The house has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time on a nice, clean beach. Close to good restaurants, but easy to cook your own meals. Plenty of comfy beds. Games and books for indoor fun. Great big covered porch looking out to the ocean!

There are a few minor things that need immediate attention. The main bathroom tub drains very slowly. In a 5 minute shower it was at the top of my ankles. The sink in the main bathroom trickles when you turn it on, even with hot and cold water on at the same time. There is one board on tue back deck that needs to he screwed down. It is right in front of the gate and is a trip hazard. The house could use several updates but I live in an old house so it reqlly didn't bother me, for some it might. I look at it like this, I eat and sleep in the house thats about it. I am there for the heach. The access to the beach is very easy and convenient. The owner communicated well and was even pretty relaxed on us checking in a little early as we arrived a little ahead of schedule. As far as the cleanliness of the house I will say that it could use a good deep cleaning. The things you expect to be clean were but all of the out of the way areas were dusty and looked like the cleaning crew just never touches. Overall we were happy witu our stay though.

We were very disappointed in the house, considering what we paid to stay. It was a little unsettling to pull up and see a support beam with a major crack in it being held together by a 1x4. The master shower floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile, the back door handle is rusting and it cut my hand as well as my husband's. There are rusty nails sticking up out of the deck that we had to hammer down so no one else got cut. The margarita machine had mold growing in it, and most of the utensils in the drawers were dirty. As well as pans that were under the stove. One of the stove burners doesn't work, the coffee pot was caked in burnt grounds and I had to hand wash dishes the whole time because the dishwasher is in bad shape. When we got there the key box was wide open. Anyone could have been waiting for us inside. I did learn upon leaving that it is impossible to close all the way. The pictures/listing of the this house need a major update. I did get a small refund but only after the owner suggested I not say anything on social media.

Cute cabin! Needs TLC, but has everything you need.
This cabin was perfect for our family You can't ask for a better view. The walkover and water faucet along the walkway made going back and forth to the shore easy. The owners are making improvements, but truly it has everything you need to have a wonderful time. Lots of towels, washer/dryer, comfy beds, bunks for the kids, it had everything we needed. HEB is just a 20 min drive away and there are great restaurants along the way. The owner was easy to connect and communicate with during our stay. With some more TLC, this will be a true gem. In the meantime, it provided lifelong memories for our family just like it is.

July Beach Trip
The property was perfectly located on the beach. We enjoyed waking up each morning and being able to see the ocean. Overall, the trip was good. There were a few issues with the home. The lock box on the door for the key was extremely difficult to open. It takes several minutes to finally get the box open so that we could get in the door. Inside the home was clean, but there were several broken items in the home. The inside of the dishwasher was rusted and unsafe to use. The knob in the guest shower was broke and I cut my finger on it trying to turn the shower on. Other items like the blinds, light cover, and gate to deck were also broken. The home is in need of some minor repairs to so that it can be safe for all guests.

broken gate and impossible front door
Property was not well kept. gate on porch was rusted and falling off.
we waited an hour to get into the property due to front door sticking and unable to open. Lots of weeds around property. We could not sit on the porch at night, although we took repellant we were eaten alive.

This property could be nice and probably once was but it has been neglected. It needs a lot of work on the outside and the inside. The grass was not mowed like the properties on either side which made the mosquitoes horrible. I feel like with the amount of money we paid it could have been a lot nicer.

We enjoyed our 4 days very much at the Enchanted Shell beach house! Holly and Kent the owners are wonderful and so easy to deal with. This place is all about location, location, location! The huge deck overlooking the ocean and beach were our favorite! Such easy beach access, right there, just feet away. What a wonderful time we had!

The family all agreed, the location was great (right on the beach with a ramp to the beach) and the decorating of the home was spot on beachy decor.
We did have some major issues with cleanliness and broken or damaged items.
We were only staying for the weekend, so we took care of some of those items ourselves.
When we returned I emailed the owner to let him know our concerns, and to this date I have not heard from him. That is no way to gain confidence from your customer base.

The location was beautiful and the porch was amazing looking out at the gulf.
The house itself could use some TLC and we ended up buying our own small grill. The beds were extremely stiff.

This house is an older property, thus there are things that need attention and updating. That being said, it was sufficient for our needs and my husband and I enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the waves. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed. The property owner was very prompt in communicating and answering questions. With a boardwalk straight from the house onto the beach, the access to the sand and surf was great. The wind was so strong that we never had a problem with mosquitoes.
