Halfshell is the perfect getaway spot for us. Love the walking distance to town and restaurants. The cottage was clean with cute beachy vibe. Love the outdoor space for a glass of wine bf dinner or coffee in the morning. We will be staying again!

We had a wonderful stay! Quiet, immaculate, great AC, Shower, and bed for those that appreciate those things. Owner is in the main house and was incredibly kind and helpful when we crossed paths. The property is right next to a Wave Bus stop. Which basically puts the island within steps and it’s free! Utilize this immediately and save the hassle of worrying about a parking place. Sincerely, one of our favorite vacations and Half Shell had a lot to do with that.
