Here’s a shortened Starfish Bay description that stays rich but comes in under 10,000 characters:
STARFISH BAY — live on the water in the heart of the Abacos. Step outside and the Sea of Abaco stretches to the horizon. Starfish Bay is a luxury three‑bedroom oceanfront home built directly on the water in a private gated peninsula at the tip of Marsh Harbour. With 2,000+ sq ft of outdoor decks, your own protected dock in a private marina, and stairs that lead straight into the sea, this is island living at its finest—designed for families and friends who want space, comfort, and the ocean at their feet. Rated 4.94 with 17 reviews and an Airbnb Guest Favorite badge.

OUTDOOR LIVING – THE HEART OF STARFISH BAY
Outdoor living here is exceptional, with three zones totaling over 2,000 sq ft so your group can spread out and still be together.
Zone 1 – Covered porch (~600 sq ft):
Sliding doors from the primary, living room, and waterfront guest room open to a shaded porch furnished for lounging. It’s the perfect transition space between indoors and out—breezy and comfortable for reading, napping, or relaxing out of the sun.
Zone 2 – Upper deck (~1,000 sq ft):
The main gathering space: a huge open deck with infinity‑style views over the Sea of Abaco. Furnished with four cushioned chaises, four Adirondack chairs, a dining table for six, and a high‑top table for four. Cornhole is set up for friendly games, and a large outdoor A/C unit helps keep covered areas comfortable on hot days. This is where sunsets, dinners, and long evenings happen.
Zone 3 – Lower deck with ocean access:
Below the upper deck, a lower platform with wide stairs leads directly into the crystal‑clear Sea of Abaco. An outdoor shower lets you rinse off after swimming, snorkeling, or a day on the boat.
Outdoor kitchen:
On the deck level, a Weber gas grill, outdoor sink, and prep counter form a true outdoor kitchen. Grill the day’s catch, prep sides, and serve everything without leaving the waterfront.
Hammock:
A guest favorite on the upper deck—sway in the sea breeze with a full view over the water.
Water toys (launched from the lower deck):
- 4 watercraft (mix of kayaks and stand‑up paddleboards)
- Large floating water mat
- Snorkel gear for up to 6 guests
- Wide deck and stairs make launching easy, even for kids
All toys can also be used on the marina/canal side, giving you a calm‑water option when northerly winds make the ocean side choppy.
YOUR PRIVATE DOCK & MARINA
Starfish Bay includes access to a private, protected slip in our on‑site marina for vessels up to ~60 ft (inquire; no liveaboards). The marina is on the calm canal between the property and Sugarloaf Cay—a south‑facing waterway that stays comfortable in most weather, even when other docks are rough.
Dock amenities:
- Reverse osmosis fresh water
- 30‑amp and 50‑amp shore power
- Shaded seating with Adirondack chairs
- Fish cleaning station steps from your boat
- South‑facing views over Sugarloaf Canal and lagoon with spectacular sunsets
The house faces north over the open Sea of Abaco; the dock faces south over the protected canal. Two different waterfronts and two different views—and you have both to enjoy.
OFF‑GRID LUXURY – POWER & WATER
Starfish Bay is part of a fully self‑sufficient property, so you don’t have to worry about power or water.
- Large solar power plant with diesel generators on standby for 24/7 electricity
- Rainwater harvesting, reverse osmosis, and multi‑stage UV filtration supply clean, drinkable water from every tap—no bottled water needed
- High‑speed Starlink internet covers the entire home, decks, and docks for streaming, calls, and remote work
PRIVACY, SECURITY & EXCLUSIVITY
Starfish Bay sits within Eastern Shores, a private gated peninsula at the very tip of Marsh Harbour, with water on nearly every side—the Sea of Abaco to the north and the Sugarloaf channel and lagoon to the south.
- Gated community entrance with private road
- Security cameras monitor only the road entrance and marina (none inside or in private guest areas)
- Quiet, upscale neighborhood ideal for walking, jogging, and enjoying the views
- Private parking, entrance, decks, and ocean access separate from any other structure

BOATING & ACTIVITIES
The Abacos are renowned for boating, and Starfish Bay puts you at the center of it. The protected Sea of Abaco between the mainland and outer cays makes day trips in all directions easy and comfortable.
From your dock you can:
- Island‑hop to Hope Town, Man‑O‑War, Great Guana Cay, Green Turtle Cay, and smaller cays
- Access offshore and bonefishing grounds
- Anchor at uninhabited beaches and sandbars
- Snorkel reefs and parks like Fowl Cay
- Visit Tahiti Beach on Elbow Cay
- Cruise to Pete’s Pub at Little Harbour for lunch
- Reach Treasure Cay and Green Turtle Cay on extended day trips
Because you’re centrally positioned, you avoid long open‑water crossings—ideal for families and newer boaters. If you plan to rent a boat, book early in peak season. If bringing your own vessel, share details with your booking so we can confirm and prepare your slip.
You don’t need to leave the property to enjoy the water: swim off the deck, snorkel along the shoreline, paddle north on the open sea or south into the calm canal, float on the water mat, grill on the outdoor kitchen, and end the day watching sunset with a drink in hand. For quieter days, Montage Cay across the bay provides a stunning backdrop from every deck and patio.
