EASY DEEDED BEACH ACCES
You have beach access and a large pool for the guests of Shells. We aren't talking about blocks to reach the beach, it's right across the street, you have access to the beach by using the private walk way next to one of our homes at 1433 W. Beach Blvd! 465 ft walk to the beach!

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Two Per side Yes two. Because you won't want to stay somewhere without an extra fridge once you have had them.

POOL
Big. Private to the two sides of the duplex: no sharing with other places nearby. The pool is open all year. It's a big rectangle, 33x17x3-5'. Lounge chairs are provided around the pool.

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home! That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests troubleshooting it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

PARKING
There is available onsite , offstreet, parking for at least 6 midsize vehicles if you use space under the home and stack well. In duplex units, please be neighborly about this.

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, GRILLS ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a starter supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have both drip coffee makers and Keurigs as well.

PETS
We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends at many locations. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Approval in a duplex location, especially for peak weeks, generally is only available for guests renting both sides of the duplex. Please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer. Inquire.

    Check-in was a breeze. I was well informed by email and we didn't have any problems at all. The kitchen facilities were good, and there is an extra refrigerator that came in handy. We had 17 people so we needed the extra space for drinks and food.We had a couple of glitches but we only had to send a text and it was resolved quickly. I would definitely use this host again.

    We had a great family vacation here! We really enjoyed the large spaces in the house where we could gather as a family. The amount of bathrooms was great with every bedroom having one. The house is very close to the beach, but the walk through the sand over the dune to the ocean was a little difficult for some older members of our family. Other than that, the ocean was beautiful and the beach was not crowded at all.

    Overall a wonderful place with plenty of room for our family of 16 to spread out and enjoy the beach. Everyone loved having their own bathrooms and two refrigerators was a game changer. Wish there was a pantry of some kind, so all of our dry food didn’t have to sit out on the counter all week, and there were a few maintenance issues we’ll share privately that kept me from giving this a perfect 5 stars, but nothing that would keep us from coming back.

    Very easy to get to the beach and then relax in the pool later. Close to other activities and restaurants. We took the kids to the waterpark and loved it.

    We had a wonderful time at Shells. It was really nice and was very clean. We were there with three of our four kids, spouses and 9 grandkids. We all loved it. There were a few outlets that didn't work (first floor bathroom, one in the family room and a couple upstairs). And the first floor bedroom/balcony door was hard to open. Otherwise everything was great!

    This home was perfect for our family of 14 (5 being kiddos 7-12 in ages). Extremely CLEAN, with plenty of room for all of us and we didn't feel like we were ontop of each other. Loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils for us to cook. Our vacation was the first for my husband and I to have all our adult kids and grandbabies together for an entire week and we all had a blast. The location was perfect, not far from the Hang out, the beach was a short walk across street and can be seen and heard from front porches, the bay can been seen from back deck and can watch the sunrise from there as well. Oh the pool was a hit with kiddos too. We cant thank Richard and his crew enough for a perfect home and for checking on us throughout our stay to make sure all was good. 5-stars is not enough as this house exceeded that. We will book again, our grandbabies said “your house is LIT”, thanks again Richard! The Russell family, East Tennessee
