Great house in an amazing location!
We had a 3 generation vacation here over a long weekend. The house was immaculate and included everything we needed to be comfortable. There is ample common space inside, a great deck upstairs and lots of room under the house for gathering. The views were amazing and the beach is across the street. The owners were very prompt in all communications and have detailed instructions on anything related to the house, procedures, etc. as well as a great guidebook for area restaurants and attractions. We didn't use the golf cart, but it was a nice option to have. As "dad the pack mule" one of my favorite features was the lift to get all our stuff up and down. We brought our 24' bay boat and had no issues docking. The ramp is across the cove and one of the easiest setups we've experienced traveling with the boat. Plenty of room around the house to park the truck without unhooking the trailer and still have space for multiple other vehicles. We loved it and look forward to returning!

Shell Point Beach house
It was a spacious house with beautiful views of water. The kids love how close they were to the beach & playground. It worked great for my daughter's families & I because we come to the area to visit for a family reunion in Crawfordsville.

The Blue House on the beach!
The home was as advertised and more. It was well appointed, clean, and the layout is perfect for an extended family vacation. The property owners were a pleasure to communicate with and and responsive. It felt like home!

Great time had by all 9 of us!
My family (me, my wife, my two kids ((ages 12 + 15)), and my wife's brother and his family )(wife and 3 kids ages 3, 5, 7,) spent five nights at the house. There was plenty of room and then some for all! The beach is right across the street, and very easy to access. The younger kids really enjoyed playing on the beach and exploring in the water for hermit crabs and starfish and other sea creatures. The beach is very nice, and not too busy. It's not like the waters of the open Gulf or the Atlantic, but nice. The house is not only very spacious, but was clean and has everything you need. The back dock on the channel is an added bonus for putting in kayaks, or doing a little fishing. We kayaked both in the bay and in the channels, and caught a few fish. We even saw a few manatees in the channels. The hosts were very helpful and were quick to answer all the questions we had before, during, and after the stay. Highly recommend staying here. Especially families with kids.

WOW! This house has it all including great hosts!
Let's start with water on all four sides! The beach is a short walk, there is a dock to park your boat with easy access to the ocean, and a ramp that is just a short drive/walk. Access to the golf cart in this community was a great amenity. The house itself was well furnished and appointed; the hosts really thought about what would be used in the house from dishes, to cookware to condiments! We have stayed as a family at multiple short term rentals and this is by far and away the best. Great location. Great amenities. Great house. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets on each day. If you want to be on the forgotten coast this is the house for you. Thank you to the hosts for great communication and especially for sharing your piece of heaven!

We had a great time staying here. Close walk or golf cart ride to the beach, plenty of room inside, everything we needed to enjoy our stay was at the house.
