Cozy Cottage

We had a wonderful time visiting friends and family. Shell Beach has become a familiar feeling neighborhood for us and this home did not disappoint. It feels so light and airy the way she has decorated it along with all the windows and yet it feels cozy and extremely comfortable.

Shell Beach cottage

Cute cottage but it would have been desirable to have a dishwasher. The washer and dryer in another building was a bit inconvenient. It definitely needs another mirror outside the bathroom. An easy fix would be a full length mirror on one of the doors in the hallway.

Cute home near the water

We enjoyed our stay and loved the proximity to both the ocean and many shops/restaurants. Our teens loved having their own space in the separate garage-top apartment.

Clean, cozy house in awesome location

My husband and I spent the month of February at Kelly's house. The house is exactly as presented in the listing and photos. Kelly was very easy to communicate with and provided prompt responses. The house is very comfortable for two adults, and I would highly recommend it. The house is located on one of the nicest blocks in Shell Beach, with quick access to the beach, shops and restaurants. The house was very clean and comfortable. The wifi was fast and made it easy to work remotely. The work area is in the main bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped.
