Great little getaway spot

It was a great little get away spot. Close to the beach, quiet and worth the cost. Would rent this location again and again. Bed was very comfortable and the setup is perfect for a family.

Perfect Atlantic Beach Getaway

I feel lucky to have found this rental in Atlantic beach. It was perfect! Right across the street from the beach. It was super clean, beautifully decorated and furnished. We enjoyed all meals out in the porch with views of the ocean, walked across the street to the beach every day, and the beds were comfortable!

An absolute delight

The pictures do not do it justice-- it is even cuter in person. We had a absolutely fantastic time. The house is really clean and in a wonderful location. Had a little hiccup when we first got there and the owners were incredibly gracious and accommodating-- fixed the issue super quickly. Would love to stay there again!

Family beach trip

This is the perfect property for a family beach trip. The short dune path is right across the street. The house was spotless and well stocked. There was a hose for washing feet right by the door and one downstairs for beach chairs and toys. Restaurants and groceries aren't far away. We would stay here again.

Time away with my 3 best friends

The property is great. It’s steps away from the beach. The view is good. Close proximity to lots of choices for dining out. Or if you choose to cook the house is stocked with everything you will need. Although the weather didn’t cooperate we still had a good relaxing couple of days. I will book again.

Awesome property

The place was so beautiful and in a great area! The private beach access was amazing. The space was very clean and well maintained. The full kitchen was perfect for making meals and having small children. There was a gate on the porch before the main stairs which was also great for small children. The view was beautiful. Check in and out was easy and seamless. The managers were very friendly and responsive with questions and comments. Highly recommend this place for a family getaway or vacation with friends. It accommodates people in all phases of life to come together for a fun beach trip!

Outstanding week at Half Shelled

The property is outstanding! The location is great, the beach is steps away with ocean views on the porch, and the decor is beautiful. Kitchen is fully equipped and had everything we needed for the week. The house is clean and it’s great to have a private shower. We loved the house and location. The beach is quiet and not overcrowded. We truly enjoyed our week and stay at this house. It was perfect for our family of 4.

Amazing weekend with lots of room and great location

I give this property all fives. We loved the spaciousness, the proximity to the beach, the kitchen that was fully loaded with everything we needed to cook, and the comfortableness of the beds and pillows. The only caveat would be the very noisy renters one level above us that kept us awake at all hours.
