Great spot for large group
Lots of “oh wows, this is so great”
Easy beach access and large comfy rooms. Having two dishwashers and fridges was soo convenient - 4 masters was perfect for us
Huge negative was the elevator not working (when we initially reserved was not mentioned)
Also the stove has quirky issues
All in all a lovely home, our vaca experience was spot on

Reviewer Comments:
Sea Shellter is one of the best equipped houses we have ever rented. It is designed so well to give everyone space to enjoy the vacation. We had 8 adults and three little guys 1,2 and 3. The house could use a good fall cleaning after a busy summer of rentals, but was still really nice. Very convenient to walk to the beach and the pool is a great plus too.

Loved it!
Our only complaint would be with the elevator! Was not working, being in our 60’s all the steps with luggage and groceries trucking up 4 flights of stairs was a killer. @ lest they could have docked some money! Or open the pool 🤷♀️ just annoying that this happened. Washer wouldn’t go through a spin cycle. That being said we absolutely loved it! The dinner table sat all of us ❤️
Thanks

Reviewer Comments:
This house had a great layout and was well-stocked all around. The ocean views and pool were great. However, the outside condition of the house was poor; the grass needed cutting, general landscaping was needed, and the rails and siding were covered in algae and muck. The latches on the pool gates were also broken. Overall, this home could really use some upgrades and TLC inside, as well, for the price being charged to guests—namely the carpeting. We loved the kitchen with the double dishwashers and refrigerators. The elevator was also nice and came in handy when bringing groceries upstairs.

Our Last Full Family Vacation: 26 years at OBX
This vacation included family from 78 years old (in wheelchair)to our great grandson of 2 months & every age inbetween.The home is beautiful and furnished wiith everything & anything you could want. The location is the best, short walk to beach & beautiful views. The pool area was perfect for our assorted ages & one in a wheelchair. We enjoyed many family dinners & lots of seafood so the big table was perfect. I don't normally do negative but I think owners need to know, the floors in kitchen & bathrooms were very dirty. our feet were black just moving in (we always remove shoes inside) so my daughter mopped them all. The large oven did not work. The small one did but it was too small for sheet pans. The bedroom with the crib had dirty sheets on the bed, either caked, dried blood or feces. We changed it. We also found 3 credit cards on the floor beside the bed and turned them in to the rental company. I know you can't do anything about the driveway but I think you need to note on your pictures how steep it is. Not much parking so we had to have 2 trucks park on the main road the whole week. While we loved the home & layout & pool, we would not rent again because of the driveway. Thank you for the elevator, he is a disabled veteran & was able to be a part of everything.

We had a lovely time in the spacious Sea Shellter with the very well-equipped kitchen. The elevator was a life safer with all the luggage and groceries we had for the week. The house could use some TLC and general upkeep. There were vines growing on the deck, algae at the front door, beginning of rot of some decking/porches. We were able to check in earlier than 6:00 pm but the key code did not work. The management company could not get it to work either when they came, they told us they would call back to give us a new code, but we had to call them. They did call the next day to check up on it. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in our home away from home and would rent this home again.

It is a very nice home with a great kitchen and great view space from balconies. The location is nicely positioned away from heavy traffic but close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and other islands. It has nice theater, gaming, hot tub and pool features. Our first visit was in 2016 and we have visited another 4 times since. It was a bit "dusty" this visit and it appears tenants have not been as a attentive to the care of the premises on their visits. We are planning another visit.

We always have a great time at Sea Shellter and we had a wonderful time this past month. I do understand it's towards the end of the season and the house could use a deep cleaning. My biggest gripe was there's some delayed maintenance on items, the gate to the pool wouldn't latch and I was worried about our little guy wandering in (broken hinge) and the dryer was not working properly near the end (probably needs to be replaced). Outside of these things we had a really great time and will be looking to come back in the future. Pool was amazing for the kids and they always do a great job keeping the pool and hot tub clean!

Beautiful property. We had 14 people, including 6 kiddos and it provided so much space for everyone to have room. Loved the size of the kitchen and dining area for our large group to cook most nights and serve family style meals. Having the hot tub and pool table were great with the cooler weather. Kitchen was well stocked but could probably use a refresh on some of the stocked pans as some weren't useable. One of the refrigerator panels for water dispensing on the front was in need of repair as it had exposed electrical. But outside of those really minor things it was a great stay!
