Perfect place for our multi-family trip! We had 18 people stay and each of us had our own room and bathroom. Everything was very clean and it was a very short walk across the street to the beach.

🥳 Awesome, Steve! 18 people, and everyone with their own room AND bathroom? That's the multi-family dream right there — no morning bathroom traffic jams! So glad the east side of Shells was squeaky clean and that quick walk across to the beach made it easy. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Shells? Or ready to round up the families again? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

Very easy to get to the beach and then relax in the pool later. Close to other activities and restaurants. We took the kids to the waterpark and loved it.

😊 Thanks Scott! Glad you all had a great time! Don't see anything negative in the review, and no communication during the stay, so if you could shoot me a direct note, I'll reach out too, to let me know where that other little star went, so we can get him back with his buddies! Thanks again! 🙏

Had a great time pool was awesome!

Everything was real nice only would have liked more walk in shower in more of the bathrooms. Nice walk to the beach only took about 4 minutes. Would stay there again!

Super! Thank you so much for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review! Happy to hear you had a wonderful time and you would love to stay here at Shells again! Appreciate the desire for more walk in showers. We have the combo tubs and it would wreck out nice value price-point to totally remove those and make them walk-ins.. plus... some folks like the tubs for infants or personal preference. A balancing act for sure. Thanks again, and please don't hesitate to reach out directly if you have any other suggestions, and when ready to lock in the return trip to Shells! 🙏🙏🙏

Great house! It was perfect for our large group and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We loved the convenience of having a pool or walking across the street to the beach.

We had a very nice time at Shells. The pool was big and got a lot of use! The beach access right across the street was very convenient versus walking to the public beach access. All in all, it was a great trip!!

Thanks Bart! I hope the restaurant is doing well! I mentioned it to my folks in law. We missed being able to stop by during our spring break trip to the Gulf! Never left West Beach during our high school-gymnastics shortened trip! Next time! Reach out if you guys need a 'retreat' in the future! Thanks again! Rick

We had a great family vacation here! We really enjoyed the large spaces in the house where we could gather as a family. The amount of bathrooms was great with every bedroom having one. The house is very close to the beach, but the walk through the sand over the dune to the ocean was a little difficult for some older members of our family. Other than that, the ocean was beautiful and the beach was not crowded at all.
