Termites

This was the filthiest place. Infestation of termites, unit was not cleaned. I can’t describe the toilet! The grounds were just as bad… please take note! It took us videotaping live termites crawling around the unit to get a refund and they charged us for a night in that filth. Termites look like maggots by the way. This process took 4 hours with Verbo on the phone, I’ve never seen such an inhabitable place for the price and the process to show proof to get out of that mess. Be careful with this!

Perfect Location!

We loved Seashell Apartments and will definitely stay there again. The apartment was simple and beachy and perfect for a month stay for us and our toddler. The walk to the beach and to Linden is very fast. It felt very relaxed, which is just what we were looking for.
