Pool right outside the French doors of Shell cottage that was easily shared with the other 2 cottages. checkin somewhat difficult due to arriving midnight and darkness. We did manage to figure out code box without calling the manager. We are 65+tho so that may be why! Pool was well maintained… beach very short walk as in 100 feet or so. It was very hot on the island so we were in the pool or the gulf or enjoying our air conditioned cottage all of the time. ##### Evonne B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ellen S. Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect but … Shell Cottage was cute as can be . It was very clean , beautifully decorated and well equipped. However; there is an alarm on the entry door that is ear shattering. The check-in information states it is part of the rental license rules which I understand. There was no grey box on the outside of the door which can be pressed to allow entry within 45 seconds before the alarm goes off. There was a button on the inside that allowed us to leave the cottage.. I’m not sure I would stay here again because of this issue. Our neighbor was startled awake every evening we came in after 10pm. ##### Ellen S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle L.

The beach at the end of the street is practically private. No crowds. The pool is delightful. The free trolley a few blocks away is so convenient. And Liane, Sharon and Julie are totally professional and helpful. I will definitely be back! ##### Fay F.
