Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time and that the property was a great fit for your family. It's always our goal to make sure both kids and adults have everything they need to relax and enjoy their stay.
We’d love to welcome you back again soon for another beach getaway!
We had an incredible beach getaway at this home! The location was perfect—just steps from the sand with amazing ocean views from the balcony. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed, from beach chairs to a fully stocked kitchen. We especially loved waking up to the sound of the waves and ending the day with sunsets on the porch. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. We’re already planning our next stay!

We had a wonderful vacation at Shell of a View. The location is amazing with a comfortable balcony overlooking the gulf. The bedrooms were comfortable for our party of 7. Check-in was convenient and timing for check-in was as expected.

Overall great property! Description says room for 2 cars in garage; one side houses the bicycles, which can be moved outside but you will need small cars to park inside the garage. A suv for 6 people will definitely not fit.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was perfect for our needs. Beach walkover with ramp was perfect to bring the wagon down for my granddaughter. Park with playground was just steps away also. The house and carriage house were equipped with everything we could have needed. The garage was super small and our cars did not fit inside. However, we were able to park one vehicle outside along the garage door, which I noticed most others did as well.

Reviewer Comments:
Great experience for our family. Beach views were excellent from porch and easy/quick access to beach walkover A (good for those having difficulty with many stairs). Low traffic street is nice, however parking can be tight with adjacent property. The one A/C unit for 1st and 2nd floor struggled to keep up on the second floor, *several box fans are a must. Picked an unlucky time with heavy construction next door and privacy being an issue at times with many workers and windows without blinds/shades. Overall great with only minor inconveniences.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the fantastic porch views and appreciated the proximity to beach access and the quiet street.
We understand Florida’s heat can be intense, especially in the summer months. We’ll keep your note about the second floor comfort in mind as we assess future improvements.
We’re also happy to report that the construction you experienced is no longer ongoing — so future guests can expect a much more peaceful environment.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!
