ShellChase is the perfect place for family vacations, honeymoons, adult getaways, or that well-deserved relaxing trip to paradise.

Amazing vacation!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked a very last minute stay. We knew we wanted the beach and a pet friendly location. Shellcase exceeded every expectation. We had plenty of room for our 3 kids, their friends and our dog. The home was nice and inviting. It was essentially on the beach, as we walk farther at other locations. We loved this trip and will definitely return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was wonderful. House was the perfect size for our extended family vacation. Easy beach access. Would not receive going during Shrimp Fest. Downtown was off limits due to every store, shop and restaurant charged $20 to park. Even if you wanted to shop or eat at their establishment. Otherwise great location.

Perfect Family Beach Vacation

Large duplex, I did not realize it was only half a house, but it was a three story huge house for 8 adults. Very comfortable couches in the main room, large back deck with two tables to eat outside, very close to the beach, just watch for the poisonous snakes! (didn't see any, just had signs posted. A few pointers I would suggest, the master bathroom on the main floor, needs a black out curtain because you wake up at the crack of dawn from the sunlight. The pink upstairs bedroom is connected to the orange bedroom, so you need to walk thru the orange room to access the pink one, that is probably only good for kids and parents. I would also suggest a folder or binder of nearby things to do, places to go, where to get groceries, etc. The internet is very spotty, so do not expect to be working out of the home. Definitely have the gate code, and door code and directions on screen shots on your phone because you will NOT get wifi access outside the house! and you will need them to get in. It is a very very very quiet area ( except for the neighbors sometimes) great beach, but put your chairs down early! it fills up fast! Clear water, not much seaweed, a TON OF MARINE LIFE, we saw dolphins almost daily, got a ton of seashells, and almost stepped on a stingray! Great house, would be back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was perfect and had great space for everyone to spread out. They kitchen is well stocked. This was a short walk to the beach and had minimal traffic in the neighborhood. Only thing to consider is if you go out to plan ahead as it’s 18 miles from the main highway but that didn’t bother us and will definitely stay here again.

The house has lots of room and plenty of seating space in the living room. The kitchen is very well stocked (better than most rentals) which is a big plus. We even had room for visitors for a couple of days. We had a great time and will be back.

Super house for a large group

Shellchase is a beautiful home with the best living area for a big group (we had 10). It was spacious and clean and just a short walk to the beach. I was disappointed that the owner didn't respond at all to the multiple times I sent a question via VRBO and then in a direct text. The only one I got a response to was to the text saying we were leaving. There were also no kitchen trash bags, no paper towels, and only one roll of TP in each bathroom for 10 people staying 5 nights. Hopefully this will prompt the owner to be more responsive. I loved the property but not sure I would rent it again...I couldn't trust he would respond if I had a real issue.
