Heated Pool Oasis

“I absolutely loved the heated pool at Shell Beach Inn! Every evening, my family had the pool to ourselves, which made it feel like our own private oasis. The area around the pool was so well-designed, complete with comfy seating and blankets for those chilly nights. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.” view full review

Comfortable and Cozy Room

“Our room was beautifully designed and equipped with everything we needed. I particularly appreciated the dimmable lights and the 'fireplace' ambiance, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect retreat after long days. There was even a thoughtful popcorn treat waiting for us upon our arrival!” view full review

Kid-Friendly Fun

“The Shell Beach Inn is perfect for families! My kids loved the nearby Dinosaur Park, and being able to see the beautiful ocean views was an added bonus. I was thrilled to have a pool right outside our room, which allowed us to enjoy poolside dinners while keeping an eye on our little ones. The area was safe and spacious for children to play, making it an lovely family retreat.” view full review

Cozy Night In

“Although I experienced some limitations with the TV options, the Shell Beach Inn still provided a cozy atmosphere for a night in. The thoughtful addition of a wireless charger and a cute sitting area made it a great spot to catch up on some shows. I enjoyed the peace and comfort of our room while relaxing at the end of the day. Next time, I'll remember to bring a few movies along!” view full review
