The cottage was just perfect for our first visit to the island! It had everything we needed and the golf cart was so fun. We loved being in the “forest”….we will be back!!

Lovely stay
Our family (with 2 teenage daughters) had a wonderful stay. The cottage was lovely and clean and had lots of essential amenities. The host was amazing with response time to any concerns. We also really enjoy the part of the island that this cottage is in.

Perfect Island Retreat
Shell Cottage is a most-perfect retreat on BHI! The location is unbeatable (5-minute walk to the beach) and the house itself is lovely and comfortable. The golf carts and other amenities made our vacation a top-notch experience. Also, the hosts were very responsive and have put much thought and care into making their guests feel welcome. We would love to come back to BHI and would definitely stay at Shell Cottage again.

Winter’s Rest
This is our second time at Shell Cottage and it’s perfect for small families like ours (2 adults, 2 teens). Location is convenient for sunrise and sunset watches and to the shoals. Daily bike rides and beach walks were perfect for unwinding 2023 and gearing up for 2024. Cozy cottage with everything you need.

Terrific for a quiet Thanksgiving getaway!
We love being at this end of the island and we’ve stayed in several units in Sumners Crescent over the years. This one didn’t disappoint! It was nicely appointed and cozy comfortable for two empty nesters. Perfect for a low-key holiday weekend. Thank you!
