My weekend getaway

I came down for a relaxing weekend getaway and this was the perfect place. This time of year is my favorite here. Even the rainy, windy day was enjoyable. Sitting on the sofa, looking out at the churning ocean, with the fireplace going.....so peaceful. Gene was SO accommodating!

Spectacular View/ Cozy Vibe

My husband and I loved our stay at Starfish Wishes! The view from the balcony was by far our favorite. It was also relaxing to sit on the couch and enjoy the double door view of the ocean as well. It is perfect to have direct access to the beach! We enjoyed walking to Millers Seafood and Steakhouse in the morning for breakfast and of course their fresh warm blueberry hushpuppies. Gene was a great host. Easy to contact and willing to help with anything. We will definitely be staying there again!

Bijou on the Banks

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.
