    noise from road

    The Shell Beach Inn was a lovely and clean spot with great service and recommendations from the owners. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches, although the coffee could use improvement. Overall, it’s easy to see why it’s highly rated!

    thoughtful touches
    spotless room
    friendly service
    soft bed
    noise level
    breakfast availability

    I love how cozy my room felt. The decor looked fresh and everything was spotless. The bed offered great support, but I found it a bit too soft for my liking. The shower had amazing hot water, perfect after a long day out. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the popcorn and coffee available in the room. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. I grabbed a 10% off voucher for breakfast from a nearby place. It would have been helpful if breakfast was offered on-site. I did hear some noise from the neighboring room, which was a little distracting. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the bottle of wine waiting for me in the room for my anniversary was a lovely surprise! I’d definitely consider staying here again!

    comfortable beds
    welcoming staff
    clean room
    inadequate cleaning
    wi-fi issues
    hard bed

    I enjoyed my stay in the King Room, where the beds were comfortable and the staff was welcoming. However, I noticed some areas for improvement, such as the cleaning services, which could have been better, and I faced difficulties with the Wi-Fi connection. Great for short visits, but a few adjustments could enhance the experience.

    spacious room
    thoughtful service
    traffic noise

    We had a great time staying here with friends! The location was perfect for exploring local restaurants and hitting the paved bike path. The room was super spacious and quiet, making it a relaxing getaway. Plus, the owners went above and beyond with their service, providing thoughtful touches that made our stay even better.

    However, the suite did back to a road, so traffic noise was noticeable. While we weren't light sleepers, it’s something to consider if you are. Ear plugs are provided, which helps.

    The King Room was super cozy! I loved the comfy bed and all the little extras like popcorn and a makeup station. The shower had plenty of hot water too. It felt clean and homely. I could hear some traffic noise, but it wasn’t bothersome since they provided earplugs. Really appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary, such a nice touch!

    The King room was cozy and had a private bathroom with a step-over shower and plenty of hot water. There was a fridge and microwave. Little touches like complimentary popcorn and body soap.

    I loved the charming decor and the warm, welcoming atmosphere at Shell Beach Inn. The cozy, well-appointed room was perfect for relaxing, and the proximity to the beach made it easy to enjoy coastal walks. The owners were incredibly attentive!

    More accessible amenities for seniors would be nice.

    thoughtful touches
    cozy atmosphere

    Couples looking for charm should stay here

    The decor is unique, a mix of retro and rustic, which made the whole atmosphere feel homey like you belong. The hosts left an ice cooler and beer coupons, which made us feel really welcomed and special.

    It wasn't the cheapest place around but honestly, the experience was worth every penny.
