A pearl in the clam shell

We had a fantastic time at the Clam Shell! The house was very clean and comfortable for our three generations to spend time together while each had their own space. There is a full kitchen and multiple covered parking spots and it was only a mile from dining out. The elevator made it very convenient for my 80-year old parents. There were fireworks over the board walk that we watched from the balcony at night and we could see the ocean and the sound during the day. The beach and the ocean were just a short walk away. We had a very relaxing time and will visit again!

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful views of the ocean & sound. While it was a duplex, it still had a ton of space. With each room having their own bathroom, it made for a more luxury experience for each guest. Mattresses were great & I slept really well. There are a lot of steps, but the elevator helped with my grandmother who needed help. It went down, but maintenance came to fix it a few days later. Only con is parking. You anbdoluelty can get your big SUV in, but be very careful. We scrapped the corner on ours. There is a spot on the side of the property that you can park at if it’s open & its right next to the door. Overall, we would book this pretty again. Thanks for having us!

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a beautiful unit with 2 stories. The four bedrooms are spacious and all have a connected bath. Very clean. Love the decor. The elevator was a bit quirky, but probably because it was new to us. It was a Godsend as one of us has bad knees and had a 3rd floor bedroom. Easy walk to the beach! The parking is tight. Tough to get a large vehicle in there. A1 realty was very responsive to our needs when we called them. I would definitely come back.

Excellent Trip

Location and amenities are exceptional. When elevator was not coming down upon arrival, property sent someone within 15 minutes to address the issue. The rental offers everything you could need and is a very short walk to the beach. Views are amazing and all bedrooms having their own bath is truly a benefit of this rental. The layout is spacious and very accommodating for all ages. All items are there for a great stay. Highly recommend.
