Top Shell Beach Hotel Reviews

Oceanfront - Hot Tub - Newly Remodeled Cottage

Oceanfront - Hot Tub - Newly Remodeled Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"The new remodeling on this location shines, with modern windowshades, lights, and outlets. Everything was very clean, including the windows, which I know can quickly get fogged over by sea spray. The outdoor space was really nice and bigger than expected. The living area was also larger than expected, with a good-sized dining area, a sitting area, and a separate TV area. Location is unbeatable--you can walk to the beach and the Kortum trail, which I took 6 miles up north all the way to the mouth of the Russian River. Very quiet and peaceful and unbeatable ocean views."

Upscale, Spectacular Oceanfront, Inside State Beach Park, 3 Mins Drive To Beach!

10/10 Excellent
"Wow! The view is beyond compare! The host was VERY friendly and communicative. They provided every bit of information you may need to have a great stay. The location is just minutes from multiple incredible beaches and views! There were even Harbor Seals lounging around at the beach (where Russian River meets the ocean). The house was very clean, and had everything needed to live for the week. There were even a couple beach chairs and blankets to use which was a nice surprise! Nothing was overlooked! The property itself is a little older and rustic, but it was perfectly clean and had everything we needed! It was perfect for our vacation and we plan to come back again!"

"This property has one of the most beautiful ocean views that I have ever experienced. The setting was remarkably private but within a quick drive to town. The house is architecturally interesting and quite serviceable. The beds were comfortable and the house was adequately supplied for all our needs."
