Shell Cove #8

Property needs some attention and updating. Towels were worn and smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The faucet in bathroom sprays all over you when it’s turned on. Over all not bad for a short stay. Great beach location.

Location Location Location

This spot is on the 2nd floor right on the beach in the shade of 2 trees! The location is the absolute selling point of this property. Those 2 trees provide shade on the balcony in the afternoon so the unit doesn’t get unbearably hot. The communication was EXCELLENT! We had a couple issues, some resolved ASAP, others had to take a little time but the people behind the communications through VRBO was immediate and helpful. The unit inside is cute and perfect for 2 people. We cooked almost every night, they have the basics so if you plan on needing a blender or to bake you should bring some specialty items with you. The air conditioner works really well and we were comfortable at 73 degrees.I only gave 3 stars for cleanliness because something was being stored under the bed and it was crazy dusty. The bedroom lamps were unplugged so we had to move the bed to plug them back in and saw the massive buildup of dust there as well. We communicated through VRBO, they had me send pictures so they could send to the property manager so I’m sure it will be perfect for the next travelers. Other than the dust under/behind the bed - the living room, kitchen & bathroom were all clean and tidy.We will definitely stay here again.
After the sunset you can really see the 2 trees and then the beautiful view from the balcony
We would move the outside table closer to the edge for breakfast/lunch/dinner or when we wanted to hang out and just put it back when we were done so as to not get in the way of the other people
I known it’s “just” a tree but that tree made a world of difference blocking that sun when it would set. Say thank you to that tree!!

Great location and view from porch.

The location and property is great, so close to beach and water. The apartment is well equipped and very clean. The bathroom sink needs a stopper and faucet strainer cleaned or replaced. People need to be aware of the 14 steps to climb to reach the apartment. They also need to be aware that the advertised price ends up being almost twice that much.

Let's go to the Beach!

Love, Love, Love this location! Cute, some minor annoyances (toilet flapper needs replacing, a small vac would have been a game changer to clean up the sand we felt we were always dragging in.) This unit desperately needs updated pillows in the bedroom & at least a shower mat for the bathroom. Property manager was SUPER responsive and would happily rent from them again. That being said, location, location, location..... WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

Perfect location

We loved the location of this condo. We enjoyed the beach and ocean views day and night. Would highly recommend to anyone and would absolutely stay here again. The only negatives would be only given 4 towels for two adults for a 7 night stay. Extra bed sheets would have been nice as well. And hand towels for the dishes would be helpful. We did have to do laundry more than we anticipated. But overall it’s a great condo.

Five stars really has to impress me.

This is my second stay. The pet friendly aspect was why I originally chose. Any issues were resolved quickly the first stay, and had none this year. It may be time to upgrade the fridge, as a few times it sounded like it wanted to take off. Also, the bathroom sink has no stopper which isn’t a problem for me, but I’d hate for someone to lose a wedding ring due to the lack of a $20 repair.

Great view and beach access

We arrived at night there are parking spots for each unit. The numbers are not in order they go by what side of the building you are on so make sure you park in the right spot. The unit was very clean. Basic furnishings. Kitchen seemed full equipped but we ate out every night. Great seafood here. New king size bed with foam mattress and new bedding. The view and beach access is what we came for. Beach chairs and umbrella provided. Tv a little tricky but follow instructions and check that cable box is on. Enjoyed beach walks and watching the sunset on the balcony. Bring cash many bars and restaurants are cash only. Free trolley is close to get around the island also.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The entire building is a fire hazard. There are over 12 steps to the top floor with no exterior lights anywhere outside the building. Also, the front door to enter or exit is swollen and the door knobs wiggles, where you don't know if you can enter or exit. The entire place was filthy. Floors, shower and the sheets were stained and hair on the towels. coffee cups had terrible brown stains on them. The stove has rust on it. Only one electrical outlet worked. The entire place was dirty and rust on the closet floor where the door would slide and bathtub. So outdated to the point the very first night we were on the phone with VRBO and Love Rentals complaining. We drove 2 days to get there to sleep on top of the bed with our robes and did not use anything and left before 8 am the very next morning just to drive 2 days back home. This place is dump.
