We rent in the village regularly but this was our first time at this property. This is a great rental for the price. You have a little of everything…ocean view, canal, dock, pool and beach access and all the amenities of home.
The house: This property is an older trailer but renovated and beautifully decorated. We had the sleeping capacity max and were all comfortable. Everything worked and it was clean.
The dock: The dock was important to us because we bought a boat. Also, no issues with the dock. It has a fish cleaning station which is a plus. Also, yard is large enough for trailer parking.
The owners: We had no issues with the owners. We messaged several times with questions and got a quick response each time.
The area: We love Shell Point and my family has been fishing here for over 50 years. This is a great family trip. You have the beach and pool for smaller children and the boating activities for the older kids and adults. We scalloped mainly, east of the lighthouse. But we also hung out on the sandbar, fished, drove the boat over to a restaurant, took the lighthouse tour, and did some skiing and tubing. But I don’t recommend skiing unless you REALLY know the area. Oyster bars, mud flats, and just shallow water are everywhere. We brought our bicycles and rode them to the beach and pool too.
Negatives: The only negatives is that there is no marina at Shell Point. So be prepared for a quick trip into town for bait, fuel, and ice.
