This was our 3rd summer family vacation on Seabrook Island, although it had been 7 years since we last visited. So happy to be back! First time staying in the Summerwind neighborhood. The Starfish cottage was fantastic with ample room for myself, husband, and our 2 young adult sons and nephew. I was impressed by the cleanliness when we came in. Access instructions were provided in advance and there was no problem with the combination door lock. The kitchen was one of the best stocked rentals I have stayed in. Plenty of pots and pans, glasses and utensils. The large teflon frying pan probably needs to be replaced though. Beds were very comfortable. Living room sectional and chair were of good quality and comfortable. Absolutely loved the screened in back porch with comfy furniture, ceiling fans and string lights! We rode our bikes to the beach a lot, but there are also parking spots at a few of the boardwalks. Would recommend renting a beach wagon as house does not come with one. Didn’t spend much time at the club pool. Water was very warm and cloudy. Was happy that amenity cards were included in this rental as some are not and you need to pay xtra. The Seabrook island app that you need to download to use for paying and getting in to pool and the Pelican’s Nest restaurant, was not user friendly and did not work well. Despite this, I loved our stay, the Starfish Cottage exceeded my expectations and would rent again. Seabrook Island is a beautiful getaway!
