Location, view, floor plan, ping pong table were all stellar! Excellent view of the bay, herons, seals, clams, crabs, shells and rocks galore.Cons: it's a bummer that you can't check in until 4:00 p.m. and must check out by 10:00 a.m., leaving us only one full day to really enjoy such a lovely setting, and then to have to have to do some of the cleaning for which we have paid a cleaning fee, on top of all the other fees, with a 10:00 a.m. check out was also a bummer. The advantage to a hotel is that you don't have to do any of the cleanup and you can often get breakfast made for you. While I know this has become standard for vacation rentals, it seems like things are becoming exorbitant and a little bit over the top for the prices that are being charged for homes. Also very disappointed that while a pool is advertised, we would have had to pay 8 per person to swim for a period of only 3 hours and the person who rented the place would have had to attend and pay the price as well even though I had no interest in going to the pool. Needless to say, we didn't bother! I didn't see where this was spelled out in the information prior to booking, though I may have it missed it. Despite these issues, if the prices were to remain approximately the same, we would most definitely rent again because of the gorgeous location and proximity to other activities and lovely beaches. Thank you for offering this property to vacationers.

Cute house with great views. We really enjoyed the outside patio, it was fun to watch the seals and birds. The home was clean and the shuffle board and table tennis in the garage was a great surprise! The bedrooms were comfortable but the carpet in the main bedroom was stained and I wish the king bed had been in the main bedroom; because except for the carpet the room is very pretty and had amazing views of the sunrise in the morning. We didn't get to fish or crab but you could do either if you stroll down the plank in the backyard. The subdivision had a lot of beach accesses very close by and the restaurant at the hotel was an added treat. Great stay!

The house is in an amazing area with the bay in view. Cute little house, I'm not one who write negative reviews so dont take it that way. I just wanted to bring up some flaws, because first impressions goes along way. I'm not expecting the grand hotel or anything fancy but when you put in the hard working money you saved to enjoy vacation you expect to feel like your in a clean environment. Well lets get started the carpets in the livingroom, and bedrooms need some shampoo, the blinds are pretty much in need of cleaning or be replace(pretty dusty) and the missing one's with just brackets in the window frame.the sliding door curtain could use a fast wash too. We were having a game of naming the dust bunnys hanging of the ceiling. Bring hand soap none given if you wash your hands after a trip to the bathroom none available. Maybe I'm worng and I'm sorry but when you pay cleaning fees you expect a clean house.With alittle TLC and some up grades this place would be amazing. I want to thank Shell Haven for sharing your home with us we made good memories. That view is what we paid for, for sure..

The house was in a great location, beautiful deck and fit pit but the interior is old and needs a complete re-do. The furniture is very old, The living chair was broken, the lamp shade had stains and the ceiling fan was full of black dust. It could be a nice place if they made some changes. The best part of the house was the location and views.
