A Shell of a Time

Was everything and more than we could have expected great sleeping beds and plenty of hot water. One of the best furnished kitchens. Super pool and back yard and beach stuff Highly recommend

A short walk to the beach and fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy the beach and the pool. Appreciated the loud doorbells on each door so kids couldn't unknowingly escape to the pool. Great porches for outdoor dining and fellowship. Extremely clean.

We enjoyed our grandson's first beach trip at A Shell of a Time. The accommodations could not have been better. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for meals and games with our growing family. The short walk to the beach was a plus with our little one. Thankful for the chairs and wagon provided! Appreciated the ability to have pool warmed up a little extra for our baby's first pool experience . Cannot think of anything we needed! Thank you to owners and Pier42 for a great vacation .

Wonderful experience. Organized, effecient and great customer care. Thank you. We will be back!

We had an outstanding stay at this Ocean Isle Beach home. The house was brand new, spotless, and beautifully maintained—it truly felt like staying in a luxury home. Everything was clean, fresh, and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect: close to the beach and local attractions, yet still quiet and peaceful. It was ideal for both downtime and getting out to explore the area. What really set this experience apart was Jamie, from the management company. She was top notch, professional, responsive, and proactive throughout the entire stay. Communication was clear, check-in was seamless, and she made sure everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely rent this home again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality stay in Ocean Isle Beach.
