! I love waking up super early and walking through the streets, hiking in landscapes with awesome views, and discovering hidden gems that may be defined as "sketchy". I enjoy cooking and experimenting with different and forcing my family and friends to be the judge. I eat extremely spicy food and am not afraid to try some really farfetched dishes.
