WALK TO GULF BEACH ACCESS! DOG FRIENDLY!
Welcome to Starfish Stays. Walk to beach access. This totally renovated Key West inspired one bedroom ground floor apartment is setting the standard on Manasota Key as one of eight units at Starfish Stays on the unique Manasota Key of Southwest Florida.
Starfish stays is an easy 5 minute jaunt to the beach for gorgeous morning walks, shell and shark teeth collecting, swimming, sitting under an umbrella, basking in the sun or watching the most beautiful sunsets of the Gulf. Plenty of complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels in the unit. Two custom built outdoor showers hit the spot to rinse away the sand and salt. We make it easy for you to relax and enjoy your vacation.
The grounds of Starfish feature a brand new pergola complete with gas firepit, bbq, cornhole games and seating for eight!
The fantastic Stump Pass is 3 miles south of the property. Here you can fish, hike the nature trails, launch a boat or kayak or just relax on the secluded beach. Stump Pass is an excellent location for finding shark teeth. Parking is only $3 per day.
Blind Pass is one mile north on the key. There are nature trails, docks for fishing, kayak launches, and playground and picnic areas. There are public restrooms and outdoor showers as well as more beautiful beaches. Parking is free here and abundant.
Starfish Stays was completely renovated inside and out. Our property features 8 total vacations units. 1D is brand new one bedroom ground floor apartment and was completed April 2020. Everything is new down to the stainless appliances, queen size bed and custom countertop. Starfish 1D boasts a brand new queen bed and a sofa bed w/ upgraded brand new memory foam queen size mattress for added comfort. We offer a fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, and all linens.
Please note: The maximum number of guests in 1D is four (4) persons (children included).
Starfish Stays has eight units on the same property! Four two bedroom units, 3 studios, and a one bedroom unit. We can accommodate larger groups in several units.
We have our own private beach access, a TWO minute walk to the sand. Looking to avoid the big beach crowds? Our private beach is wide, sandy and PRIVATE.
