    ⚠️ While Star of the Sea is oceanfront, there is no direct beach access. Public shoreline access is nearby but may involve uneven terrain—please use caution. Beach access is via a naturally occurring path and is not maintained by the HOA or county parks. If guests require an ADA-accessible entrance or formal stairs with a handrail, we recommend using the access points at San Simeon Cove, Moonstone Beach, or Pico Creek, which is just a short drive from the home. Please note: all beach access is at one’s own risk, regardless of the route taken.



    ⚠️ Entry requires stairs: 4 steps down to the unit, plus one interior step into the living area. Not ideal for guests with mobility concerns. While the home does not feature central air conditioning, its location near the beach ensures that cool ocean breezes naturally keep the space comfortable. Just open the windows or sliding doors, and let the fresh coastal air create the perfect seaside atmosphere.

This was a perfect spot for two couples. The views were spectacular. We requested a 4th chair for the deck and received an immediate response, and the chair a bit later. It was very hot, over 90. Adding one more fan for days like that would be nice. We had a little trouble navigating the code for the doors, I'm sure that had nothing to do with age, but once we figured it out we were fine.

The view is great. The bedrooms are comfortable. The kitchen is big enough and quite practical. Well located. Quite enough but I think we didn’t have neighbors during our stay.
