Great house by the sea
House was very nice and accommodated my family and dogs well. Only drawback was the party the previous guests had thrown before we arrived to broken glass all over the ground, trash cans full of booze, shot glasses on the deck, and a very stained white couch. Management was aware and did the best they could given the situation but not ideal considering how much we paid to stay there for 3 nights.

Family trip during cold rainy week
This was the perfect spot to be cooped up during unexpected cold and rainy vacation days. The house had everything we needed to spend more time inside than expected. Would definitely stay here with my family and doggie again.

Excellent House!
We had a great time at Shell We Dance! The house is just like the listing. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Our only problem was that the people before us filled up the trash cans, so we had nowhere to put our trash. We would definitely stay there again!
