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
Beautiful home that was perfect for our family vacation!!!! Very spacious interior of house was perfect giving our large family ,with grandchildren ,much needed space. The outdoor kitchen and pool was amazing!!!!! We are enjoyed our stay tremendously!!!!!!
My extended family, spanning 4 generations, just spent one week in our third consecutive summer (plus one Thanksgiving) in one of Marilyn's gorgeous homes. This time we were at Shell House and there isn't a better place for a family reunion. It's a huge, well appointed home with a gorgeous pool and huge game room. Everything is in good working order, but if the tiniest thing goes wrong, Marilyn and her staff get right on it! We have already paid our deposit for next summer because we know a great thing when we see it!
Where to stay to attend a wedding and extend into a vacation for a family of 11 adults and 4 kids? This house was just right, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, but the best features were the pool and hot tub, with lots of outdoor furniture. The property was clean and well maintained. The game room equipment is old, but it was a huge hit with the grand kids. The owner responds immediately to a problem. The outdoor grill did not work properly, so she brought a new one. The location was great, attractions are near by, we fished in Montauk, went to the aquarium, and golfed. Close to beaches, but we had so much fun in the pool, never went to one. Lots of restaurants in the area, but we never went out, too much fun cooking and barbequing. A good value compared to other homes and hotels.
