Great property with everything we needed. The cart with chairs was an added bonus. When I think if a beach cottage, Papa Shack does a great job at fulfilling this ideal. Perfect size for my husband and I with our little dog. The lock was tricky at first, but our host wrote us back rather quickly. We loved the slow vibe of the island and can’t wait to come back!! Thank you for a marvelous stay!!

This property was very cute and conveniently located. Easy to access both the public beach walkover and at the other end of the street, beautiful views of the sunset over the bay. Air conditioning worked fantastically well and appliances are new and clean. We rented a golf cart and it made it easy to get around the island to various stores and restaurants on approved roads, and the parking at the beach walkover made getting our stuff to the ocean very easy. We brought our two dogs, the roads around the house are good for walks with pups! Would reccomend to anyone.

This little jewel is in a perfect location with great privacy and is equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We brought along kayaks, beach chairs and bikes and there was plenty of room. The fire pit and lights are an added attraction along with the grill and outdoor dining deck. Access was easy and the property was clean throughout. We plan to come back for our third extended stay in 2027. A big thank you to our hostess.

Great stay at the coastal cottage!

My family & I loved this place. The property feels secluded and private, yet it's a short walk to the beach and you can hear the waves crashing from the porch. The cottage living areas are spacious and open and had everything we needed to make meals at home if we wanted. Bedrooms were comfortable. All very clean and organized. We really loved this place!

We had a fantastic experience at the Papa Shack! It was just a short walk to the beach but felt private and quiet — the perfect mix. The home was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities like a washer and dryer.The host was incredibly communicative and made everything easy.

Home kitchen nicely supplies with dishes and cookware. Outside has plenty of room for parking nice area to sit.
