Another wonderful stay at the Half Shell.. this has all the comforts of home and then some. When it comes to cleanliness and care for this home, Ashley crosses the T’s and dots the I’s ..Just a short walk to the beach.. and local eateries . This is our second time staying here, but our 5th year with Ashley .. Sandy Feet just next door is where we normally stay with a larger group. You won’t be disappointed staying at either. I won’t book anywhere else when traveling to Surfside. Til next time .. best memories are made at the beach

The Half Shell was the perfect house for our vacation. No steps! My Mom is 79 and my 2 dogs are 15 years old so no steps was a big plus! We had a great time. This was my second stay at The Half Shell and it did not disappoint. New paved driveway and upgraded stove and microwave since my 2023 stay. The AC works great, the shower water presssure is amazing and all within a short walk to great Beach Access! We enjoyed the Farmer's Market on Tuesday and the Flea Market on Thursday. We found some great shells at the Beach!!! We LOVE Surfside
