Welcome to Casa Starfish! By The Sea Vacation Villas is pleased to offer this spectacular New Four (4) Bedroom Two an a half (2.5) Bathroom Heated Pool Beach Home to the vacation rental market! Casa Starfish recently underwent a substantial remodel in which the kitchen, as well as all three bathrooms, were completely updated, from top to bottom, to offer nothing but first class amenities throughout. In addition, the entire flooring system throughout the home is new, including a fantastic contemporary stacked stone wall which lines the primary living area entertainment wall (equipped with a 55" LED High Definition Television). Casa Starfish is a one level, single family home, which offers vacation guests a wonderful open floor plan with slightly over 2,500 square feet of living space. From the moment you enter this first class luxury vacation home, you are greeted with windows and french glass doors which offer unobstructed views of the exceptionally private heated pool and covered lounge deck area.

Situated less than four blocks from the beach in the picturesque, seaside, community of Terra Mar Island in Lauderdale by the Sea, Casa Starfish offers vacation guests three exceptional beach options -- the first option would be to simply lock the front door and walk to the beach from the home. There is a direct beach portal entrance off Ocean Boulevard (A1A). Should you prefer to spend a day at the beach in which you have restrooms and dining options, the main beach portals in both Lauderdale by the Sea and Pompano Beach are less than one and one half miles from Casa Starfish. In the case of Lauderdale by the Sea, there are a multitude of first class dining options (Aruba Beach Café, The Village Grille, 101 Ocean, Burger Fi, Kilwin's Ice Cream, etc.) and the main beach portal (where Commercial Boulevard meets the ocean) offers the legendary Anglin's Fishing & Observation Pier (open 24 hours a day). The main beach portal in Pompano Beach (where Atlantic Boulevard meets the ocean) has recently undergone a complete renovation (the end result is simply stunning) and offers beachgoers all new restrooms, a children's beachfront playground, including a spectacular children's water fountain play area, a beachfront exercise fitness area, cabana rentals and lifeguard towers. In addition, the Pompano Beach Fishing & Observation Pier is open to the general public and offers a spectacular setting to enjoy the picturesque surroundings.

Pool heating is available all year round, however, it is an optional extra which is payable in addition to the cost of your reservation. Prices are $35 per day plus tax. Pool heating may not be necessary for your vacation, especially if you're visiting Florida in the hot summer months. If you need any pool heating it is likely to be in the winter and early spring months when daytime temperatures are cooler.You can add pool heating to your booking by calling our office to order it 24 hours prior to your arrival. If you opt to have no pool heating but you change your mind while on vacation, we can arrange for your pool heating to be turned on however please be aware electric heaters can take up to 24 hours to heat up. The maximum temp to prevent algae from forming in the pool is 87 degrees.Note as this can not be ordered through the message thread.

If you have concerns about booking due to Covid 19 please checkout the company Rental Guardian or CSA travel, look for "cancel for any reason" trip insurance as this is the only policy that may cover Covid 19. To purchase travel insurance at a nominal fee you will have to purchase within 24 hours of booking. We can not offer refunds outside our cancelation policy however we are offering travel credits for extenuating circumstances.

Casa Starfish is perfectly located by the beach yet nestled in its own community. The backyard pool and gazebo are like its own oasis. Lots of privacy and lots of room for the family to enjoy together!! Our stay was perfect!

Well-appointed home, able to host a large family. Clean, comfortable and surprisingly spacious; outside seating (covered deck) and good size swimming pool are nice touches. Kitchen is good size and very nicely appointed with everything needed for home cooking if so inclined. All in all, very clean and nicely put together. Convenient : beach front easily walkable in 10 minutes. We used as home base attending family reunion in Parkland over the holidays; would rent again for same purpose, or visit to local beach cities.

My 4 teenage children and I had a perfect stay at Casa Starfish! The house was beautiful (just like the pictures) and the pool area provided a perfect, peaceful and private oasis. Terra Mar Island is a tremendous neighborhood and close to great restaurants. The entire registration, communication and follow up process was excellent from start to finish. Thank you Tanya and Team!

Beautiful house and very responsive customer service. The house was spacious, comfortable, clean and with all the necessary ammenities. Due to the floods there were some unexpected damages and we needed assistance, it was given immediately. Would definitely book again. Thank you!

This home is beautiful. It is very well appointed with great amenities. There was lots of space and each room was very nicely decorated. We travel with 2 toddlers, so the room with the bunk beds was perfect for the little ones. The location was great! We rented a golf cart to ride around the area. The home was very close to everything. There were a few minor issues while were were at the property but the management team was very quick to respond and assist. We frequent this part of South Florida and we look forward to staying at this location again in the future.

6/10

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Starfish but I would not rent it again. It looks very nice in the pictures but the furniture is not comfortable and is poor quality. The beds are really uncomfortable. The two guest bedrooms with multiple beds are not meant for adults. That really should be addressed. The beds are really small and really uncomfortable. The master bedroom and bathroom was very nice but the mattress was again very uncomfortable. Two of the pool chairs were broken and the outdoor cushions and chairs need some deep cleaning. The inside of the house was very clean. The kitchen is great and well equipped. It's in a really nice, quiet neighborhood in between LBTS and Pompano Beach. Rental company was very easy to work with.

We had a great time at this property. Everything was clean, spacious, and well taken care of - plus, the property manager (Tanya) was absolutely fantastic. Each request and question was responded to in a timely fashion. A++ stay and cannot wait to return.

10/10

We spent about 10 days in the house. The house is nice, practical and has a kid-friendly layout (one floor, open space). We had a couple of issues with the pool, mostly around not getting warm enough. I am not sure if they were related to the pool itself or to the fact that it was cold at night in January.
