About this property
Famous PAG Beach Bungalow Sleeps 4 Pet Friendly
From the bottom of the NorthStar Bungalow's stairs to Pass-a-Grille Beach or the Bay is 3 houses away.
First, the honest part, because I would rather tell you now than surprise you at check-in: the NorthStar is my second-floor Bungalow. The stairs are steep and the bedroom is snug around the corners. It is not the right fit for guests with poor mobility. If stairs are no trouble, keep reading, because this one is a favorite.
These Bungalows have won Traveller Review Awards three years running, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
THE BUNGALOW
One bedroom with a queen bed, plus a sofa bed in the living room, brand new as of February 2026, so four can stay. Hardwood floors, central air, a full kitchen, and a dining area. Up here you get the treetop breeze and the quiet.
OUTSIDE
Beach chairs and gear are included. Downstairs is the communal pavilion all four Bungalows share, with covered seating and a grill. It is not a private patio. One free parking spot is included.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
My family has been on this corner of Pass-a-Grille since the early 1980s, and I grew up on this property. The island is 31 blocks long and walk able end to end. Dinner is on 8th Avenue, the sunset piano is at Paradise Grille, and the bay is a one-minute walk if you want to fish. The dog beach is 5 to 10 minutes on foot, and dogs are welcome for $85 per pet.
We live close by and answer in minutes. Nightly, weekly, and monthly stays welcome.

Our stay was amazing! This property is in the perfect location with a very short walk to the beach and the bay plus several restaurants within walking distance! The bungalow has everything you need for your stay! Will definitely book here again!

It was a pleasure time! The house is clean, and organized! Very good towels. Love it! The only downsize is the bed which is too tight close to the wall.
Our family of four plus our fur baby had a wonderful time at Pass-a-grille. The North Star bungalow was very clean and everything was effectively available. It looks newly remodeled with a fresh decor. The queen size bed mattress was so comfortable. The location was fantastic! So close to the beach. Pets are not allowed on the beach but there is a close outdoor bar and grill with lots of comfortable chairs . Dogs are allowed there, so it is a great place to watch the beautiful sunset with your family and pets. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to stay again shortly.
Everything as listed. Yes it was small and there wasn’t much room around the bed, but that was shown in the listing so I expected it. You could not ask for a better location and it was clean and new feeling. Manager was super helpful and responsive. Only thing that was a little worrisome was the stairs to the apartment. They were steep and narrow. Not bad as long as I didn’t get in a big hurry. Oh, and the outdoor space and outdoor shower were great too.
We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. It was the perfect spot for a couple traveling with two small dogs. The location was fantastic, very close to both bodies of water and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shopping.The property manager was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Even though the property has multiple rentals, it still felt private and we never felt like we were too close to other guests. We were always able to find parking nearby even though it was spring break and the area was very busy.
The apartment photos depict the place well. It was small but with just enough space for our family. The location was perfect! Within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops.

Cozy place, perfect for party of 2 with a baby. Loved how close it is to the beach. Communication was excellent. The only thing that would have made it better is if there were more shower towels and cream and sugar for coffee. Other than that, it was perfect.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the stairs to the condo are a little steep. The place was nicely decorated, clean and I loved the bathroom decor. It has everything you need for a quick getaway. My kids were 5 & 6 so it was hard to keep them entertained in tight quarters. Lovely little place for a couples weekend getaway. Highly recommend Paradise Grill for a great breakfast on the beach!
Loved the peaceful presence of this town. We are Florida natives and had never been to PAG. Beautiful beach, beautiful area to walk, fish or just relax and watch the Sunset. The North Star met all of our expectations. A cozy little gem perfectly located. Appreciate the quick response to questions and great accommodating to the bikes under repair. Thank you for a wonderful time.
We love the area and come down every year. The property was well maintained and clean. It is advertised for up to 4 people. It definitely can not fit 4 people. There were 4 of us and one of us have to sleep on a non-gravity chair we brought. There were no sheet for the hid a bed when we got there but management delivered them is a very timely matter. The bigger downside was there wasnt enough blankets and pillows for the extra two people. Also it wasnt advertised that it was on the second floor. That would of been helpful to know as we may not of rented because of it. Overall, it was a great property, but with not enough room.
We have stayed @ this property many times and love PAG. North Star needs window shades badly, repairs on the folding closet door. and to the ceiling fan over the dining table. Given the SIGNIFICANT price increase, we were disappointed with this unit. Tyler worked hard to keep up with the property issues, however the problems with the main house kept him busy.
We love PAG and will return in 2022. If you are considering renting this property, make an effort to secure Star Fish! Mgracias

We enjoyed our stay at NorthStar bungalow. The only issue is the bed in the bedroom is in such a tight spot that it was not easy as a 69 year old to get in and get out of the bed that was so close to the wall.

No Communication
The communication with the host was terrible, it simply did not exist. Similar feedback from other guests. We showed up at check-in time, with no details provided at all. The property itself was clean and as described, but without the help of others staying in the nearby units on the property, we wouldn’t have even known what unit was ours to stay, let alone know where to find the key or that we needed a parking pass to avoid being towed.
We loved staying here! The apartment was perfect for a couple’s getaway. We really enjoyed riding our bikes along the beach and bay. We got a lot of use out of the beach chairs and umbrellas. We were surprised at how close we were to the beach and restaurants. No need to drive and no traffic. We also locked ourselves of our apartment and management arrived within 10 minutes free of charge. That sort excellent service makes this a destination worth visiting again!!
