Great Vacation

We really enjoyed the location of this house. Beautiful neighborhood! Loved the decks in the evening after a full beach day. The house had everything we needed. We had a couple small issues and reached out to the host. She addressed them quickly and we were very happy.

EXACTLY what we needed!

We had a wonderful time at the Shell Shack! We needed a beach vacation that offered a relaxing space, but wasn't too far from the convenience of restaurants and grocery stores. The Shell Shack was a perfect fit for our family of 4! The walk to the beach was easy, the setting with the pond in the back was peaceful and rejuvenating. The spices in the kitchen are very well stocked, so when we cooked, it was easy! Our kids loved watching the turtles and fish in the pond, and genuinely wanted to stay forever. Andrea is very helpful and accommodating, and we would be happy to stay at the Shell Shack again when we come back!

Clean, cozy, close to beach

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and decorated very cute. We LOVED the sectional- super comfy and it fit all 5 of us for movie night :-) Very peaceful and quiet community. 5 min walk to beach. Beach chairs and wagon were convenient. Responsive host. Would definitely rent again!

Beach trip

We had a great stay. The property was very nice and clean. We waited through the storm and got to have 3 days in the sun. Where it rained we spent most of the time in the house and we had a great time.

Wonderful home!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Shell Shack! It was very clean, updated and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked and the family room very comfortable. The back deck was lovely overlooking the lagoon. We loved how the home was only a short walk to the neighborhood pool as well as the beach. We appreciated the owner’s great communication. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home where we made lasting family memories during the week we were there!

Will be coming back to the Shell Shack!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shell Shack. The property is very close to the beach and the back deck was awesome for relaxing and looking at the turtles in the lagoon. Nice that the property also includes access to a pool. House was clean and host communicated clearly and responded to questions very fast. We hope to be able to stay at Andrea’s place again! Highly recommend.

Beautiful House at an Excellent Location

We loved the location of this house. It was extremely quiet and we loved having the fountain and water behind the house. We loved to watch the turtles, crabs and fish swimming from the upper deck. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was very clean and organized. Andrea was excellent to work with. We would defiantly stay here again.

We love Ocean Isle and always stay in Island Park - this house was by far the best we have stayed in. The owner was great to communicate with and the house was just perfect. Beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed! Great location - loved seeing turtles, crabs and fish everyday in the lagoon. Will definitely be staying there again!

Great Place

This was perfect for a family vacation. We loved the location and the home itself. It does only have 2.5 baths instead of the 4 listed but that wasn’t an issue for us. The outdoor shower was amazing!!! The turtles would come up every time we went out on the deck so we tossed them celery and lettuce and tomatoes and it was beautiful. The sectional is so comfy and we will be back.
