SEASHELLS BY THE SEASHORE - Golfers paradise for 2026 US Open

We were a group of 15 (7 adults and 8 children) ranging in age from 9-16, and 2 dogs. Overall, we had a great stay! We loved the pool, hot tub, and the slide for the pool. They were ready for use when we arrived, and the kids were in the heated pool within an hour! There were enough bedrooms for all of us and seating in the dining room for us all to eat together. Great outdoor tables and several new umbrellas.Great location. Private, mostly fenced backyard (2 small areas where the dogs could get out), and only 10 minutes to beautiful Ponquogue Beach. The backyard had areas of shade, but the pool was still in full sun and kids spent hours in it. The backyard felt very private with hedges and trees from neighbors.Challenges: 1. Beds: Some beds were full (not queen as listed). King Bed was 2 twins pushed together with mattresses of unequal height.2. Kitchen Storage: Very limited storage for food items as all the kitchen cabinets were full of dishes, mugs, glasses (much more than could be used by a group of 15)3. General Maintenance: Several things seemed not to be upkept: examples: water line to slide for pool was broken, railing into pool was wobbly, leaking sprayer for upstairs kitchen sink…4. Many outside chairs needed cushions, but the game room where the cushions were stored seemed musty.Of Note: The owners were very responsive when we had an issue with the smoke/fire alarms going off starting at 5 am. She responded promptly to our problem.

We very much enjoyed this large spacious house with great pool. Located close to town and beaches.

Pool and hot tub were littered with bugs and dirt upon arrival. Pool guy shocked the pool and kids could not swim for 3 hours. All 6 kids and 2 adults got ear infections starting on day 4, they were the only ones that went underwater in the pool. House not maintained well, broken pool chairs. 12” weeds drowning in gutters. Weeds around perimeter of house and property. Mosquitoes very bad even during the day. Everyone had bites especially the kids even with repellent. Microwave above stove not working bc flame was so high on the stove the microwave was melted and the door would not close. Could only use 2 burners. Sunken pavers pose a safety risk. Discovered on 5th day no smoke detectors on 1st level. Owner did respond quickly but should be part of a checklist before new clients arrive. House did not feel clean although strong pinesol smell at arrival. Mattresses not comfortable and some sheets are very thin. Pics are very old the trees in the back are now very big can’t even see house behind. No slide at the pool in pics, the slide is at least 10 years old it’s faded from years in the sun. Strong damp smell in game room due to old deflated rafts and enormous amount of chair cushions and old boxes. Located on a loud busy road. Vrbo needs to react, no one else should have this experience.

Just as described and in reviews - the property is spotless, is much bigger and more updated than in the pictures! The management went above and beyond from a personal welcome and a welcome basket, to being incredibly responsive with any of our questions. Thank you Michelle!!! The pool is huge with a slide - hours of fun for all! Hot tub as a cherry on top. Full game room with anything your heart desires. Fully equipped kitchen inside with a huge table that accommodated our large group. Room to spread out, tons of bathrooms and entertainment. We loved our location - minutes to a great supermarket, 10 by car minutes to ocean beaches, 3 minutes by car or a nice 10 min walk to bay beach, parking at the bay beach free before 9 am. Close to other towns, shops, museums, wineries, which we hit up during the week. The house provided a ton of privacy. We had a great time with three generations of family and will be back!

Our group - five families, all with children - LOVED this home. We enjoyed lots of swimming in the beautiful heated pool with slide, as well as relaxation poolside on the large patio and in the hot-tub. The home has plenty of space to stretch out in, and is located in close proximity to beaches, stores, and other amenities. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and lots of great memories!

We had a great time at the Shell House especially our grandchildren . They are in the pool , the water slide is great . The hot tub is on all day . TVs in every room . Plenty of bath towels . The place is well kept . We are thinking of pre-booking the other house in next summer.

The home was better than the listing. The owners were extremely helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend this home to everyone.

Spent 2 weeks in this Hampton Bays house with family coming and going (average of 12 adults and 4 kids at anytime). Favorite spots clearly the pool, hot tub, and game room. Kitchen well stocked and large area connecting dining area to living room kept family engaged together. Porch in front and back constantly used as well, especially in morning. Went to Coopers Beach, Canal Cafe, Sag Harbor and a few outdoor restaurants- Favorite was Clarissa! Went back a second time! Would absolutely go back!

Great for a large family
