The location and property made this a fantastic place! However, I felt the only downfall was that upon arrival we had to make ALL of the beds and then basically clean the house and remove all bedding and towels to get out by 10:00 am, which is very tough with the amount of people. Other than that we loved the place.

Great location, close to beach & short walk to boardwalk. Grocery stores are close too. Bedrooms are fine with tv in every room. Sectional sofa was old & looked like arms were chewed, covered the sofa with sheets & blankets.

5 star stay!!

Beautiful, clean, so close the beach access, beach was quiet and beautiful. We had babies with us ranging from 1-4 years old and they had the best time. We brought baby gates for the steps. We never had an issue with anything whatsoever. The rental place was so nice and accommodating. I can’t say enough about it. This is the nicest beach house we’ve ever rented and it was such a wonderful vacation!!

Be prepared to make 5 beds when you arrive and strip the sheets and put comforters back on before you leave. Linens were in laundry bags in the living room. Dishes must be washed AND put away before leaving. The pet fee is PER dog. All of this should be disclosed in the listing. Photos need to be updated in the listing. Pricey for the amount of work you have to do upon arrival and departure. Otherwise, it is a nice, clean place, close to the beach.

Fantastic Location

Our family had a wonderful time at Shell N Shine. The location is fantastic - diagonally across the street from the public beach access. This was essential for traveling to the beach with babies. The beds were comfortable, plenty of space, and very clean. The house was well stocked with board games and kitchen essentials. Great parking for 4 cars, that even left room for small sitting area at the front of the driveway. The beach supply closet had all you'd need to head to the sand including a wagon. The older kids enjoyed the boogie boards. Great N. end location - we rented golf carts and the cars barely left the driveway. Overall a great stay and a great house.
