Starfish Bay
First off everything that was portrayed in the listing is spot on as it appears. The property was in pristine condition and absolutely beautiful. To have Roland there to get what we needed along with any problems ( which there weren’t any);to fix was a blessing and he was such a pleasure to have around. Contacting the owners when needed during the process of booking and what to expect was speedy and professional. I would recommend this property to ANYONE and we will be booking again here shortly. Thanks for a wonderful vacation . Louie M

Starfish Bay an Exceptional Bahamian experience!!
This was our 2nd time visiting Abaco! It was our first time staying at Starfish Bay and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our week long stay! Brandon and Lucy have an amazing property and accommodations that are second to none! This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house was immaculate and very well appointed with any and everything you could ever possibly need or want! The huge front deck overlooking the sea of Abaco was so great for morning coffee and the sunrise to the east! The back docks, in the narrows, were great too, especially if windy on the Sea of Abaco! The snorkeling right on property was amazing! Their caretaker, Roland was extremely helpful and so kind! Unfortunately, we never had the pleasure of meeting Sandrine, but I can say that she does an amazing job keeping the house so clean and fresh! We walked along the ocean on Eastern Shores road every morning! The house is private in its location but so close to all the amenities, such as Maxwells Grocery, the liquor store and some great bars and restaurants! We would highly recommend this property for your stay in Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island! We plan to book another stay next year! Thank you so much Brandon and Lucy, as well as Roland and Sandrine for proving such a great experience for our annual family vacation! Ginna and Matt D

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this ocean front property in Marsh Harbor! From the moment we booked to arriving was a breeze & the property was impeccably clean. The location was perfect & the communication with the property manager was seamless. One of the highlights was the dock, which was exactly what we needed for the size of our boat. It made our boating adventures hassle-free & convenient. The hosts truly went above & beyond to make us feel like we were home, providing everything we needed & more. Packing was a breeze since the have everything covered - just clothes, swimsuits, sunscreen & deodorant were all we really needed to bring (& any food). Even their digital guide had all your questions answered, even questions you didn't know you had. Now lets talk about the view! It was absolutely breathtaking, something you could wake up to & enjoy a cup of coffee & watch the sunrise. The amenities provided were top notch, ensuring we had a comfortable & memorable stay. Roland was incredibly friendly, helpful & available whenever we needed his assistance. Needless to say, we would highly recommend this VRBO to our friends & family, & we wouldn't hesitate to rebook. Another great thing about this spot is its proximity to all the other Cays in the Abaco Islands. It made exploring the surrounding areas a breeze & added to the overall enjoyment of our trip. Thank you very much for everything!

5 Star Resort Experience
By far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. The hosts have thought of everything. You will not find a nicer, cleaner, better appointed VRBO in the Bahamas. We enjoyed the breathtaking views from the oversized deck every morning and evenings. The protected dockage was ideal mooring for our boat. The location was perfect for exploring all the Abaco Cays via boat each day. Communication and accessibility with the house manager was easy. He was extremely helpful and courteous everyday. We will definitely return to Starfish and Mermaid Cove often. Thank you Brandon and Lucy for sharing your home and little piece of paradise with us.

EXCELLENT STAY
Our family of 6 stayed on the ocean side of the property (note pic shown of the large deck with ocean front views). This has easy walk in access to the ocean and although we had all adults, a great location for kids too. The home was spacious and open with 2 queen bedrooms and a Master. LARGE deck with chairs/tables, etc and a grill/sink area which was awesome! Full washer/dryer located in garage, pack less - which we love. We've stayed in numerous rentals and this was BY FAR the most outfitted with spices, k-cups and machine for coffee, tea bags, sugar cubes, all the cooking utensils/dish and glasses needed, extra ice machine, towels, robes, starter dental kit, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, starter sun block, beach towels and also a cooler to use while there (which was a huge help as we did day trips and brought snacks/beverages and lunches). Easy drive from the airport with grocery and liquor stores on the way, and also very close to the ferry dock. We used the kayaks, paddle boards, saw sharks and rays, turtles, starfish and really enjoyed the view. Everyday it was something new. The home is immaculate, clean, bright and lovely. Roland was so helpful and the owners were amazingly accommodating, helpful and kind. This is a rebuild after Dorian, and they have done a beautiful job on this property - highly recommended and we would definitely rent here again! The owners are awesome and so is Roland! Thank you Brandon and Lucy, you were wonderful! Hope to see you again soon!

I've been fortunate enough to stay in a few 5-star homes/resorts... Starfish Bay far exceeds any of them. The attention to detail and all the amenities is beyond expectations. Every detail has been attended to. The place is immaculate, and the view is nothing short of spectacular. The outside deck is expansive. Lusea and Brandon were in communication making sure we had everything we needed and providing suggestions on activities. They have a caretaker on site who was very attentive and just pleasant to talk with. If there was a higher rating than 5 stars, I would have given it on this review.

Amazing house, hosts, location!
Close to the Marsh Harbor airport and about anything else you want to see, this house will surprise you. It's brand new construction, totally off grid and absolutely stunning! The hosts listen closely to suggestions. We made 2 and they're already being acted on. You'll find 2 true master suites. The attention to detail in this home are evident. Don't think off grid means limited. In this case, it means better and more reliable. Paddle boards and kayaks available and you'll want to use them in the calm waters just off your porch. Yes, even the beds are super comfy. As an investor with several short term beach properties, I can only wish my properties were as well equipped and managed. It's the little things that make big differences... shampoos and soaps, spices, coffees, sugars, beach towels, AN APP with suggestions for restaurants, sites, every question you might have about the house... come on! Brandon and Lucy make everyone else look baaaad! Thank you both for making our Abaco experience the best!

Exceptional Property and Host
Starfish Bay is an exceptional property! The home is absolutely beautiful, in immaculate condition and nicely appointed both inside and out, including items like a gas grill, air fryer, Ninja smoothie maker, and lots of additional linens/beach towels. And the water lapping the rocks just below the deck is as soothing as it is beautiful. Since the property is located at the end of the peninsula, it provides access to both sea and sound which is great. We found ourselves switching from side to side to enjoy the water and views depending on weather and time of day. Having the water toys and dock available was a great bonus. I cannot say enough about our hosts, Brandon and Lucy. Communication was quick and easy from start to finish. It is very apparent that they care deeply about their property and desire to create the perfect getaway for their guests. Our family of 5 stayed at Starfish Bay and rented a boat with hopes of spending all of our time exploring the Abacos by water. Although the weather did not cooperate every day, Brandon was always quick to offer suggestions for alternate places/activities to enjoy. His extensive knowledge of the area greatly enhanced our stay. The caretaker, Roland, was attentive and always had a smile on his face. He was a joy to meet. One thing to note....While the property itself was stunning, Marsh Harbour and much of the island is still recovering from Dorian. If you are exploring the Sea of Abaco and surrounding areas via boat, there are numerous options for activities/dining but those options are limited on the island.

Perfect spot in the Abacos
I’ve spent a ton of time in the Abacos and the location and layout of this property is amazing. You have a calm channel to keep your boat docked in and the ocean in front of your house for snorkeling, paddle boarding and relaxing. The location is also perfect to island hopping. It’s a great getaway for families or solo travel because it’s private and safe. I will definitely be rebooking this property as soon as possible. Also, the owners and the caretaker of the property are super responsive and really helpful. Five stars all the way.

Wonderful property
The house is beautiful, and the views are amazing. There is new safe dockage where I felt comfortable leaving my new 35 foot center console. The owners and staff exceeded our expectations. The property manager and groundskeeper were available 24/7 if we need assistance with anything. The house was fully stocked and ready for our arrival. There is still construction going on in the area, we were aware of this prior to booking. It did not cause us any issues. I never heard workers before 7:30 in the morning and only Monday through Friday. One member of our group worked from home the entire trip and had no problems with Internet connection for online meetings. I would recommend this property.
