Cute beach house!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute beach house. The place was exactly as pictured, clean, and a short walk to the beach. The addition of the wagon, beach chairs and beach set up made everything very convenient. We would definitely recommend this house and host!

A Splendid Time

The home is in a gated community making it free from the craze outside with traffic giving us a nice break from it all. A plus from this home is the very walkable distance to the beach making it easy to get there and the supplied beach equipment is a great add on for it as well.

Beautiful house, clean upon arrival. Had issues with the smoke detector, the laundry room lights and the grill. Notified host and items were fixed in a very timely manner and the gentlemen who came to fixed things was extremely nice and professional. Did inform the host that one of her beach chairs were missing when we went to retrieve them. Overall good experience and beautiful house. Not too far from beach. Was a pleasant walk. Enjoyed our week, thank you!

We had a great time staying here! The house was amazing——very clean and the perfect set-up for what we needed. It’s just a short walk to the beach and having the chair and umbrella set-up is convenient and a game changer! This place is close to shopping and attractions! A tree had fallen on the deck from a storm the night before we got there. The rental company emailed and texted and were very nice and prompt on getting that taken care of quickly without us having to say or do anything. We would definitely stay here again!

FREE Beach Service is Unbeatable!

We had a great vacation at Seashell St Croix! Everything was fabulous and the FREE included beach service set everyday with 2 chairs and an umbrella was a game changer. We will never a rent a home without it again. We had a space saved at the beach for us everyday! The house was spotless, sooooo much cleaner than any other place we have ever rented. The bedding and pillows were so comfortable and brand new! The home is close to the pool and a quick walk to the beach. This place is close to everything we wanted and more. Beach Luxury Vacations made check in easy and their communication was by far the best we have ever had. We would highly recommend staying here!
