Loved the view
We love the color coordination and all the rooms. We also like the idea of having the boat parked right out back to go fishing in the morning’s .It was a nice getaway for the fall at the beach.

Relaxing Oasis!
This is a lovely, super comfortable condo overlooking Slash Creek! Vacation oriented and cool and quiet. The kitchen is a dream and we made many meals with local fresh fish. Beach access was close by and renting a golf cart made it all very easy. The community pool is a real plus.

Vacation at The Shell of It
We have stayed in numerous units in Slash Creek. We love these condos. For the Shell of It is by far the cleanest unit we have stayed it. The furniture was comfortable. The A/C actually worked as well as the elevator.
