The Commons at Seashell is a great spot for renting one unit for up to 10 people or multiple units for up to 90 people for family reunions, retreats, and gatherings of friends. There is a large, shared pool, hammocks for relaxing, picnic tables for outdoor cookouts under the shade of a cabana in the center of the units. Each unit has an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day of playing in the sand. Pull up in the open parking area at the Commons complex and follow a short path towards your unit. A small sitting area outside your front door offers a shady spot to read and relax. And it is just steps away from the large, shared pool, hammock, picnic and grilling area. Each unit has its own outdoor shower for rinsing off. Walk straight into an open living area with a brightly colored beachside vibe. A red couch, which doubles as a Queen sleeper sofa, navy loveseat and two accent chairs sit before a flat-screen TV, made for relaxing. Beside the living room are a full-size washer and dryer and a half bath. There's plenty of space to enjoy dinner at the large wood dining table with seating for eight. Overlooking the dining area, a full kitchen features the sink in the center of the bar with four stools, white appliances, including a dishwasher, electric stove-oven, coffee maker and microwave. Cupboards are stocked with utensils, cookware, mixing bowls, pots, and pans – everything needed to meet your culinary needs after a day at the beach. From here, hardwood stairs lead up to the condo's 3 breezy bedrooms. At the top of the stairs, a master bedroom (BR1) is furnished with a queen-size bed, dresser, nightstands, closet for your beach attire, wall-mounted TV and large window for sunlight and view of the pool. The ensuite bathroom has a vanity and tile shower. Perfect for kids, a second bedroom (BR3) has a set of custom-built Full over Full bunk beds and a dresser. Just next door, everyone can freshen up in a shared bathroom with a coastal theme and a tub/ shower unit with a glass door enclosure. At the end of the upstairs hallway, a bright third bedroom (BR2) has a queen-size bed, TV, 2 nightstands, chair for reading a book and closet. The Commons is approximately four blocks from the beach. The floors are cement on the ground floor and pine upstairs for easy clean-up. The walls are 10" thick pine to keep things quiet and cozy.

We had a great stay at the Commons. Easy walking distance to beach and shops. Condos have so much room. Great place to stay. Loved sitting outside in the courtyard every evening. And dog friendly. Had a small problem with drain and they sent someone over no problem.

Very beautiful, clean and spacious condo. We enjoyed our visit and our kids enjoyed the swimming pool.
This was the second time staying in the same unit . The only complaint I have is the water pressure in the showers other than that everything was good.
The only thing it did not have was a measuring cup. Plenty of pots and pans and kitchen gadgets. Everything was great.

Enjoyable. Could have used more closet space. Some dressers would be nice, especially for those who stay more than a few days.

We loved the beach house from the moment we got there! This place has everything you could possibly need. There were 8 of us staying there and there was more than enough room for everyone. We had a wonderful time making family dinners and enjoyed sitting on the porch at night. The pool is right in front of the unit which was super convenient for all the kids. The beach house is in a prime location close to everything. We had no issues during our stay. The unit was super clean and nicely decorated. We will stay here again.
The home was exactly what we needed. Plenty of room for.our party of 10. Close to the beach and restaurants. We will most definitely stay again in the near future.
Our family of 5 enjoyed it. Good location and about 10 min walk to beach. Unfortunately it rained almost the whole time, but it was nice having the pool steps away for the little breaks in the rain.
We enjoyed this property very much. The house was clean, well equipped kitchen, close walk to the beach, very nice salt water pool, comfortable beds. We will rent with this property again in the future.
very pretty well decorated cortage spacious its has everyt5you need in the kitchen utensils cooking even a dishwasher and restroom equipped with everything too great pool and bbq pit areas mayne clean bbq pits more often or just have more cleananing items for pit also this cottage in particular get rid of living room area rug that one was gross it had pet hair and it looks like a health hazard i prefer clean bare floors close to beach mayne a 10 min drive or 15 blocks approx away. beds and pillows were soso but i found i could manage 2 days like that i would come again also great washer and dryer
This place was clean inside, conveniently located, and had everything we needed. Only downside - you have to sit within 5' of the router to use the wi-fi. It was an easy way to keep my kids off their phones. 🙂

Reviewer Comments:
Too crowded. Looked like college dorm set up. Too many people. Not enough privacy. House did not look like it was cleaned properly. Stains and sticky substance on chairs and table. Pool water was cloudy. Ad said gold cart was included then rental office changed it and said it was an extra $150 a day. Lies. False advertising. I’ve rented and stayed in much nicer places than this. Looked like a welfare apartment set up.
