Clean and Comfortable

This great little cottage had all the comforts of home. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable and the home was clean and inviting. Nice courtyard for relaxing and just an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Our host was the best of any place we have stayed. She was easy to contact and great to talk with. We look forward to visiting Shell Beach again.

Cute fully supplied ocean experience

Well describe, near the ocean, quiet with friendly neighbors in a "quaint and beachy" neighborhood. We found the house we'll supplied with things often missing in a rental, things such as kitchen tools, cleaning supplies and extra sheets. Our hosts Divya and Karthik were quick to respond to our every question. question. Our hosts aweDretfall.
