Avis Starfish Wishes - Oceanfront Penthouse Retreat

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful location and the beachy decor of Starfish Wishes. I strive to create a relaxing, coastal atmosphere, and those little touches are an important part of it. However, I also rely on our guests to follow the guidelines we’ve set to maintain the cleanliness and quality of the space. As you mentioned, I do ask guests not to use the decorative pillows or comforter (I do not have a quilt) for sleeping. These items contribute to the overall look and feel of the home, but are not designed to be used as bedding. Decorative pillows, for example, cannot be laundered between each stay, so asking that they be stored in the closet helps ensure cleanliness for everyone. I understand that not everyone would request this of guests, but it helps me keep the space as fresh as possible while still offering that cute, beachy charm that you mentioned as a positive in your review. Regarding the towels and blankets, I do itemize what’s provided so that guests can plan and pack according to their personal preferences. If you were in need of additional blankets, I wish you had reached out during your stay. I keep a spare in the dresser, and I’m always happy to assist if needed. An alternative solution might have been, you could have always adjusted the temperature in the condo to a comfortable level. My goal is for every guest to have a comfortable experience, and I’m here to help address any concerns that come up during a visit. It’s unfortunate to hear that the lack of a box of tissues and the type of paper products didn’t meet your expectations. While I aim to provide basic amenities, I understand that everyone has different preferences, and I encourage guests to bring any specific items they may need for their stay. Lastly, when I reached out to check on your stay and offered the souvenir mugs, you seemed pleased, which makes your feedback here a bit surprising. I’m sorry that the rain impacted your overall experience, but I do hope you enjoyed your time at the beach despite the weather.

Thank you for choosing Starfish Wishes! Looking forward to hosting y'all again!
