5 STARS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Direct Booking October 2024: We had a wonderful time staying at A Shell of a Time! The house is in a great location! The beach access was practically across the street! With only a few short steps to the beach, the house included all of the beach chairs, coolers, and sand toys you will need! It is also a quick walk to all of the islands shops, restaurants, and activities. The inside of the house is beautifully decorated and very clean. Everything is brand new! It’s very well organized and has everything you will need. The pool and outdoor tiki bar are very relaxing. The refrigerator in the garage made it very accessible to get to our drinks while lounging poolside. The elevator also made it very convenient to get our luggage up two flight of stairs. We can’t wait for our next vacation at A Shell of a Time!
AirBnb review November 2024: This is an absolutely stunning property! Not even sure where to begin with the review, the host Jamie was a great communicator and was always responsive and flexible with check-in AND check-out times. The property was as advertised: very clean and more than enough cooking ware to make it feel like you’re right at home. The owner/property management team definitely thought of everything their guest may need from the beginning to the end of their trip and provided as many items as possible. We have small children and it was surprising to find items for them as well (kids plates, cups, high chair, pack and play, etc). The area was nice and the public beach access was easily accessible. Looking at the ocean from the top deck was our favorite part of our stay. There are many options for food nearby as well as grocery stores and other shopping options. My family and I would highly recommend this property and we look forward to returning.
