Beach trip

We had a great stay. The property was very nice and clean. We waited through the storm and got to have 3 days in the sun. Where it rained we spent most of the time in the house and we had a great time.

This was our second time staying at this property and I highly recommend it. It’s a lovely house and so close to the beach, grocery stores, and restaurants. The owners have done a great job keeping the place maintained and modern. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a vacation spot in this area.

We love Ocean Isle and always stay in Island Park - this house was by far the best we have stayed in. The owner was great to communicate with and the house was just perfect. Beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed! Great location - loved seeing turtles, crabs and fish everyday in the lagoon. Will definitely be staying there again!

Perfect house and location

This home feels fresh and new, equipped with everything you need on vacation. Kitchen is fully stocked, furniture is nice and comfortable, and there's plenty of outdoor seating/lounging areas to enjoy. Beach access is right across the road (less than a 5 min walk) - very convenient. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Ocean Isle!

Wonderful home!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Shell Shack! It was very clean, updated and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the family room very comfortable. The back deck was lovely overlooking the lagoon. We loved how the home was only a short walk to the neighborhood pool as well as the beach. We appreciated the owner’s great communication. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home where we made lasting family memories during the week we were there!
