We had a great stay! Beautiful condo, easy beach access, and we loved the amenities!

We comfortably slept 5 people for 5 nights. Beach view and easy beach access was perfect! The hot tub was wonderful, especially during the colder days. The host was super helpful, kind, and quick to respond.

Quaint Getaway

We had the best time! Everything you need is provided and the grounds had so much to offer- indoor pool and hot tub plus two beachside pools. Easy access to the beach (view of the ocean from the balcony) and the buildings have recently been updated on the exterior and look very nice.

Lovely place! Awesome host

We stay here for a week because of a business conference & my family loved it. The amenities are amazing, the host was able to accommodate an early check in, she’s super responsive. The beach is about 100 yards out. The balcony has an awesome view of the beach. The unit is super cozy. Overall we had an amazing time & are hoping to come again soon since we made some really great friends here!

We had a great girls trip at this cute little condo. The owner was accessible by text if we needed anything or had any questions. Although we had everything we needed! The condo was clean/organized. We loved the trivia game! Area/Beach was not rowdy/loud at all like some of the more popular spring break areas. Pools were awesome/clean and the indoor pool was great to escape the sun. Kids enjoyed the take it/leave it beach toys bins, and adults very much enjoyed the Sauna and Steam-room! 10/10 Great weekend trip for us!

Great!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Shell Shack! We were able to entertain our boys most of the time at the beach, indoor pool, out door pool, playing basketball, tennis, and pickleball. The apartment was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. I was extremely impressed that when the leg on the box spring bed broke the hosts immediately went out and bought a new box spring frame and installed it while I took the kids swimming. I highly recommend staying at The Shell Shack!

Love it!

We had a fantastic stay for our getaway! The interior design and layout of the place were impressive, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The location was beautiful and peaceful away from other busy hotels. We needed something quiet and less busy. A walk to the beach and on the beach was awesome. Everything was in perfect working condition, and we encountered no issues during our visit. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. We would love to return in the future!

Relaxing Stay, Great Location

My husband and I had an amazing time staying here. The condo was so cute and perfect! There was so much to do at the condo that we really didn’t have to leave to go find stuff to do. The 3 pools were so nice because it helped space everyone out and helped it not get so crowded. The beaches were not crowded at all! We had so much room to ourselves which is very important to us. However, the best part about the trip was the hospitality and kindness shown to us by the host. She is so sweet and thoughtful! We really appreciated it.

Such a perfect and peaceful place!

I would absolutely stay here again! This place was the perfect size for me and my friends. It was a great price for the unit, and the bed, bunk beds, and sofa sleeper are all super comfortable. Pictures look exactly like the unit. Chastity was overly accommodating and was prompt with any questions, concerns, or assistance needed. She’s the best host you could ask for! The unit is only a few steps away from the private and peaceful beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you for everything Chastity!

Chasity was extremely prompt, nice and patient with me when I had difficulty with getting in to the unit. The hint is to press the little house symbol first and then enter passcode.The location is great with a view of the beach and a few hundred steps to the beach.On cooler days we enjoyed the indoor pool , hot tub and sauna.If you’re a tea drinker like me I used a sauce pan to boil the water, I’d advise bringing or portable kettle if you have one. The two tvs are sizable, one is Roku to which we are not accustomed. The other we attached our VSee box to watch LiveBarn AAAboys hockey!Be sure to bring beach chairs, blankets, umbrella, pool noodles etc if you have them.Most of all leave your cares at home and enjoy! If you have forgotten anything you can take a road trip to Walmart, Target or many other places!
