The place was great. Its about a 10 minute drive to all the main stuff in town, but there waa beach access across the street. Perfect distance from basically everything else. Absolutely perfect for 2 adults and 2 teens!
The Seashell Shanty is incredible. It truly feels like home away from home. Very welcoming, comfortable, and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Cute and quiet, had all the amenities we could imagine! We are a family of four and this was the perfect size for us, our kids loved it too! Short drive to the beach, honestly we could have even walked. We had an amazing time and we plan to stay again!
Very nice. Very clean. Full stocked. Great location straight to the beach over the main highway so recommend car/buggy. This place has a nice pool & playground too. We loved it.

Hi Katy, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are glad to hear we had all that you needed and the community pool and playground added to your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay except the initial hiccup of nature with outages. Thank God we came to know about the nicest people, owners of this property. They jumped in and made us feel like home away from home. We will come back again. We got a friend and a lifetime memory.
The beach house is so aesthetically pleasing. The sunrises through the window were beautiful. The beach house had everything we needed and more. The grass around the property does have quite a bit of mosquitoes though so bring bug spray. It was a really great weekend. Easy walk to the beach and really affordable price.

Dear Sophie,
Thank you for your review of your beach weekend at our house! We're so happy to hear you found it aesthetically pleasing - creating a relaxing and beautiful space for our guests is important to us. We're glad to know the sunrises were a highlight, too; there's nothing quite like starting a beach day with a gorgeous view!
It sounds like you had everything you needed for a great getaway, and the easy beach access and affordable price are definitely perks.
Thanks so much for letting us know about the mosquitoes in the grass. We completely understand how unpleasant they can be. Mosquito control is a top priority for us, and we'll be exploring additional solutions to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests.
We're glad you had a wonderful beach weekend, and we'd love to welcome you back again soon!
Sincerely,
The Seashell Shanty
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication from our host and hostess was fabulous! The accommodations were lovely - indoors and out! Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach. We loved it!!! I only wish we’d been able to arrive earlier and stay longer! Next year!!! 😉
A++++ property!! Easy check in and once we opened the front door, we were amazed at how gorgeous the layout was! The decor and furniture is appointed perfectly! The rooms and beds were set up super cute! The bed was comfortable and the shower was great too! No detail was overlooked when it came to amenities! The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pans, utensils, etc...everything worked perfectly and everything was lined out to the T in the instructions/information about the place! We absolutely loved it and hope to visit again soon!!
The property was clean and just as adorable as the pictures on site. It was very close to immediate access and the owners provided a lot of extras to help us during our stay.
The only complaints would be things outside of the owners control. The smell, due to standing water, was terrible when downstairs and the mosquitoes were quite horrible. However we lathered up on bug spray and enjoyed our stay! We will definitely be using this house again in the future.
It was just me and my 2 boys. The cabin is fantastic! Wi Fi was perfect with 3 tvs and our phones connected. Very short walk to the beach! We walked every time! The chairs and wagon that were provided were of great use and appreciated! The neighborhood is quite and family oriented. Everything is provided..shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, beach towels. LOVE the decor throughout! Its giving 5* Hotel vibes! We really enjoyed our stay!
This little house is so cute & has the basic needs for a beach vacation. Conveniently located for a quick walk to the beach & the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful while we were there. The only down fall we had are the mosquitoes! Bring all the mosquito repellent and come enjoy a great escape at the beach. The provided towels, beach toys, chairs etc were life savers because we forgot a couple of items but they had us covered. My husband was in love with the 14 cup coffee maker provided and the stock of items the kitchen had for basic cooking. I would definitely book the house again in the future.

Dear Melinda,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you found the little house to be cute and functional for your beach vacation. It's great to hear the location was perfect for quick beach access and offered a peaceful atmosphere during your stay.
We appreciate the heads-up about the mosquitos - we'll definitely take that into consideration and see if there's anything we can do to mitigate them further. We're so glad we were able to help out with the forgotten beach essentials and that the kitchen was well-equipped for your needs. A full coffee pot and happy husband - that's what we strive for!
We would love to welcome you back again in the future. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks again for choosing our little beach house!
Sincerely,
The Seashell Shanty
