    It's hard to please everyone in our group but 'on the half shell' was an overall hit for the whole family. The house was sparkling clean, decor was updated, and there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. The only hiccup is that they do not allow early check in, despite the house being ready hours before our arrival. Be sure to plan accordingly (no cold food in car, have meds accessible, etc.). Otherwise, it was glorious!

    This was our first time coming to St. George Island, 6 adults and 3 kids. On the Half Shell was the perfect vacation home for us. We enjoyed the large covered porch over locking the gulf, large open lving space inside, and 4 bedrooms and bathrooms. The layout and condition of the home made our time spent indoors very comfortable. The management company and owners were quick to respond to our needs and very accomodating. We can't wait to go back and will definitely been staying here again.

    We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time. This beach house is wonderful for a large family. Lovely, well equipped, and spacious. The pool area is beautiful, and the pool heater worked great. The area under the house is spacious and clean as well. Wonderful for games and riding bikes.
