We had a great stay at the Shell Shack, it was a perfect beach stay for our Family of 5 and dog. It was exactly as advertised and we had a great time - even with rainy weather! Would return and recommend. Short walk to the beach was a breeze, didn't need a golf cart!

Perfect for a small group getaway! Close to the beach. The downstairs bunk room had a bunch of bikes in it so it wasn’t really useable but the couch upstairs is a pullout so it all worked out for my group of 5. Host is easy to reach and the place was clean!
