We loved our stay in at Shell Cottage. the location is great as we can walk to shops and restaurants and also the pier. The cottage was roomy and clean. One suggestion is that there needs to be more spoons at the place. Shannon was very helpful and quickly responded to all my emails. The checkin/check out process was very simple as well. We will definitely consider staying here again! Don and Lisa Cale

Loved the cottage and location
We loved the Oyster Shell cottage for several reasons. It's proximity to the Village for morning breakfast or coffee, being walkable to a tidal beach each morning during low tide. We spent time on the tidal beach each morning enjoying the peaceful tranquility of this nearly private little area. The house itself was perfect for the 3 of us: me, my spouse and 1 of our adult children joined us for part of the week. Check-in/Check-out very easy.

Nice cottage and great location
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It is a very short walk from Pier Village, and the beach crossover is at the end of the street (about 25 yards). We would stay here again.

Cutest cottage
We had a great weekend on our girl cousins/ aunts trip. The house was very clean and great location in relation to restaurants and shops. The beach that is down the street was only a beach for maybe an hour at super low tide, which was a bummer. However, a short drive to actual beach. Weather was too chilly for a day on the beach anyway.

The perfect seaside cottage!
If they’d sell it, I’d buy it! Lovely cottage, complete with screened-in room that is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or a book… or both! Built in the 1920s, but affectionately restored, this three bedroom home has plenty of seating and all the amenities. Conveniently located one street away from the main Mallery St shops and restaurants and famous Pier. Walking distance to everything! The Welcome Book is so informative with the history of the home as well as recommendations of restaurants and activities. Take the time to read it- you’ll be happy you did! My two little boys enjoyed fishing, crabbing, and exploring SSI. Mini golf capped off our evening after a great dinner at Crabdaddys, and just before ice cream at one of the local spots on Mallery St. We’ll definitely be back; or maybe just me and some girlfriends for some R&R!

Our girlfriend group gets together at least once a year. This year, our high school reunion afforded us a unique opportunity to be together and attend the festivities in nearby Jesup. We had a blast! We walked all over the village…enjoyed long walks and lots of talk! The front porch is perfect for an evening cocktail!

ANNUAL VACATION TO GA
Overall the stay was great. However, the porch was very dirty from prior storms. Dirt and leaves all over the furniture and floor. I spent about an hour cleaning it. This should have been noticed by the walk through the agent said was done before our check-in
