Great house super close to the ocean

Our first trip to Shelter Cove and this was a great place to stay. Super close to the ocean with several parks very close walking distance along the coast. Lots of wildlife around to watch with deer and fox hanging around the house. We recommend this place.

This is our second time coming to Shelter Cove and renting the same house. It's always clean, you can find everything you need to cook, and this house's location is just a 1m walk from the ocean.

Great beach location

Lovely house (apart from stairs—the raised edges made it uncomfortable to come down them sans shoes). Very cozy, beautiful stained glass insets throughout. Location was amazing. quiet and enjoyable. Made for a very relaxing vacation.
