SeaStar is a true gem. We live in London, England and it was nerve-wracking to have to choose where to stay from so many listings on the Sunshine Coast. We wanted undisturbed peace and relaxation away from busy resorts, a view of the ocean and distant islands, easy access to all the amazing experiences that the Sunshine Coast offers plus the comforts of a home-away-from-home...and that’s exactly what we experienced at SeaStar – and more! Every day of our week’s stay was special, and every evening while relaxing on the deck enjoying the firepit or stretched out flat on a lounger to stare endlessly at the stars – we reminded ourselves how lucky we were to have chosen SeaStar. Ron and Marilyn, however, are the real stars. Quite apart from the beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped SeaStar, they gave us all the privacy we wanted but when advice or help was sought, they really came through for us.

We are loving our 5-night stay at SeaStar Cottage. Marilyn and Ron are excellent hosts -- warm and inviting, but then wonderfully discreet once we were settled. We are wanting for nothing, as everything we could possibly wish for has been provided. We are taking most of our meals at the table on the large covered deck. There are also very comfy chairs for lounging around the fireplace. Deck railings are clear glass, so our view isn't obstructed. We enjoy the chipmunks and squirrels who occasionally race across the edge, staying clear of us but providing a little show. The nights here are extremely black, and so we are enjoying the amazing night sky in a way we cannot do at home.
The kitchen is well supplied, and very clean and new. Actually, everything feels very new, and very upscale. The induction cooktop is very efficient, as is the large toaster oven. All the dishes etc are very well-maintained. The bathroom is similarly elegant and cozy, with a soaker tub and luxurious towels. The bedroom is romantic, with quality linens and a heavenly mattress.
We could not have picked a better location to spend our week on the Sunshine Coast, nestled amongst all the trees with accompanying wildlife. Bald eagles, songbirds, deer, a seal ... close up as though provided for our amusement. It has really been a treat.

Sea Star Cottage is the perfect place for a quiet, serene, leave the city behind, kind of get-away. We spent three nights during spring break relaxing at this beautiful little cottage. Went for walks to Daniel Point and Irvine's Landing, drove around to some lakes close by, enjoyed amazing sunsets right from our deck while relaxing in the comfortable deck chairs, and listened to the many birds singing to us. We especially enjoyed the bald eagle perched high in a tree close by. Our hosts were wonderful, kind people, who met all of our needs and respected our privacy. I'm so thankful they are willing to share this little piece of heaven on earth with us.

This was our first visit to the Sunshine Coast and could not have picked a better location to stay. This one bedroom cottage was better than we could have imagined. If you are looking for a very clean and peaceful spot this is where you want to be. Marilyn and Ron have furnished this cottage with the most up-to-date furnishings and everything you would need to call this place home from the first time you set foot inside.
We were lucky enough to see the resident doe just outside the door and view the eagles that perched themselves on the tree tops overhead. Walking down to the shoreline, we got great photos of the purple sea star. Hiking up nearby Harbour Hill gave us breathtaking views of Hotel Lake. Other hikes included Francis Point and Skookumchuck Narrows.
Stop looking for other places to stay in the area, because this is number one in our books!
