I never leave a review, but this one is worthy. Not just beach front, this house is better than you expect, better than advertised. The attention to detail, organization, and quality of everything far exceed your typical rental property. The beds/bedding and linens are nice, the furniture is quality and not worn, the kitchen is well stocked in every sense (including cleaning supplies and spices), the appliances and TVs are high end, there is plentiful patio furniture this is comfortable. It is tastefully decorated. To put it simply, this is how you would want your beach house to be, not just a rental.

Beautiful beach front view!

We had a wonderful week on the beach! The views from the balcony were incredible! The beach was quiet, Sheila was helpful and attentive when needed. She recommended golf cart companies and we rented a cart for the week. Spending the evening cruising the beach at sunset was a highlight for sure.

Our stay at Sweet Shell-Ter was nothing short of amazing!! It made our vacation just perfect. Sheila is so sweet and caring. She makes sure you're happy and comfy. I've been fortunate in my interactions with VRBO hosts, but Shelia went absolutely above and beyond. I was in awe from our first interaction, to our stay, and to our last day. She's amazing.Straight away, you can see how much focus is put into cleanliness. That was huge for us and honestly, I've never seen such a clean rental. It literally feels like we were the first people to stay. The open concept living room and kitchen area on the third floor is pretty cool also, and it's super helpful to have elevator access to each floor when needed. The views are just beautiful from all windows. I couldn't wait to wake up each morning and lift the blinds to see the beach. I was also amazed by how well stocked the house was. You went without needing anything. We couldn't believe all the amenities offered.I ended up forgetting my sand drill bit to place my umbrella, but found a play shovel to use. I also ended up needing to use one of the provided umbrellas because the strong winds were so strong one day and mine didn't fare well. I didn't feel like fighting with it anymore because.... vacation. There were also umbrella augers and beach chairs, plus much more available.I'm sure there are praises I'm missing, but overall, we loved it and are so happy for the chance to stay! I would love to come back to this beach gem.
