We loved this ocean front cottage. Beautiful views of the ocean. Cozy, serene and quiet. Perfect place to reflect and refresh.

Great place and location to stay with your family! It’s obviously an older home but very well kept and clean upon arrival. We stayed two houses down last summer and that home was very recently remodeled with modern appliances, layouts etc. We enjoyed our stay at the Shem Cottage much more it just feels more like home to us. Will definitely stay again if available

Loved the location on the beach the windows in the front so you could see the ocean very cozy loved our stay would definitely go back

I love the inside of the home. The layout and closeness to the beach were superb. Spending so much time outdoors on the sand saves my opinion of this home. My concerns are the intense sway and the obvious age of the lower stilts. The home is older, so I understand that but it often felt as if we were on a boat with how often the home would rock side to side when someone went up the stairs. The wooden rails to the beach gave us all splinters at least once. My ten year old got a huge one in the bottom of her foot. The home had several roaches as well, running through the dishes in the cabinets and scurrying beneath the beds. That part was disgusting, so I had to buy paper products for us to eat and drink out of. There were plenty of towels, plenty of windows, and lots of character. Some of the character of the home I could have done without though! Overall, a very lovely trip but only because of how close the home was to the beach.
