Conveniently located for fun and recreation, you’ll discover Palmilla Beach Resort & Golf Community, Treasure Island, and Red Dragon Pirate Cruises all within a three-mile radius.

Closer to home, you’ll delight in lounging under the palms by the shared pool all afternoon. Grab a favorite beach read and a towel, or plunge in for a refreshing dip. The welcoming interiors of this escape invite you to snuggle up on the plush sofa to stream your favorite movies or break out the board games in the main room. A well-appointed kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space making food preparation a breeze. Gather for home-cooked meals and laughs at the adjacent dining table. The primary bedroom is luxurious with cozy linens and balcony access, while the spa-like en suite bath hosts a jetted tub for ultimate relaxation. Following a full day of excursions, unwind on the spacious deck with a glass of wine to watch the sun go down on one more wonderful day of vacation.

Great for families
We had a lovely stay at The Blue Shell. The house is beautiful and clean, and has a great layout for 2 families staying together. We had 4 adults and 3 young kids, and it was more than enough space! The location is close to town and a short drive to beach access. We will definitely consider staying here again, and recommend it for families!
