Witness breathtaking sunrises from its open porch, and spend your days kayaking to St. Vincent's Island or simply lounging in a hammock with an ocean view. ## Reviews 9.8 Exceptional ### Entire home 3 bedrooms2 bathroomsSleeps 7 ## Popular amenities - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Starlight by the Sea, the porch, the view, straight from your dreams The beauty of the setting of this home is unmatchable. From the large open porch, view pristine white sandy beaches of Indian Pass with multiple species of sea birds, enjoy watching dolphins in the Gulf, and experience stars at night like you've never seen them. Even night owls will want to awaken for the spectacular sunrises peeking above the Western tip of beautiful St. Vincent's Island, a National Wildlife Refuge just a short kayak trip away. Once you've stayed at 'Starlight by the Sea' you'll never want to leave--it happens to everyone. This home was designed by the owners for fun for the entire family, all ages and including the 4-legged members as well. Indian Pass is the dog friendliest beach you'll ever find. Like horses? We're horse friendly, too. Ride the 5000 acre Buffer Preserve or the 8000 acre Box R Ranch, or with permits and tail bags, ride the lovely beaches of Cape San Blas. There's also great fishing, boating, and golfing. After all this activity, relax swinging in the hammock, sunning on the open deck, or reading a good book in the shade of the veranda. Then stroll the beach for a magnificent sunset. It truly is magical. WHAT'S NEW: We now have 2 ocean kayaks for our guests to use at no extra cost. We do not provide lifejackets so you will need to bring your own or rent them locally. IF YOUR IDEA OF A GREAT VACATION IS... To gently awaken in bed with a view of a huge red sun peeking over the horizon and the sound of seagulls and waves lapping the shore To sit on a breezy porch with a panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico and watch dolphins frolicking in blue water and blue herons walking along a snow white beach To eat sunset dinners al fresco while watching the Gulf of Mexico turn an iridescent blue against a pink sky To lounge on comfortable chairs looking up at star-filled skies and moonlight shining on the sea THEN 'BOOK NOW' AT 'STARLIGHT BY THE SEA' Keywords: House, beachfront, single family home ## Property amenities ### Beach -

The house was perfect for 6 adults, an infant and 3 dogs. Fun was had by all! We cooked in most nights, used the kayaks to head to the Sanctuary that is close by and spent a lot of time on the deck! Joy answered my questions in a timely manner and was very easy to work with! We will be back next year! ##### Cyndi Y.

Joy is a very attentive and gracious host and is always accessible. The house is sitting on such a beautiful location and and the view from the huge deck is nothing short of stunningly spectacular. We will absolutely be back, hopefully sooner than later as we always do. ##### bob j.

Every year we look forward to coming down to Starlight for our beach vacation, and we are never disappointed. Our 15-year-old dog loves coming here, and even though it's harder for her to get down to the beach, she makes sure her toes are in the sand as much as possible! Port St Joe is getting more options for restaurants-all were very good- so we did eat out more often this trip, but for meals in we had everything we needed. My favorite spot is either sitting on the chaise or lounging in the hammock-there's no way to choose just one! Joy, thank you again for sharing your home! Can't wait to get back again!! ##### Janet L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ---
