Beach trip

We had a great stay. The property was very nice and clean. We waited through the storm and got to have 3 days in the sun. Where it rained we spent most of the time in the house and we had a great time.

perfect house

We love Ocean Isle and always stay in Island Park - this house was by far the best we have stayed in. The owner was great to communicate with and the house was just perfect. Beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed! Great location - loved seeing turtles, crabs and fish everyday in the lagoon. Will definitely be staying there again!

Will be coming back to the Shell Shack!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shell Shack. The property is very close to the beach and the back deck was awesome for relaxing and looking at the turtles in the lagoon. Nice that the property also includes access to a pool. House was clean and host communicated clearly and responded to questions very fast. We hope to be able to stay at Andrea’s place again! Highly recommend.
