Wonderful stay

We enjoyed our stay with 9 family members with kids ranging from infants to teenagers. The heated backyard pool was perfect for when everyone needed a break from the beautiful beach.

We had a great stay at Shell of a Time for family trip to the beach. The house was perfect for several couples and had everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped and living area was perfect for family nights. Pool and patio were a great way to spend afternoons after a day at the beach. Golf cart was an extra perk to run short errands or shuttle to the beach which was about 3-5 min walk. Only issue we had was some problem with the A/C but the property manager was quick to respond and send a tech out for repairs. Great stay and a great property!

Beautiful and comfortable home!

Shell of a time was a perfect stay for our family. We loved the warm pool and close proximity to the beach. The kitchen was more than adequate for cooking and all the beds were comfortable. Great attentiveness by the host.

Great home and location!

Stayed in this home for our family beach trip (7 adults + 3 kids). Plenty of space to hang out together- both inside and by the pool. Very clean, great amenities. Property manager was quick to respond and wonderful to work with. Short walk to the beach - golf cart was a huge plus for hauling beach gear. Would definitely stay again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location with some shade. Short walk or golf cart drive to the beach. Close to bakery and creamery. Loved riding bikes in the area and had some shade for the activity. Quiet house. Clean. Nice bath and bed linens. All bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice. Plenty of room for our group of nine without any crowding. Large kitchen area. Dishwasher went out twice,management team answered right away, and repaired next day.. Had all needed cookware and nice storage containers. Golf cart worked well and no issues. Pool was very warm, and great that we. could see it from the kitchen.

Repeat Awesomeness

Second year in a row at this house and just as fabulous. Great service, gorgeous and spacious house. Pool is great and cornhole is a big hit with the teens. Renting the golf cart made shlepping all our gear to the beach even easier. It's really such a lovely property, you don't need to do anything but house-beach-pool-repeat. Be back next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Blue Mountain/ 30A since 2014 and this house is one of the best. The location was great, the pool was awesome and the house was perfectly suited for three families (6 adults and 6 kids 9 and under). Each bedroom having its own bath was definitely a plus. We would love to come back next year!

Family fun

We had six adults and two toddlers and had a very good time. The house is lovely and outfitted very well. The pool was great especially as it was heated and the storms kept things cool. The location was perfect and we enjoyed ourselves very much. The only thing I was surprised about was paying for the golf cart. The listing suggested to me it was with the rental fee, but I was wrong. We mostly walked but did rent for two of our days. Would stay again as it was a beautiful place with great location!

We've been coming to this area for many years. This was our first stay in this particular house. The downstairs layout was ideal. It was spacious, clean, had comfortable couches and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool was great too. The downstairs master bedroom was perfect with its large closet and bathroom. The laundry and storage area were great for golf clubs or beach bags. The upstairs features king beds in each room and private bathrooms, which are both a plus. There is also a bunkbed room. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are very small though. They do have closets, but those are small too. The location was great for short walks to the beach with private access and/or restaurants. The property management company did a nice job of responding to a few issues we had with the air conditioner, pool light and some locked spaces so we appreciated that. The only cons, besides the lack of space in the upstairs bed and baths are that it comes with a golf cart, but the golf cart is pretty outdated and old. The seats are really worn and maneuvering the cart was difficult. It also has a charcoal grill so you have to purchase charcoal, matches, lighter fluid...etc. Finally - the couch cushions on the outdoor furniture both upstairs and downstairs were dirty but I'm sure those are difficult to keep clean in prime months. Overall, the communication was great, the main area of the house was perfect and the location was ideal.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have vacationed in Blue Mountain for 5 years and this house and agent team were incredible. The house is so clean, the kitchen was well stocked, the commercial appliances were second to none. We loved everything about it. It was by far our best vacation. It will be our forever house on the gulf. The leasing agent team went above and beyond to assist in any way they could. It was a great experience all around. We will be back for many years to come and be sure to use Costal Blue every time.Carol August 2024

Even Better Than The Photos!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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 loved our stay at Shell of a Time! Very convenient location within walking distance to the beach, ice cream, coffee, and restaurants. The photos do not do the space justice. We felt it was even bigger in the person. The home is well maintained and was very clean upon arrival. We loved having our own pool and golf cart. Management was very quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had. There were only a few things (lock box codes, access to golf cart keys, etc.) that I felt needed some clarity but were quickly answered via text while on our trip. We also didn't realize that there would a pack and play on site. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for hosting.

We had a terrific stay here. The property is exactly as described. It is a beautiful home and is very well appointed (kitchen fully stocked, plenty of towels and linens, etc). The pool is fantastic, roof decks have great views, and the neighborhood and location are wonderful. I do highly recommend renting a golf cart, as it makes getting around town very simple!

Amazing

Shell of a Time is, hands-down, the best rental property we have ever stayed at for a beach trip. The house is so comfortable and high end. The pool is amazing, the kitchen made it so we had no need to go out to eat. Loved everything- we will be back. Only downside was construction next door, but hopefully that will be done by next year. Seriously great place. Thanks for the hospitality.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: Our family off 6 adults and 3 grand children spent a week in Shell of a Time this past week. The house was fabulous. The pool was great for adults and children. You can ask for the pool to be heated (optional charge). The weather wasn’t the best but the heated pool was a life saver for the grands! The lot is spacious so the grands to run around. The house has 5 different porches/decks front, side (poolside) and 3 on the upper floors. We rented a golf cart but one of the public beaches is in easy walking distance. 4 spacious bedrooms and a pullout couch on the second floor. 1 of the bedrooms has two built in bunks big enough and strong enough for adults or children. High end Viking appliances. I hope we can go agin next year and stay a Shell of a Time!
