Our family felt right at home at Half Shell Haven and overall we really enjoyed our stay! The host was exceptional and even had fresh treats for our dog. Excellent location and the backyard is an oasis where we spent our nights in the hot tub. Our family will definitely stay again when visiting Crescent beach! Thank you again!
