Beautiful home

Shellstone Cottage is a beautiful home that provided everything we needed. Beautiful views of the ocean and a great pool. The beach area was not crowded and we appreciated the use of the beach chairs and umbrella.

Checks all the boxes!

Beautifully appointed home that has all the right amenities and space for everyone. Everything has been thought of and the home was one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. Bathrooms in every bedroom, the beds were all extremely comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice. The kitchen had loads of space with a huge refrigerator and double dishwashers for those who like to eat in. The pool was also cared for well with plenty of seating/lounging for everyone. The views of the beautiful beach with the complimentary chairs and umbrella were the icing on the cake. You definitely need to stay here!

Incredible!

The cleanest rental we have ever stayed in, this was a true retreat! It felt like a spa and all the furniture and decor was beautiful, the pictures didn’t do it justice! The location was perfect and the pool was such a fun treat. The pool alarm made my mamma heart feel so safe and my kids loved all the fun rooms! The rental company was super responsive and kind. We loved it!

We had a wonderful stay

The house was very clean ( I would say the cleanest we have ever stayed at so A+ to whoever’s in charge of getting it clean after each stay) . Our property manager was Tyler - he was just a text away. We were impressed how quick they responded to our calls. The house was beautiful. Well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Great location just minutes from downtown rosemary beach. The beach was very clean and your lounge chairs get set up by the water nice and early. We loved everything about it and will be returning . Thank you
