Welcome to the Trusty Shellback, a spacious and fun home for the whole family! The house offers six bedrooms and five baths, with each of the bedrooms boasting a fun theme. Recent renovations make this charming home even more special, ensuring a modern and comfortable experience for all guests.

The great room is spacious and open, allowing the whole family to relax, play games, cook, or watch TV together on ALL new smart TVs. The kitchen is open to the great room and is stocked with all the kitchen essentials needed to whip up a delicious meal. The garage has been converted into a game room with Ping-Pong and foosball tables, as well as an arcade-style basketball game. This area is perfect for indoor fun and getting out of the sun. The first floor also features a laundry area and a kitchenette featuring an Ice Maker, offering easy access to the backyard for preparing snacks and grabbing cool beverages while enjoying the pool. The Trusty Shellback is only one and a half blocks from the ocean, with easy walking access to the beach. If you'd rather stay poolside, we've got you covered! A covered deck with three picnic tables, bar seating, a gas grill, a kids' sand area, and an in-ground pool, complete with a water-splash feature and waterfall, provides plenty of outdoor fun for the whole family. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to have a unique vacation at the Trusty Shellback. With recent upgrades and more on the way, it’s the perfect place for a memorable family getaway.
