Easy Living 
We had a great stay! Love this house. We are a family of 5. The house has plenty of room and was very CLEAN and bright. Which Is important to me. It felt brand new. The pool and hot tub were great to retreat to. Thomas gave us a late checkout which was so helpful as our flight home was at night. The house is very close to the beach and the shopping center so it was convenient for dinners, Whole Foods, etc. definitely would recommend to anyone looking to explore Naples!

Lovely house and pool! Very clean and comfortable. Close to beach and restaurants.
My extended family came to Naples for my father’s 80th birthday. (My parents have a condo in Naples). My husband, sister and I rented starfish cottage so that we would be close to them and also have a more relaxing set-up than 2 hotel rooms. The house decor was lovely, the furnishings seemed new and the kitchen was very well-appointed with everything we needed. We hosted a barbecue one night by the pool with birthday cake for my dad – the rest of the family oohed and aaahed about the house and pool. Each morning we would walk to the beach for some exercise – ended up stopping each morning at the restaurant at la playa hotel for brunch and mimosas! Thomas was extremely responsive and helpful as well. We would definitely come back and rent starfish cottage again!

Perfect
This house was perfect for our family. Everybody loved the pool, especially the kids, and really appreciated that there were pool and beach toys available for use. The house is also located close the beach, which was very convenient. Would absolutely stay in this house again.

A gem of a house
I really liked the photos for Starfish and the house certainly lives up to its impression. Clean and modern – good style furnishings. The pool is a welcome alternative to the beach and is warm – the sundeck spacious. Great location if you like biking to the beach. No complaints whatsoever – Thomas the manager – I felt was always available if we needed him – not that we did! Overall fab and highly recommended.

Naples – 3 bedroom vacation home near the beach
My family and I saw this brand new vacation home listed with so many amenities and it looked fabulous in the pictures. We decided to book it and when we arrived we were amazed that everything was exactly as it shows in the pictures. A beautiful home with 3 bedrooms where we took the King Master, my parents took the Queen bedroom and the kids had fun in their own twin beds in the third bedroom. The home is very spacious, immaculately clean and everything is new. It looks like a lot of love was put into this home. The outside has a front porch area for quiet reading and the back pool oasis which even includes a nice spa is surrounded by beautiful flowers and palm trees. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach and evening trips to restaurants at Mercato. The property manager Thomas was very courteous and also available for any of our questions. We will definitely be back.

Don’t Pass This One Up!
This home is fabulous along with the customer service from Thomas, who manages the home. We travel extensively, rent many homes and we were very impressed. The house is beautifully decorated with everything you need including bikes, beach chairs, etc. Everything is new and so much attention to detail. The location is great in getting to beaches, shops and restaurants. The pool/spa area is amazing. Loved getting in to the heated pool at the end of the day! The outside area is just as beautiful as the inside of the house. Thomas left us some welcome items that far exceed what you would normally have anywhere else. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful stay and the excellent guest services!

Very nice property and management!
The house is gorgeous inside . The poll is heated, the kids loved it . We came at the end of November so it was perfect the pool temperature. They have bikes in the garage . We ride them to the beach , it took us 10 min. All restaurants and shopping places are ten minutes away , which was very convenient. Definitely we will come back for our future vacations and we definitely recommend this property to others. Adrian from GA

Beautiful – Clean – Private – Great Service
Great experience. Property was spacious, clean, and well maintained. We really enjoyed the backyard and pool. Nice private setting. Thomas was extremely friendly and responsive to any question during our stay. We chose this area to be close to beach and Whole Foods. I highly recommend THE 101 and Thomas. We’ll be back.

Nice modern house with perfect location
The cottage is a very nice pool house just a couple of blocks from Mercato (the main nightlife hub in Naples) and the beach. The house is nicely outfitted with comfortable, modern decor, and the manager Thomas was always available to answer any questions. If you are visiting Naples you really can’t go wrong with this property.

Starfish Cottage is a Lovely Oasis in Naples
Starfish Cottage offers all the amenities. Close to the beaches in Naples, the property is meticulously maintained, and very comfortable. The pool is beautiful, and there are plenty of beach supplies for everyone’s needs. Thomas is a gracious, thoughtful host who can assist with any questions one might have. We would absolutely rent Thomas’s property again for a future vacation. Loved it!

Extremely clean and comfortable
This home was beautiful! We were very pleased and would love to come back with my family. We loved the outside, especially that the pool is separate from the seating area so our child didn’t run in the pool without supervision. The house was incredibly clean and very modern and well maintained. I was surprised at the fact that the pictures were exactly how the house really is. We will definitely be coming back another time!

Great Location!! Super Modern and Clean!!
I took my 16 year old daughter and her friend for a girls trip and it was the perfect house. The house was so clean and organized. I am not a fan of dark, old, and knick knacks around and this was just perfect. Everything was modern and up to date. We were not in the house much but I appreciated the fact that I was able to do a load of laundry and they even had detergent available. This was a great convenience. I walked to Vanderbilt beach every morning and got coffee at a little shop down by the beach. Would definitely be interested in coming back to this cute little house!!

Cute on the smaller side cottage
Very well located and equipped. The property manager, Thomas is exceptional. His responsiveness is impressive, and always ahead of the game. This cottage is 2 miles from white sand and cristal clear ocean, and 1 minute from Mercato – a shopping plaza with restaurants, movie theater and Wholefoods. We’d consider going back.

Comfy, modern, & feels like home at the beach
This house appears to be recently redone and recently furnished/decorated. It was nicely decorated in a modern style. We oohed and aged as we entered it for the first time. Comfortable couches. Xfinity cable also kept the kids entertained when we needed it. Everything in the house was in good shape and looked pretty new. There was plenty of space for our family, with a pull-out couch in the front living room and that room has French doors so you can make it semi private, with an armoire for clothing and belongings. There was also a booster seat/ portable high chair and a pack & play for anyone with little ones. There were a few board games in the house and some beach/pool toys in the garage, along with beach umbrellas and chairs, and some bikes (a few adult bikes and one child.) we had everything we needed there- laundry, kitchen items, etc. (although a heads up: only a Keurig machine and not a regular coffee maker. There had been some K cups left there during our stay so we were good to go.) Thomas, the property manager, was in touch to make sure everything was going smoothly and everything was okay. We felt we could have had any issues handled right away, but we did not have any. He was great and helpful throughout the entire process. We liked the backyard and landscaping. The pool was great- pool heat was great even when it was about 85-90 each day we were there. It even has a large first step area into the water where our small children could play without having to get into 3+ feet of water right away. As someone else mentioned, I believe, the landscapers came Thursday morning to work in the yard. The neighborhood was nice and quiet- completely residential and a mix of locals’ homes and some vacation rentals. It was in a nice location situation between the Tamiami Trail full of just about any business, store, etc. and the beachfront properties. 5 minute drive to Vanderbilt beach (parking garage) and not much further to Delnor- Wiggins State Park (beach) which was just beautiful (beach parking.) “Downtown” Naples- 5th Street and shopping was about a 20 minute drive, so not too bad. We enjoyed the Tommy Bahama and Sea Salt restaurants, plus Kilwin’s Ice Cream down that way! We also drove to spend a day on Marco Island which was a great day trip. The Esplanade there was a great place to find a restaurant.
