Our first visit to Sea n' Stars was over a three day weekend back in April. We loved it so much that we booked our second trip while we were still on the first one. Instead of the three nights, we booked for an entire week over the 4th of July holiday. Joining us this time was our daughter and two granddaughters, ages 10 and 7. Even though they were only able to stay for the weekend, both girls spent hours swimming in the warm gulf waters and combing the beach for shells.
After the holiday weekend was over, the island went back to sleep again, meaning that most of the time, my wife and I had the entire beach to ourselves. We spent hours walking the beach, collecting a wide variety of shells, and swimming in the gulf to cool off. When the afternoon sun heated the beach up, we enjoyed the shade and cool breeze on the cozy couch on the upper gulf side deck
Late afternoon we were back on the beach again. Fishing was the best ever and I actually ran out of bait this time. Caught bunches of fish, counted seven different kinds, all of which were released so you can have a chance at catching them too.
Staying for an entire week, we took advantage of the brand new washer and dryer. We also noticed many additions to the property in the garage, such as an assortment of beach chairs, beach toys for the girls, and two kayaks, which we enjoyed too.
As with our first visit, the house was immaculate in every way. Comfortable, clean, and stocked with nearly anything you could need. The house is so well equipped that we only left the island a couple times for things that I had forgotten to bring, such as ice cream for the wife and granddaughters. Morning coffee on the deck became a cherished ritual, as did the evenings on the lower level swing, usually with a chilled beverage. After staying in a Sargent Beach VRBO that only had window A/C units, the central cooling system kept us totally comfortable day and night. Sea n' Stars is an awesome vacation opportunity and we feel fortunate to be only a short drive away.
