A 5-Star Family Vacation Beach House
Starfish House is a five-bedroom beachfront home on the quiet sands of Tar Bay, Exuma — built for families and friends who want to slow down, be together, and let the island do the rest.
Your Next Family Vacation
Everything Starfish has to offer!
We're two families who fell for this stretch of beach and wanted a place where the people we love could gather — where the hardest decision of the day is whether to swim before or after breakfast. Starfish House is that place. Room for sixteen, a reef-protected bay safe enough for the kids, and a town eight minutes away for everything else. Come for the beach. Stay for the time together.
Do everything. Or nothing at all.
Starfish House works whether your idea of paradise is a packed itinerary or an empty one. Within eight minutes of leaving the airport you will be sipping a cool drink on the white sand beach beside the emerald waters of Tar Bay. The bay is protected by a reef a mile away and the sandy bottom and shallow waters are safe for kids. The crystal clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and on a calm day- kayaking is a must. The summer water temperature is 85 degrees.
A short 8 minute drive east you will find the charming and friendly town of George Town, capital of this island archipelago of 3800 permanent residents. You will find everything you need for meal and drink preparation, satisfy your urge to shop at the straw market and boutiques and visit interesting historic sites. Order up some fresh Lobster, Grouper, Tuna or Mahi Mahi from the local fisherman and they will deliver it to the house.
Rent a boat, or hire an experienced captain from Minn's boat rentals to explore the clear, calm waters of Elizabeth Harbour. Don't forget to see the crustaceans at Starfish Beach and visit Sand Dollar beach to hunt for these treasures.
A freshly made conch salad and cold Kalik beer at Big D's or Chat and Chill on Stocking Island is a necessity for this boat trip. If boat rental is not an option for you then a water taxi will get you to Stocking island where you can partake in the fun with sailors, visitors and locals.
Have fun with a game of beach volleyball on the sand court , sip an icy Bahama Mama cocktail on a beach chair .
The love of water is probably the greatest attraction to Exuma. Here you can take your pick of Scubadiving (Dive Exuma), Parasurfing, snorkelling and even surfing on the ocean side of Stocking Island.
Optional Chef/cook services, Steel drum lessons, massage on the beach, pre-arrival grocery shopping is available.
