Pleasant stay, walking distance to Seaside shopping and restaurants as well as the beach, no car needed. Royal Destinations personnel very attentive to our needs and were always in contact to make sure we were happy with our stay. House was perfect for a large family gathering.

Perfect Tennis location

A Guest from Tulsa, OK US
Nov 2024

We have a large group of women who travel to Seaside for an annual girls' tennis trip, almost 10 years now. This house is a great size for our group of 40+ year old ladies, and we love that we all have our own bathrooms! It is beautifully appointed and was the perfect location to walk to breakfast in the morning, grab a cocktail, freshen up at the house and then walk across the lot to the Seaside tennis club. We have stayed at this house several years ago and were thrilled that it was available to us this year. We would love to stay again!

Manager Response

Stunning Seaside Home!

Amy F. from Lebanon, OH United States
Apr 2024

Absolutely gorgeous home! Clean, well maintained and thoughtfully designed. Location was wonderful, tucked away yet still so close to all Seaside has to offer. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Royal Destinations was wonderful to work with, by far the best experience we’ve ever had when renting a vacation home. We would recommend this home to friends/ family and would definitely stay here again

Perfect location across from pools, lawn, volleyball, tennis etc.

Julie G. from Plano, TX United States
Aug 2023

Best location in Seaside. Quiet street near everything. Beds are comfortable, ample bath & beach towels. Loved the open kitchen, living & dining area. Main living area is a bit small for 16 people but dining table works for seating too. We’ve stayed in many locations in Seaside and this was our favorite! We prepared dinner at home every night while men & kids threw frisbee on the lawn across the street. Truly ideal location and enough bedrooms, private baths and space for everyone to spread out. Thank you Royal Destinations! What a special home.

Manager Response

Julie, we are so happy to hear you had a nice stay at The Shell. The Shell is a great home with a hard to beat location in Seaside. We are glad you took full advantage of the activities that are just a few steps away from the home. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Our family loved our stay at The Shell! The location was amazing and the house met our expectations and more. The big surprise was how much our group enjoyed the proximity of the pickle ball courts. Between beach time they played mornings, late afternoons and after dinner!

Great House for multigenerational family

A Guest from Duluth, GA United States
Jan 2023

This house was wonderful. Had every amenity that you needed for a pleasant stay. We had multifamily members of different ages and yet everyone was able to find comfortable and accommodating space. The kitchen was large enough for several people to be in there at the same time. All the bathrooms had nice fixtures and was spacious. All the bedrooms were extremely comfortable according to everyone. If we come back, we will definetly stay there again. Love the location as well. If I were to give one suggestion, it would be about the main living room/sitting area. I just felt with the size of the house, it could have been larger. However, there was more than one sitting area which was upstairs. That was nice for family members that needed time away from others. On another note, a house that large with more than one family staying needs more kitchen garbage bags. An extra one is not enough with the number of people that house can accommodate. We ended up buying more

Nichole L. from Mobile, AL United States

I cannot say enough great things about this house. It was very clean and big enough for our large group of girls for a weekend getaway. The location was very close to all of the Seaside bars and restaurants and right next to the fitness center with pickleball and tennis courts. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Manager Response

Nichole, we are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Shell. The Shell is an incredible home located in the heart of Seaside with the croquet lawn, pickleball court, the family pool, tennis, and workout facilities right outside your door. We are so glad you had a nice stay and hope to welcome you back soon.
