About this house rental
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

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, had beautiful views, and was just a short walk to the beach, which made it so convenient. We really appreciated the privacy too which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The spacious living and dining areas made it easy for our family to enjoy dinners together and spend the evenings playing board games. Overall, it was a fantastic vacation home, and we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place inside and out! We decided to bring our dogs and when we arrived, my husband looked inside and said, "Are you sure we can bring our dogs?" because the property was so sparkling clean. We all loved it! The nature around the place was spectacular. The drive was peaceful. The home had adequate cookware to do a fish fry with all of the fixings. If you are missing anything, just text Joy. There's usually a back up somewhere that you missed. Thank you for a great stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Starlight by the Sea! Joy, the owner, was incredibly kind, attentive, and responsive throughout our visit. She truly made us feel welcome from start to finish. The home itself was clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully maintained with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is simply stunning, overlooking Indian Pass and the St. Joseph Nature Preserve, with breathtaking views in every direction. We especially loved the huge back deck, which was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and sunrise views. And the hammock was ideal for a peaceful afternoon nap. Another highlight was how uncrowded the beach was. It felt like we had it almost entirely to ourselves. We saw plenty of porpoises and found an abundance of beautiful, unique shells, which made the experience even more special. We can’t recommend Starlight by the Sea (and Joy as a host) highly enough. If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic escape, this is the perfect place.
