Or pick up picnic/snack items at the Publix Grocery, which includes a deli, liquor store and a pharmacy. Back at the beach enjoy swimming, sunning, surfing, fishing and skimboarding. Be sure to check out the popular riverfront restaurant with dock and water views, Caps on the Water, located less than half a mile walking distance from the home.

Very nicely decorated on inside, comfortable beds, sofa and chairs, nice new appliances and TV, had everything we needed. Long walk to beach and unfortunately weather did not cooperate.

Winter escape
5/5 stars
We enjoyed our stay at House of Shells. The kitchen was well equipped and the furniture super comfortable. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had. The location was great- near the beach and restaurants. The back porch was perfect for gatherings and coffee in the morning. My only suggestion would be to be more specific on “pet friendly” and state what your restrictions are - by weight or type or number. Thank you!
- Bonnie

Bonnie, thank you for your review and stay. We are so glad you enjoyed the home and location! We are also pleased to hear that our team responded quickly! It was a pleasure hosting you and we would love to have you back!

Wonderful!
5/5 stars
We loved the home as soon as we walked in. There were only two of us, so, while quite lovely, we didn’t venture need the 2nd floor. The amenities were all in working order or were attended to promptly. The home is precious, the back yard beautifully cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub and the firepit was a welcome addition that we enjoyed. We wished we had booked it for a longer stay. We’re already planning a trip for next year! Not a 5, this is a 5+!

Cute & relaxing getaway
5/5 stars
I highly recommend the House of Shells. It was clean and perfect for 2 couples or a family to enjoy a weekend away. We were able to walk to the beach, only a half mile away, and we could easily Uber to downtown when we wanted to. They're are plenty of amazing local restaurants in the area and I loved that this location was close enough to downtown but fast enough away to be relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub and porch area and everything on the property was beautifully decorated.

House of Shells
5/5 stars
This is a beautiful home! My husband and I walked in to a clean, beachy, fully-furnished home that had everything we were looking for. My husband’s favorite part was the hot tub on the beautiful enclosed back patio, complete with a grill, fire pit, garden, and outdoor roku TV (a man’s dream come true). We loved sitting in the hot tub while catching a game on TV. I loved the kitchen—roomy and the appliances were beautiful. This house was SO CLEAN and the furniture was super comfy. I was also thankful for the little things like shower essentials, salt and pepper, complimentary bottled water, and beach essentials (umbrella, patio chairs, sand toys, and even fishing rods). We also got some complimentary passes for some of the attractions in St. Augustine and a couple coupons for some local desserts. It was hard for us to go do the fun things in St. Augustine because we were so comfortable in the home. 10/10 recommend!!
- Jessi

Jessi, we are so glad you had such an amazing time at our place! It was a pleasure to host you, and we are thankful to hear you had a 5-star stay! We hope you come back soon!

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the House of Shells this week! We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, fixing meals in the well-equipped kitchen, playing the supplied board games, and using the gas grill out back. The decor is just beautiful and the townhome is sparkling clean! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us to make precious memories

House of Shells Vacation
4/5 stars
Property was very clean. Location is good. Our family really enjoyed the duplex. Pet friendly option was great. Only negative is there is no description of how to get to the beach. You can’t simply walk across A1A from the subdivision to get to the beach. The best way to walk is out the back of the subdivision on a road between properties (semi-wooded) and up 2nd street until you can cut over to 3rd street. The closest beach access is at 3rd street. We chose to drive down to the public beach access a mile or do down the road that had a pedestrian bridge going across. Much more convenient for us with all our stuff. It wasn’t a huge deal for us. It’s just something we would have liked to have known rather than figure out when we got there.

Excellent stay at Casa de las Shells
5/5 stars
We loved this place, and enjoyed our stay. It was a very short walk to the beach, and also right around the corner from one of Saint Augustine’s best restaurants. Casa de las shells had everything we needed for a relaxing no stress holiday. Very easy check in and check out process, it was exceptionally clean and well stocked with needed supplies, games, beach gear and towels. We would definitely book here again in the future.
