Lovely Accommodations

“I had a wonderful experience in my room at Beach Shack! It was well-appointed with great linens, and the little extras like bottled water and accent pillows on the couch really added a homey touch. I felt so comfortable that it was easy to relax after a long day of family visits.” view full review

Convenient Beachside Dining

“One of my favorite features was the ability to order food directly to our beach chairs from the Rusty Nail. It was so nice to enjoy a snack or meal without having to leave the beach. The vibe was relaxed, and the food was quite good!” view full review

Perfect for the Family

“Traveling with three teenagers can be challenging, but the bunk house rooms at Beach Shack were perfect! The built-in bunk beds and sleeper sofa made everyone comfortable, and we all had a great night's sleep. It’s a fantastic option for families looking to stay together.” view full review
