We enjoyed this couple trip so much. It was relaxing and had so much fun fishing right out front of the condo. The reservation was super easy as well as the check out. Will use again in the future.

We had a great stay at What the Shell…clean and comfortable with the most amazing view from the ocean front balcony! It’s a second floor condo, but right at the stairway and easy three flights of steps…not a problem for us at all and we had my 80 year old mom with us! Thank you for a wonderful getaway! If I had any “negative” feedback at all it would just be that I wish there had been an additional chair in the living room…perhaps a recliner or something similar. But other than that, I cannot think of one thing that was lacking in any way! Highly recommend!

Had a great 3 night stay at "What the Shell". The location was perfect - right on the beach, with an awesome view. I will definitely visit again if I'm passing through the area.
