Great time with the family
Awesome little place on the water with easy access to springs, gulf and restaurants. We very much enjoyed our stay at the Scalloping Shack. The description is mostly accurate but definitely bring your own snorkeling gear and spices. The price is right for that location and we would book again. Communication with Ulla and Clay was a breeze
