Great stay
Great cottage in prime location close to beach and Shoals Club! Master bedroom is lovely and basement guest room would be great for little kids or my big teenager loved having his own little hideaway.

Perfect vacation home at the perfect location
The listing is accurate. The host was wonderful in replying to our texts. We had a lovely time with a teen and a 5 year old. Highly recommend taking the Shoals club membership (3-5 minute ride in golf cart). If you get membership 5 days before the day you intend to use, being a guest here waives your $100 admin fee. You still need to pay the club fee (look up their site) but it was totally worth it! The house was perfect for our family of four!

Lovely stay
Our family (with 2 teenage daughters) had a wonderful stay. The cottage was lovely and clean and had lots of essential amenities. The host was amazing with response time to any concerns. We also really enjoy the part of the island that this cottage is in.

Perfect Island Retreat
Shell Cottage is a most-perfect retreat on BHI! The location is unbeatable (5-minute walk to the beach) and the house itself is lovely and comfortable. The golf carts and other amenities made our vacation a top-notch experience. Also, the hosts were very responsive and have put much thought and care into making their guests feel welcome. We would love to come back to BHI and would definitely stay at Shell Cottage again.

Winter’s Rest
This is our second time at Shell Cottage and it’s perfect for small families like ours (2 adults, 2 teens). Location is convenient for sunrise and sunset watches and to the shoals. Daily bike rides and beach walks were perfect for unwinding 2023 and gearing up for 2024. Cozy cottage with everything you need.

Terrific for a quiet Thanksgiving getaway!
We love being at this end of the island and we’ve stayed in several units in Sumners Crescent over the years. This one didn’t disappoint! It was nicely appointed and cozy comfortable for two empty nesters. Perfect for a low-key holiday weekend. Thank you!
