Starfish Wishes - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat

When you enter this newly renovated, luxury, oceanfront, penthouse condo on the Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head border, the view of the Atlantic Ocean is breathtaking. Starfish Wishes is the ultimate getaway – ideal for a couple looking to relax and enjoy the gorgeous oceanfront that this retreat has to offer. Perfectly located with direct beach access, this oceanfront gem is just steps away from multitudes of dining options that are sure to tempt your taste buds. Not to be overlooked is the beautiful, in-ground swimming pool just outside your door and an eclectic mix of shops and family-friendly events for all to enjoy within a few minutes drive from Starfish Wishes. Unwind as you start each day watching the sunrise from the balcony while sipping your coffee, watch the dolphins frolic and play, listen to the seagulls overhead and at the end of a fun-filled day drift off to sleep listening to the waves gently washing upon the shore.

Starfish Wishes can comfortably sleep two (one queen bed). The kitchen is stocked with appliances and cooking utensils that are sure to please any short-order cook or chef.

Pack your bags and get ready for paradise and leave the rest to us!

Not a welcoming vibe
Positives: Starfish Wishes has a great location and beautiful views. Lots of cute beachy decor touches. It was quiet and private. Negatives: The owner sent us explicit instructions prior to arrival about the bedding on the one bed. We were under no condition to sit on the quilt or rest a head on a decorative pillow. Those things were to be stored in a closet tub immediately on arrival. In other words, we could see them when we walked in but never again. I would never ask that of a guest. If something is that precious, it does not belong in a rental. Once the quilt was removed, there was one thin blanket on the bed and no spares anywhere else. If we were cold at night or wanted to use a throw while sitting on the sofa, we were out of luck. The owner also itemized the towels in the bathroom: two bath towels, one hand towel, and two washcloths. Again, no spares anywhere. With multiple dips in the ocean and sometimes several showers per person in a day, that is just not enough. Heaven forbid I wanted one towel to dry my hair and one for my body! The skimpiness extended to the paper goods provided. The bathroom tissue was gas station quality and there wasn't a box of Kleenex anywhere. The first thing we did on arrival was to jump back in the car to go buy one. Honestly, this may have been the first negative review I have ever written. I don't like to do that to anyone but the owner needs to know how his actions come across to visitors.

Great Getaway Spot
We had a wonderful stay in Starfish Wishes. It was our first trip to OBX. The weather was not the best but Starfish Wishes was a great place to hang out and relax in. Gene was very easy to work with. He provided recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc. which was very helpful to us. Hope to make it back when the weather is warmer!

Fantastic
You can't beat the location. Plenty of restaurants and things to do within a short distance. Direct beach access from the condo. The condo itself was very clean and well-appointed. Loved the decor. Fantastic views from the deck. The owner, Gene, was very communicative and kept us up to date with cool things going on in the area, which was a nice touch. There are quite a few stairs to climb to get to the unit, but using the side stairs makes the climb a little bit easier than using the steep front stairs. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we can't wait to go back!

This is a jewel of a place to stay in KDH. As others have said, it’s quite a climb but the view and location make it worthwhile. Starfish Wishes is very clean and comfortable. The entire location was quiet and we quite enjoyed our stay. Would definitely consider this condo again when we visit.

Stunning views and easy access to beach
Upon arrival, the condo was exactly as pictured…clean, updated and a spectacular view of the ocean. You are right on the beach and the condo has easy access to the beach right from your balcony. This by far was the best part of the stay. The location is moments from a grocery store, liquor store and many other shops and restaurants. There is so much to do in Kill Devil, you won’t be disappointed with this location. The welcoming gift was such a nice surprise too.

Starfish Wishes was great
This was a perfect rental for being right on the beach. We had private beach access and a wonderful unobstructed view of the ocean. We sat on the deck every night watching the waves roll in. Gene was a great host and made the process easy. Plenty of places close by when picking meal locations. We found the Pokebox, Red Drum Grill and Taphouse, and Surfin’ Spoon to be great places. It is also close to a CrossFit gym where my wife enjoyed squeezing a mid day gym session in when we’d take a lunch break from the beach. Definitely recommend this location!

Star Fish Wishes didn't disappoint
We had a great week at the condo which was about a mile from where my family was staying with a large group at one of the megahouses. It was the perfect location for us. The condo itself was clean, cheerful and had an Extraordinary View. There are a lot of stairs, but the view made it worthwhile. (A hint: once you are in the house, the back access to the beach is super convenient, not just for the beach, but for hauling all your gear, suitcases, etc. The stairs are not quite as steep.) We cooked in almost every night and the kitchen equipment was more than adequate for the two of us. Gene, the owner, notified us the minute the condo was available for check-in....several hours before we anticipated. We had a couple of minor issues at check-in, but Gene resolved them quickly and personably. We were there for the July 4th holiday and while there were quite a few people on the beach, we always had a nice place to plant our umbrella without having people too close. Definitely a nice place to stay! Thank You.
