I highly recommend the House of Shells. It was clean and perfect for 2 couples or a family to enjoy a weekend away. We were able to walk to the beach, only a half mile away, and we could easily Uber to downtown when we wanted to. They're are plenty of amazing local restaurants in the area and I loved that this location was close enough to downtown but fast enough away to be relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub and porch area and everything on the property was beautifully decorated.

Great stay! The space was clean and in a great location for exploring.

Perfect condition, very clean, smelled great!

Having a great time. Very clean. Only issue the double hook shower curtain rings had curtain on one side so they slid on an angle and two broke. We fixed the curtain and they work correctly now. Can replace the rings if you would like just let us know.

This is a beautiful home! My husband and I walked in to a clean, beachy, fully-furnished home that had everything we were looking for. My husband’s favorite part was the hot tub on the beautiful enclosed back patio, complete with a grill, fire pit, garden, and outdoor roku TV (a man’s dream come true). We loved sitting in the hot tub while catching a game on TV. I loved the kitchen—roomy and the appliances were beautiful. This house was SO CLEAN and the furniture was super comfy. I was also thankful for the little things like shower essentials, salt and pepper, complimentary bottled water, and beach essentials (umbrella, patio chairs, sand toys, and even fishing rods). We also got some complimentary passes for some of the attractions in St. Augustine and a couple coupons for some local desserts. It was hard for us to go do the fun things in St. Augustine because we were so comfortable in the home. 10/10 recommend!!

We had a fabulous & memorable vacation with the family. Lots to do & house met our needs.

Beautiful accommodations!! This condo was clean enough to pass a white glove inspection! We had everything we needed for our stay and the location was ideal to visit the beach or historic St. Augustine. Highly recommend!!

Lovely house, would recommend :)

Just a lovely place and huge we didn't even need the whole upstairs, Will come again next year.

Nice neighborhood that’s close to everything you could want.

We enjoyed this house and proximity to the beach. The back patio area was really nice along with the hot tub. They have a lot of board games, tv's and plenty of room to stretch. A great stay.

Nice clean property and easy access to multiple beaches.

Very nice place

The communication with the property owner was super. Owners responded to us immediately and made the reservation process easy and communicated via text once were were on site. We really liked the location. The ocean was a short walk away (ten minutes or so), and the townhouse was in a nice little neighborhood that enabled us to cut through to two other neighborhoods. I was able to get in a nice long walk every day without having to go onto A1A. There are a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance from the townhouse. The neighbors in the 6-unit building were friendly. The townhouse is fairly updated. The furniture does show wear. My only hesitation in writing this review is to not be overly critical. I feel the townhouse needed a better cleaning. I feel that it was just surface cleaned. The cooktop for example was dusty and dirty. A large vent was dusted only part way. The main tub's drain was incredibly slow with standing water. (The owners were great and were prepared to fix it but we asked that it be fixed after we checked out as we were able to use the upstairs tub). Lastly, the outdoor space was not swept and neatened up (which is a shame because it is a nice feature of the home). This is a nice property with great, receptive owners. I would just have preferred it be a little cleaner.

Nice clean property and easy access to multiple beaches.

We enjoyed our stay at House of Shells. Overall it was a lovely time in a great location, and iTrips was easy to work with. Just some things to note (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars): - The screen to the patio is broken so you can't keep the patio door open or bugs will come in. We were hoping for some fresh air on some cooler November nights. - There is no cable TV (Roku/Smart only) - The coffee pot was dirty. - The propane tank for the fire pit was empty (although once we reported this, it was replaced). - The house was ready early, which was great since we got in on an early flight. However, we were told we'd be notified if this were the case and were not. We found out by driving there and contacting property management when it appeared to be vacant. Also, bring your own soap and tissues!

Everything was just as advertised. Communication was excellent and we had a seamless visit. Thank you!

We grew up in the area and wanted to spend time with family over Christmas. The accommodations were perfect for us. The weather was not cooperative as the country was experiencing record cold but the townhouse was very comfortable. Neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located to some excellent restaurants and the beach. Our family always enjoys walking around during St Augustine’s night of lights. Clean and comfortable!

Perfect property for a small group weekend getaway. It was just as pictured and was only 10 min walk to the beach. Easy checkin/checkout with a guestbook for house information. Very safe family friendly neighborhood. The hot tub and fire pit made it pleasant to sit out on the deck at night. Kitchen was supplied with the necessaries and beds were comfortable. Would love to go back again next year with my family.

Great

We enjoyed our morning walks in this quite neighborhood. Would stay again!

The house of shells was an excellent place to stay very clean and feels a lot like home the hot tub and private back yard was great it was close to the beach I would definitely stay there again.

We were transitioning to FL and founded this last second gem. The communication and working with the owner was excellent. They were very accommodating. The hot tub was well received. Quiet and beautiful neighborhood. It made a transition less stressful. This comes highly recommended.

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the House of Shells this week! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, fixing meals in the well-equipped kitchen, playing the supplied board games, and using the gas grill out back. The decor is just beautiful and the townhome is sparkling clean! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us to make precious memories!

Property was very clean. Location is good. Only negative is there is no description of how to get to the beach. You can’t simply walk across A1A from the subdivision to get to the beach. The best way to walk is out the back of the subdivision on a road between properties (semi-wooded) and up 2nd street until you can cut over to 3rd street. Beach access is at 3rd street. We chose to drive down to the public beach access a mile or do down the road. Much more convenient for us with all our stuff. It wasn’t a huge deal for us. It’s just something we would have liked to have known rather than figure out when we got there.

Beautiful home! We felt right at home even while we were away!

Very nice house place! It was clean and quiet. Had everything we needed!

All the amenities. Close to the beach

We loved this place, and enjoyed our stay. It was a very short walk to the beach, and also right around the corner from one of Saint Augustine’s best restaurants. Casa de las shells had everything we needed for a relaxing no stress holiday. Very easy check in and check out process, it was exceptionally clean and well stocked with needed supplies, games, beach gear and towels. We would definitely book here again in the future.
