My stay in this house was amazing. This house is very beautiful, clean and feels like in home. Also, amazing and private backyard. During our stay in this house was a rainy day that made pool very green and dirty, so I contacted the owner and got immediate response within an hour pool was cleaned by professionals. Thank you very much.
The pool could use a hand rail for older folks. The housekeeping accessories could use updates. We liked the house and would use it again.
Beautiful Cottage.
The pool is private, surrounded by lush vegetation. You feel like you are at a resort somewhere with a 5-minute walk to the beach. We loved our stay!
We had a great time in late March for a week. We were a group of 2 adults and 3 large teenagers and there was plenty of room for all of us. Very comfortable and well-stocked house and great to have the pool as well. Only a 5 minute walk or 2 minute drive to a beautiful beach.
This was indeed a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach. However definitely bring your own supplies as there is very minimal basic supplies in the house. Maybe that’s the difference between renting from a rental agency versus a private owner but I was our first experience with finding very little in house. Also you may want to bring extra pillows as they were plenty of pillows but no pillowcases.
My husband & I decided to get away for a few days on our 15th anniversary in May (2021). This was our first time out since the Covid-19 pandemic, so we decided to stay somewhere not too far from home. Shell Cottage was just as advertised — it was VERY clean, well set up, in a quiet neighborhood, well supplied, close to Publix (within a short driving distance), and of course the beach! We loved its privacy, having the pool all to just ourselves, the peacefulness of the place, the comfortable mattresses in the cottage, and even the plethora of books one could choose to read while there! We had good internet connection too the entire time we were there. No complaints at all. Just an FYI: If you are a beach goer, you will need to walk a bit to get to a beach, but one can take one of the free island trolleys to whichever area you choose or drive a short distance. Sato Realty was very easy to deal with — they communicated well (my first time using VRBO) and everything was as they said it would be! VERY pleased with our stay, and no doubt will return again if we can!
We loved our shell cottage for 7 days. Everything was provided for a relaxing stay. Loved being surrounded by pictures of the sea and shells. The pool area was so pretty and private. Would love to come back.
Good experience
Very nicely decorated, well equipped and comfortable home, would definitely stay again. Also our first time on AMI, but not our last, it's a unique, very beachy place with wonderful restaurants, bars, and sunsets.
