Half Shell Hideaway
We loved our stay at the Half Shell. The views were amazing, the widelife (birds) abundant, and the peace and serenity exactly what we were looking for. Having pictures of the kitchenette in the listing would have been helpful. It was a pleasant surprise. Although we didn't cook, it had everything we would have needed to make a small meal. Everything went smoothly and we look forward to staying at this location again really soon.

Magical!
It was beautiful! Full moon set over the water with a bright light trail to me. New picture windows have a wonderful view from bed.The kitchenette was new and pristine. Stove top, microwave toaster. Sitting at the bar looking out at the view was wonderful. The website is inaccurate and not up to date which worked in my favor.

Snug as a bug
Great location, right on the beach and the Snug is perfect for 2 people. For a small space, it is very functional and the bed is super comfy. The bathroom was lovely and the cleanliness was top notch. Ocean view from the little eating bar in the kitchen and and an ocean view while laying in bed. While the stairs can seem a bit daunting, they are good for your glutes!

Quaint Little Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at The Half Shell. A bit small, but very bright & quaint. Enjoyed the ocean views.
We lucked out our first night, as no one occupied the top half of the house. Second night some thumping around/foot steps from the upstairs neighbours. Other than that, we very much enjoyed our stay. Liked how central the property was to everything. Good walking distance from a restaurant/pub, cafe & liquor store. Would definitely stay again.
