Loved the Shell house for our recent beach stay. It has plenty is space for our family of 6\. Less than a block from the nearest beach access point. It was clean and decently maintained. The only minor negatives is that the starter on the grill doesn’t work and the cable stations were not functional either. Neither was a big deal as we didn’t watch TV much. Overall, it was a great house on Sunset Beach. We would stay here again! ##### Caren M.

We were a short walk to the beach and to the end of the island to watch the sunset. We took my 95-year-old mother, and the town of Sunset was more than happy to provide us a wheelchair that would go on the beach. They dropped it off and picked it up. We had no problems at the cottage. Nice quiet neighbors. Nice place and easy access! ##### Sarah R.
