Stayed Jun 27, 2025The Shell House was perfect for us. The location was just minutes from Manasota Beach & an easy drive to other beaches in the area. It was very comfortable & had everything we needed, plus lots of extras from our hosts. Hosts were very responsive with any questions we had & gave excellent recommendations for dining, activities, etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed Jan 18, 2025We loved our stay, Kim and Alan had the house stocked beautifully and the garage had everything a person could want for a day at the beach!!! The backyard bbq, fire pit and lounge chairs were wonderful, we would recommend the house for anyone interested in a true Florida experience.

Stayed Jan 10, 2025This was our most comfortable stay we have ever had using VRBO! Really felt at home the whole time. We had a long road trip so we LOVED having access to the full garage (and remote clicker). Kim & Alan left us goodies that were completely unexpected but lovely to enjoy (bottled water, root beer, fresh strawberries/dessert cups, wine, chocolate gators!). Also, 2 mins from Manasota Beach, but also 20 mins to South Brohard/Caspersen made this a great spot! Would ABSOLUTELY stay here again. Thanks so much for sharing your space with us!!

Stayed Jan 4, 2025Shell House is a perfect retreat especially under imperfect conditions. Red tide and unseasonably cool temperatures limited outdoor activity but the arms of Shell House wrapped around us. The interior of the house offers plenty of soft places to land. The front porch allowed us to bask in the radiant heat; the deck required jackets but well worth it since Kim and Alan have a feeder and provide food for the squirrels and birds which were abundant. The first time we took out the bikes, one developed a flat. Texting the owners asking if they could repair the tire, they instead brought us brand new his and her bikes to ride…within hours. Fresh fruit, chocolates, key lime pie, waters, and wine upon arrival spoke volumes for us. They were expecting us. We were honored guests the minute we walked into Shell House. And Kim and Alan will always be, to us, we’ll-respected hosts. Thank you so much!
