The Shell Shack is awesome. We just returned home from a 4-night stay and it fit our large family of teenagers and dogs extremely well. Let's start with the outside amenities... The garage is fully stocked with some beach gear, darts, ping pong, foosball, a grill, and beach bikes! The outdoor decking on both levels facing the ocean was an incredible place to read a book early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Outdoor enclosed shower to rinse sand off has warm water... amazing! Inside... the beds are super comfortable, the kitchen has most of what you'll need, and the seating areas are flexible for hang-out or movie time. Most of all, the location is fantastic. It literally is a 1 minute walk from the beach, which was not crowded at all... this may have been the season (mid-May) but this is not a densely populated part of the Island. We will be back!!

The house was everything and more the downstairs with the games and beach supplies was a major plus we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and be quick and easy access to the beach and fully stocked kitchen. We weren’t missing anything we needed and everything was very clean and asked pictured.

Shell Shack was in an ideal location and a very short walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint. We enjoyed the views from both decks and found the house to be very clean and organized. It was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We hope to be back again!
