Jeremiah went out of his way to help as much as possible, will totally comeback next year, nice peaceful spot, the kayaks was a great addition! I would recommend to people who want to be at the beach without the bustle of the city overall great experience!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Water is shallow and calm, great for little ones (bring water shoes). The setting is soooo serene. Lots of wildlife - my mom in particular liked checking in on the osprey nest right across the street from the house :) Caught red drum, black drum, and a small shark off the pier! House is spacious and beautiful, beds were very comfy, and linens were generous! Host also responded very quickly to questions/communications!

Downside is having to haul your own garbage. Shower curtain pretty stained. Shower curtain fell on child. Curtains missing on some of the windows. Air does not cool enough. We had to use fans. Game room was super hot. Stairs to 2nd floor felt super wobbly and did not feel secure. It is a beautiful home with amazing views. just had these flaws.

We saw so many stars during our relaxing stay at Shell Hill Cottage- including five shooting stars💫💫It is such a beautiful, peaceful spot to enjoy nature. I loved bird watching in the early morning on the upper deck and the kids loved kayaking and finding hermit crabs.
