Great property and customer service!
My husband and I stayed at Shrimps for a spring break vacation March 2024. We had a great time and the location could not be beat! 2 min walk to the beach. This is a studio, so compact, but had all that we needed as we spent a majority of our time outside, walking on the beach, going to restaurants and shopping! All that we needed for week stay. I would definitely recommend and look forward to our next vacation adventure!

Small but mighty
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay- the location of the Shrimp Hut was walkable to dining, groceries, and close enough to the beach to go back and forth for potty breaks. Full kitchen and outdoor shared space with pool made up for the small unit, which essentially was like a hotel suite room.

Quiet beach getaway
What a gem tucked away and close to the beach! The small bungalow was perfect for my wife and I -and our small dog! For a small space it works pretty well, the bathroom is a bit tight but manageable. Could use an extra coffee mug and towels -but otherwise perfect!

Great stay
Great location, cute room, loved the pool. The room was missing some basic things like a full length mirror and towel rack. The full size kitchen didn’t make sense for the size of the room but we did use the fridge. I’d probably book a larger unit next time. Oh - please provide more towels or laundry service for people staying more than one night.

Cute little shrimp shack
The “shrimp” was the perfect little place for my husband and I for a four night get away. The location is great, it’s a short two block walk to a lovely beach that wasn’t overly crowded. The back and front yard areas that are shared with the other units is well kept and the heated pool and outdoor furniture is a nice touch! The house came with two beach chairs, a small cooler, a beach umbrella and a wagon to cart everything to the beach. I’m not sure if these are amenities that are part of the house or items that others have left behind but it did look like every unit had them. It would have been helpful if this information was in the property description listing as we almost rented them before arriving. The unit also had a hair dryer, toaster, coffee maker and basic amenities to get you started (shampoo, dish washer tabs, trash bags). The design of the shower wasn’t thought out very well - the shower “door” is a half glass “door” but the pressure from the shower head soaks the whole bathroom. You can definitely tell by the looks of the wooden bathroom door that this is an ongoing issue as it seems to be water logged. We had to put a towel down during the shower in addition the to mat used to dry your feet so we didn’t fall. The bed and pillows aren’t the the most comfortable but not the worst either. The unit could use some more wall decor to bring it to life a little more. The biggest complaint is that we felt rushed out of the unit the morning of check out. The property management company sends you a text the day before reminding you that check out is at 10am and cleaners will arrive at 10:10 to begin cleaning the unit. We were packing up last minute items when we heard someone trying to open the unit door at 9:40 - it was the cleaner. When I answered the door, I told her we were still packing up and would be leaving shortly, she again reminded me of 10:00am. She didn’t attempt to ring the door bell or knock either, she assumed we weren’t there for some reason (even though the property management company texts you and asks you to let them know if you leave early and to text them when you’ve checked out) and began letting herself in. I advised the property manager of this issue who apologized advised they’d let the supervisor know.

I loved that it was close to the beach. just walking distance and the room was super clean beautiful inside and out. the only down fall was the air conditioner wasn’t working properly and the communication for the code to enter room was not sent so I had to get in touch with the company to get it. Would stay again

Location and unit perfect. The only complaint was something tht could have been so easily pleasing but was not done so. 2 adults for 5 days and we got 2 beach towels and 2 bath towels each. When i asked for more they wanted to charge me. I declined. For what you pay a nite for really a small place, they could for very little effort made it right bit chose not to. Sich a small thing but was a pain. Overall locations perfect condo is perfect. I also felt like it was hard to cool the unit down with the mini split the unit stayed pretty warm

The “shrimp” was a really great place to stay. Pool was great and the walk to the beach was very short. A few downfalls was there no storage space for your suitcase or a rack to atleast place your luggage. The kitchen has no utensils to cook with or pots or pans. The bathroom was too small and everything gets wet in there when showering. Still had a good time. Just can’t stay too long
