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!

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.

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.

Family vacation

The condo was beautifully decorated, clean with a great location-just a few steps away from the beach. Kevin kindly provided additional restaurant recommendations and activities. Kevin & Ashley came to replace a chair during our visit & were I and out quickly & just as pleasant in person as via email. I highly recommend this gorgeous condo-it has everything you need! 5 stars!

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.

I am not sure where to begin. Everything about this stay for our long weekend was truly the best. From the fully stocked home to the access to the beach to the views - truly amazing! The owners are extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire stay. We will definitely be booking again!

First Family trip to Atlantic Beach

We arrived Sunday evening to begin our week together. First impression was awesome. Arrival instructions were on point! Beautiful coastal decor, well appointed and equipped. The attention to detail was obvious. We had mostly sunny beach days. Great location with easy access to the beach. Very short walk. We ate out each night - dined in Morehead and Beaufort. Easy access to each location. Grabbed pizza on our last night to go. Would gladly stay here again. Perfect for our family of six adults. Loved sitting on the porch with coffee or wine watching the ocean each day.

Parents Anniversary

This place is decorated beautiful. Lots of space for the six of us. Beautiful View. Two minor things which one cannot be fixed is the parking. Larger vehicles SUV tight squeeze. Only other thing I would fix would be Queen Size bed not very comfortable as you roll right in middle. Other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Soul Refreshing

We visited Half Shelled for a short weekend getaway to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday at the beach. We absolutely enjoyed our stay, so many wonderful and comfortable added touches that made our experience all the more special. When considering Half Shelled, you absolutely won’t be disappointed. We drove away talking about when we would love to come back again! Thank you for allowing our family the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful home.
