My family and I stayed one week in shell shack. We had an amazing time. The house is perfect, clean, and cozy. Location is amazing. Definitely, we would stay at this place again! Highly recommend
This place was perfect from minute ONE! We loved the close proximity to town, food, coffee shop, etc. Kitchen and Grill were both excellent. Loved the private beach and all the solidarity it brought. We would love to come back soon. Loved this place!
The house was great…modern, clean and location was fantastic. Loved the large kitchen and the best part was the fabulous deck - feels like you are sitting directly on the beach! The only negative is the 2nd bathroom is not attached to a bedroom…small inconvenience. Would definitely stay again!
We loved this place! It is perfect! Loved waking up and having coffee on the porch and listening to the waves. So beautiful! The only problem we had is that the ac in the afternoon goes up to about 75 even if we turn it down. It eventually goes back to normal once the sun goes down.
Also the Wi-Fi didn’t work for us a lot of the time
but we had service on our phones. Otherwise it was perfect! Definitely will book it again sometime! 🐚
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shell Shack. The views were amazing and the beach was so quiet and relaxing! Such a cute house with everything we needed. Loved watching the sunsets from the porch! We will definitely be back!
Cute, clean and very convenient! We loved the location on 30a and loved being right on the beach. House is so cute with the recent renovations and we had everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back!
This home was perfect for our family of 4. Our kids are 20 and 12. The views, both day and night, from the rear of this home are amazing as you are @ 50 yards to the waters edge. There were minimal renters in homes around us, so we basically had 100 yard width of private beach all week! Very little light pollution as there are no high rise condos around, the stars at night are beautiful to see. The home itself was nicely updated and very clean. Only issue to be discussed was amount of counter space in master bath. Solved that problem by moving an end table from the family room to right outside the master bath door. We would definitely stay here again and again. It was perfect for us.
We had an amazing time here! The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed, and the location on the beach could not have been better. We'll definitely be back!
