Excellent condo in an excellent vacation! The family LOVED our trip! Baby turtles hatched just a few steps outside our door!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
This place was perfect for our family of 4! The location is great with only a short walk to the beach. The view was spectacular and the unit itself had everything we needed. A few extra amenities (games and the like) made our down time more enjoyable. It’s only about a 20 minute drive to the grocery store and a few shops. We tried a couple of local eateries and enjoyed them Overall, “What the Shell” was a great place to stay. I’d highly recommend this unit to others!

View was amazing! Saw dolphins off the balcony one morning. Host was very helpful with dinner recommendations. Already planning our trip back!

Great stay for the price! Balcony ocean view is perfect. The location is great, nice quiet area. Pool area has plenty of tables with umbrellas and the water was great. Short drive to the local grocery and plenty of local restaurants. This is a great property for a small family!
