    Really disappointed with the cleanliness of the property and the communication with the rental company (Salt & Sand Realty) that oversees the property. First, they sent us an email without the checkin code and didn't send for hours after I called to request it. At the house, I had some serious cleanliness concerns: there was a dead bug on one bed, a giant mysterious stain on another bed, the house does not have central AC so I went to turn on the bedroom fan but the fans in both rooms were covered in 1/2 inch thick dust that would have fumigated us had we turned them on. I found a hair beneath the fitted sheet in my bed AND a panty liner wrapper beneath the bed that we did not leave. I've contacted the host and realty company via email and phone over the course of a week but no response. Sliding door to the deck is broken -- when you try to open it, it literally tips out of the frame and you're on the brink of breaking it, so it's very inconvenient to get out to the deck.

    Very easy check-in and good communication with realty. Excellent location which was what drew us to rent. Negatives: no faucet at the fish cleaning station, so unusable. Kitchen cookware was cheap and had Teflon lining which flaked off. If you like to cook and eat in, not the best choice. Grill was pretty nasty. Beds were too soft for us but we do like a firm mattress. No broom or vacuum supplied so you would need to call and ask for that. We decided that next time we will spend more and upgrade to a house with better kitchen amenities. The beach location was perfect if these shortcomings aren’t deal breakers for you.

    We enjoyed our stay at Shellington. It was our dogs first visit at the beach and they had a great time! The location was perfect, just steps from the beach.The house can use a few update, but was comfortable for October weather.

    Outside pictures need up dated , many broken junk chairs and beach toys under steps? driveway unusable with a car, have to watch with a 4wheel drive, only one side usable. so much sand under house can hardly stand up under it let alone park.The grill looks like it was new in 1970, didnt dare to use. Main room upstairs was GREAT!!, BUT.Needs silverware any glasses only 2 wine glasses? Main ac unit not working, window units. No smoke detector in 1 bedroom?Loved the wraparound porch and beach location, IF THEY DO THE UPGRADES THE PLACE WOULD BE A GEM
