Shell Cove 9 · Gulf Front · Beach Gear

2BR · 1BA · Sleeps 6 · Direct Gulf Front · Private Balcony · Stairs Only · Stovetop Cooking (No Oven) · Beach Gear Provided · Queen Bed · Two Twins · Sleeper Sofa · In-Unit Washer/Dryer · 1 Parking Space
Front row to the Gulf.

Shell Cove 9 delivers what beachfront really means — step out your door and you're on the sand. This upper-level condo sits directly on Bradenton Beach with unobstructed Gulf views from the private balcony. No roads to cross, no boardwalks to navigate. Just the beach, the water, and miles of sand stretching in both directions.

The balcony is where the days begin and end. Large enough for outdoor furniture and dining, it's where dolphins appear at sunrise and sunsets arrive every evening. The second-floor position gives better views and more privacy than the ground-level units without the elevator wait of a high-rise.

Two bedrooms sleep six. The master has a queen bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The living room sleeper sofa handles the remaining guests. One full bathroom with tub and shower combination. Flat-screen TVs in both bedrooms and the living room. The kitchen has granite countertops, stovetop cooking, microwave, and dishwasher — no full oven, worth knowing for guests who plan to bake. In-unit washer and dryer.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and a cooler are stored in the unit — walk to the sand in seconds with everything already provided.

The free island trolley stops nearby.

Please note: this is an upper-level unit accessed by stairs only — there is no elevator.

One vehicle parking space included. One-week minimum stay.

*Final payments are due 60 days prior to arrival payable by personal check or Echeck (which will incur a $1.00 processing fee) we do take
credit cards for final payment with a 3% fee on the balance due
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Perfect Size and Location for Small Family

You don't need 1,000s of sq feet of space when the beach is literally just out the front door. We've stayed at Shell Cove before and its out "go-to". Perfect amount of space for a small family and the sunsets are gorgeous!

Gave 4 because beds should be replaced. Other than that place was clean and right on the beach!

We enjoyed our stay and the pictures give a true impression of the condo. Very small but perfect for a family of 4. Cannot beat the beach location which is why we stayed there. Beds need replacing and perhaps new linens. Overall we had a great stay.
