Please note that our home is not directly on the beach. The beach is across the street with no other properties between us and the water. Our association owns a beachfront lot across the street from our home, you can walk or drive right to the beach.
Love this place. Second year in a row for us. Our dog Chester loves it too.
This property has a fantastic view, which we loved. The house was immaculate and clean. Stephanie is friendly and the best host! She kept in contact 24/7. We have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly staying here. We will be back and can definitely suggest this house to visitors with a small family. Thank you very much for sharing your house with us, Stephanie.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Had a small issue getting into property but management fixed it. We will be putting this house as a favorite for setup and location to beach. Thank you
Another fantastic relaxing week! Can hardly wait for our next visit!
This is our first stay at this property, but one of many to the area. We will only use this location from now on! Beautiful spot with all the amenities you need, gorgeous view, and super relaxing. Close to town to get what you need, but far enough out from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. The owner is fantastic on communication. I can't recommend this place enough!
This was our second stay at this property. We just love it! The view, the close proximity to the beach, and the darling beach house won’t disappoint!
Wonderful, clean house with a view of the beach. Great balcony to sit on while enjoying a morning coffee. Property owner very responsive to any questions you may have and wants you to enjoy your stay at the beach.
This was lovely place to stay even when the weather was cold and raining. The view was amazing!
We had a good stay for the weekend! If there is a heavy rain before your stay make sure to bring lots of bug spray as would be anywhere in the area! House is great! We loved sitting outside and drinking our coffee in the morning and margaritas at night!
So much fun and the house was so nice. Perfect location and easy walking distance to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!
We spent a long weekend at Seashell Getaway to reset before school starts next week. My girls (9) and (4) loved having their own room and being right across from the beach. Everything was as described or even better. I knew the house would have towels and kitchen supplies, but literally had everything we could need from paper towels, dog bowls, bug spray, laundry detergent, and board games. The only negatives were mosquitoes that swarmed us, but again there was bug spray which helped until we could go to the store and get our own. We hope to visit again!
All was great. Except couldn't the cargo lift to work. So besides toting our belongings up and down. We had really nice time
Having rented through VRBO a few times and other agencies a few more times, I have to say this was the easiest and the most comfortable. While there are 26 steps to get to the front door, the walk up is worth it The house is clean, colorful and comfortable with wonderful views.
Our experience was simply amazing! Beautiful views of the gulf and very easy access to the beach. The lower deck is a wonderful place to sit with your morning coffee or sit and watch the pelicans fly over the beach. We will definitely use this beach house again!
Another great vacation at the seashell getaway. The new touches are fantastic. The lift is WONDERFUL! Can’t wait to visit again!
We enjoyed this gem of a location with such a great view! The house is beautiful and all of the included amenities were great!
This house was just as described in the listing and actually even better. The cargo elevator was a great surprise and cut down our trips up and down the stairs when coming and leaving. We loved the views of both the ocean and intracoastal waterway from the middle deck. The location to the beach was great! The house is very clean and had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend!
Great place to spend a week. House is as represented. Quiet area, but close to Crystal and Winnie for Restaurants. Great beach combing in the area....found sea beans, sea glass, and interesting shells.
Really smooth process. The owner seems to be more responsive, and professional than most. We really felt the pictures on the listing were a little inaccurate of the property... the property was even nicer than what we felt the pictures showed. We will absolutely look to stay here again on any future trips to this area.
Very clean and quiet. We had a lovely view of the beach and fell in love with the lower deck. Such a great place to relax and feel the breeze with family. The cabin had everything we could ever ask for. I can definitely say it felt like paradise! I would definitely recommend this cabin to everyone.
The place was great for our family. The lower deck was perfect to look out towards the IC and the gulf after grilling dinner. We would stay again, even though Hwy 87 can be noisy.
Seashell Getaway was perfect for our trip to the Texas Bolivar Peninsula . Our grandson & his fiancée met us there. We took them to see alligators, and the migrating and nesting birds. We loved the fresh seafood at Stingarees. The house was clean, comfortable and perfect location. Thank you
