Nice weekend getaway!

We enjoyed this tiny house for a quick Spring Break trip. Waking up to the views of the water was perfection! We highly recommend Baja, the restaurant next door, for dinner. Overall, this house was very clean & very updated; property manager Scott was great to work with.

Wonderful getaway

Scott was wonderful to communicate with. Views were breathtaking! Home was clean and the loft had plenty of space for teens. We used the multiple kayaks from sun up to sun down! There were bikes, but we didn’t need to use them. Absolutely loved our stay and would love to go back. I did make a few suggestions of things to add in the kitchen, but totally based on my desires. We made due just fine! No complaints

Perfect Family Tiny Home

My family stayed in the Seashell Shack for a week in August and were very happy and comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for our two teenage daughters with plenty of space for them to each have their own comfortable mattress. There was A LOT of rain and wind the week we stayed, but the living room was comfortable for games and movie watching and the covered deck was large enough to enjoy the outdoors even when it was raining. Couldn't ask for a better location. We will be back!

Respite Achieved

My best friend and I enjoyed our stay immensely. Hosts were generous and accomodating with requests and questions. The location is fantastic and the lodging is very comfortable. The loft and bedroom allowed us to both sleep comfortably as she likes the room warm and I like to freeze. My only suggestion is..if you use ubereats or instacart..provide the name of the resort as some drivers may have difficulty finding the place due to gps weirdness.

Last minute rescue

Our original vrbo host canceled on us with no notice after we had driven 15 hours to the location. Scott stepped in to provided us a wonderful spot on last minute notice. The home was in a lovely location. Away from the hustle but close to two beaches and beautiful coastline.The beautiful small home is very roomy. Loved the large loft area and the kitchen was perfect for cooking all our meals.

Property Needs A Facelift

This was our second stay at this resort. The communication with the owner was great! He was prompt, accommodating, and informative. However, the property needs upgrades and improvemets. There were a lot of old (pots, pans, oven sheet pans, shower doors, outdoor chairs, bikes), missing, and mismatched (missing lids) items. The kayaks are stored on the porch…. Since the porch is already small, the kayaks take 1/3 of it. If neighbours to the right are there, you have zero privacy… Sunshades would be beneficial, the place gets a lot of sun! Overall my family had a nice stay, since we were there with friends (in other RVs).

Fabulous

We love Sandbridge, and have stayed in the Surfside property for many years. Scott’s property was great - it is next to the bay so there’s easy fishing or kayaking. The inside was kept nice and clean, definitely a property that has been loved. You can sit inside and relax with a view of the bay. Communication was amazing - Scott checked in with us and was super helpful throughout. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful vacation property

We really enjoyed the Seashell Shack. It was very comfortable, neat and tidy, with a well-stocked kitchen. The views of the bay from the porch and back yard were so beautiful and relaxing. The swing under the pine trees was so peaceful. The 5 minute walk to the beach was very covenient. Scott was very professional, timely, and thorough in all his communications.

Beautiful setting, cozy RV condo

We really enjoyed our stay here. We've done some RVing and were curious about RV condos, and this did not disappoint. The view over Back Bay was amazing and this was the perfect amount of space for us. We really enjoyed the slower pace and quietness of Sandbridge in spring, and found it very restful and relaxing.

Quiet and Peaceful

We really enjoyed our week here. The RV park is really nice. This time of year it was quiet and peaceful. It’s just a very short walk to the beach, and just up the road from the fishing pier and nature preserve. Great place for bike riding (if only I had been more used to it). The owner provided bikes and everything that we needed. There are a couple kayaks, but we didn’t use those. The bay view from inside the RV was nice, and sitting outside on the deck or on the swing was a pleasant way to relax. Scott, the owner, was very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. We would love to go back.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
My family and I love going to the beach. As soon as we discovered Sandbridge, we fell in love with the area and the community. The RV Resort we are located in is adjacent to a wildlife refuge and a 5 minute walk to the beach, offering the unique experience of resort living with nature just a few steps away.

Why they chose this property

Location location location. The Seashell Shack sits right on Back Bay, and is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Less than 3 minute walk to all the major amenities in the resort. Also, the property and lot are newly renovated for 2023 (see the pictures)! One of the only "tiny homes" available for rent in Sandbridge!
