Our family had a wonderful stay. The views were amazing and the home was clean and spacious. Communication with the property manager was quick and helpful. We would definitely recommend this home for your next vacation!
I'm not sure I can summarize. It was amazing!! The house was beautiful and perfect for my family of 10. It was sparkling when we arrived. The view was fantastic! We had a bit of an issue with the number lock, but help was immediate, caring, and effective. We can't wait to stay there again!!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Shell Seeker. Love the entire house and the view. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Definitely recommend this home for your family/friends gathering
You can't beat the views from this property. The proximity to the beach is great and the beach itself was wonderful. Great house for large family gatherings.
Lovely house, beautiful location, comfortable beds, ok stocked kitchen. Bathroom - had nice shampoos and body wash. Only one refrigerator, so limited space for large groups. Bring ice chest for drinks. Limited house hold supplies, we only had 2 rolls of paper towels for 10 people for 5 days. Maybe 8 laundry pods, and dryer sheets, No cleaning products, or bathroom air freshener/ Febreze. We ran out of trash bags, Game room is nice, needs better lighting. Smells musty. Beautiful view! Short walk to beach!
The house is a perfect Fort Bragg retreat for a large family. It’s located in a quiet kids friendly neighborhood with direct access to a beautiful beach. It’s well maintained and clean. And views are even better than on the pictures.

Beautiful views of the ocean from the living room and 3 of the bedrooms. Plenty of space for large groups to gather and eat, five bedrooms, and a well stocked kitchen. A great value for sure!
We were a party of 6 adults and 2 children and had plenty of room to enjoy our stay. House was very clean and well stocked. The great room along with the kitchen with the huge island
