Sunrise Beach house description
Welcome to Shell Shocked, a gulf view pet freindly vacation home just steps from the beach with that old Florida charm and modern conveniences. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a unique layout, with the bedrooms on the first floor, and the living room, dining room and kitchen on the second floor. The kids will love the small loft area and the sleeping quarters tucked away in a cubby. The adults and children alike will love lounging by the pool and the beautiful decorator touches. Relax before the television and fireplace in the spacious living room, or relax in the viewing tower and take in the spectacular sight of the Gulf’s emerald waters.
All three bedrooms in Shell Shocked are on the first floor. As you enter the house, the first bedroom is down the hall to the right. There’s a queen bed, two night tables with lamps, a 20-inch TV, a spacious walk-in closet, and overhead fan. The bathroom has porcelain furnishings, a pedal sink and a walk-in shower. As you head back out the hallway, there’s a stacked washer/dryer combo in the bi-fold door closet. An adjacent closet allows for additional storage.
The second bedroom offers a queen bed, 12-inch TV and DVD player, an end table with a lamp, an overhead ceiling fan, bureau, sliding door closet, and a little “cubby” sleeping area with a single mattress that will be a favorite with the kids! The third bedroom has two twin beds, one end table with a lamp, a 12-inch TV/DVD player, bureau, sliding door closet, ceiling fan and an in-room pedestal sink. The bathroom has a shower/tub combo, porcelain fixtures and pedestal sink.
The plank pine wood staircase to the second floor conveys that old Florida feeling. At the top of the stairs you’ll come into the living area. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, a great reading nook, a small sofa, a larger sofa, coffee table, Adirondack chairs, two tables with lamps, CD stereo, TV/DVD, and two overhead fans.
The dining room has a large dining table with seating for eight. The room is brightly lit and beautifully decorated with fun, beachy décor. The breakfast table will be a hit with the kids. It has stool seating for four. The kitchen has a small island, underneath which is the oven. The electric stove top is on the countertop, which is Formica. The appliances are white and include a refrigerator, dishwasher, blender, coffee machine, toaster, toaster oven and microwave. The sink is stainless steel and has two basins. The fixtures are chrome and the designer cabinets are made of pine. A bathroom off the kitchen offers porcelain fixtures, a pedestal sink and a walk-in shower. A wine bar with pine cabinets is the perfect place to mix a cocktail after a day at the beach! A ladder accesses a small loft approximately 3-1/2 feet high, making it a hit with the kids, and is completely enclosed with a railing.
The deck off the kitchen has a barbecue and two chairs. A spiral staircase leads to the viewing deck. Here you’ll have great vistas of the Gulf of Mexico. There are four chairs, allowing you to kick back and relax. Back at ground level you’ll find the nicely landscaped pool area. The pool itself is kidney shaped and is surrounded by seating for eight and and can be heated for an additional fee.
Shell Shocked has parking for two cars. The beach access is approximately 150 yards away. Just meander down the street, following the bend in the street to the right. The access point is a wooden walkway on your left.

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place to stay, with lots of sunlight, comfy beds and a private pool. Fenced in yard is great for dogs. Wish the yard/pool area would've been clean but it rained our whole stay anyway. About 200 ft to the beach but gated community, serenity and the food/shops that are so close make this place a MUST!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My experience at Shell Shocked I felt could have been better. The internet did not work for our entire stay, and one of the twin beds broke. I also feel that the property needs a clean up outside, just a general garden clean up. It looked very overgrown. I did like the location to the beach, it was just a block away from private beach access.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I needed to rent a house within two weeks of looking. Royal Beach Rentals accomodated us and gave us a great deal. We got a great house with a pool. I would not suggest this house to families with small children as it is not baby proofed, but overall a great house.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After staying at Rosemary Beach a few years ago, we were concerned that a house in Santa Rosa would be further from the action and not as nice, especially since the cost was considerably less. Fortunately, we discovered that Shell Shocked was clean and spacious. Our only complaints have to do with the technology- one of the DVD players in the spare bedroom did not work, and the internet connection was a little slow Overall, we had a great time and look forward to our next visit!Did you find this review helpful?

Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We felt the pool area and pool need some attention. Pool floor and walls are dirty and deck area needs some tree's pruned. Disappointed that there were no chairs on deck thats views ocean. Two of the main lihting bulbs were out in main room. Also the two blenders did not work. We were happy with house being clean. I would tell a freind about house if pool is not important. We liked how close it is to beach. Manager responded on 7/9/2013: Thank you for your review. We hope you had a wonderful time at Shell Shocked dispite your disappointments with the pool area. Since your visit, we have had a pool company at the property to service and clean the pool. We also wish you had let us know about the inconvenieces you expereinced so we could have taken care of them for you. We want all of our guests to have an enjoyable vacation experience and hope to have you stay with us again so we can make sure you stay is as enjoyable as possible.Did you find this review helpful?

Rating Details: I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous girls trip and stayed at Shell Shocked. The only disappointment was the lack of porches / outside seating to have that glass of wine and hear the waves. Bathrooms small for 4 high maintenance ladies "stuff" but otherwise perfect. Manager responded on 8/31/2012: We are so glad that your "girls trip" was a sucess! We look forward to having you return to the sugar white sands of the Emerald Coast.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and pool were basically nice, certain things need attention however. Kitchen utensils need to be checked, lacking certain items like measuring spoons. Most of the frying pans were very scratched up. Grill interior needs an overhaul. Main couch was sagging in middle. Headboard in master bedroom needs to be tightened up as it bangs against the wall with any movement. Barstools are very loose and wobbly. The house's internet never showed up, but we were able to log in to another one out there. Extra blankets need to be at the house. Location was great, beach was very nice. Manager responded on 8/16/2012: Thank you for your review and for bringing your suggestions to our attention. We look to reviews to help us keep informed of things we can take care of to make our guest's stay more enjoyable. We agree, the location is great and Shell Shocked really is a wonderful property. We will look into the items you mentioned and can't wait to have your family stay with us again in the future.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
