Excellent stay
The property is beautiful and very well maintained. Communication was excellent from check in to check out. We had a very small issue come up and the communication and fix was incredibly fast. Jared and team were great to work with. Our family of 5 including 3 kids under the age of 10 stayed and the swimming pool was a huge perk. We would definitely stay here again.

Fun with friends
We loved our stay at secret seashell! The location was very private and you could hear the waves from the house. Jared and Keri were very responsive. Loved that only the bedrooms were air conditioned and the outside living room made our stay! Would definitely recommend!

Simply amazing
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in paradise at the Secret Seashell and will strongly consider returning to enjoy this villa again (we visit Coral Bay regularly). The home is stunning and well appointed. We were attracted to the outdoor space including private pool, beautiful grounds and view as well as a large patio with a covered outdoor living room, and experiencing it in person far exceeded our expectations (even better than the pictures)! We primarily stayed on the main floor and it was exactly what we needed with a young toddler. In fact, we partly chose this villa because it is lower down on the peninsula and has balconies where a little one could not fit between the bars. Other than picking up a few items of sea shell decor, the home was already baby proofed enough that we could all relax and enjoy our time. The management team is great and recommended islandbabyvi.com from whom we ordered a pack-and-play, a couple baby gates and a booster seat, which were waiting for us in the foyer. The home interior is beautiful and comfortable. The outdoor shower off the master bath is just incredible and the whole matter suite is impressive. Both of the suites downstairs were very nice and one of them also has an awesome ornate stone shower that was indoors but still open air, so my wife often used it as well. Since visiting Coral Bay many years ago, we just keep coming back for more, and this home is in an awesome location without the steep mountain roads. Well be back!

Secret Paradise
Secret Seashell is a hidden gem. A true secret paradise. House was in excellent condition with all the amenities you need for your stay. Kitchen is well equipped. There are 6 beach chairs and 3 coolers of various sizes. Pool is great. Outdoor cabana with ceiling is great for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The great room and kitchen are not air conditioned but have 4 large sliding patios doors; combined with 3 ceilings fans, there is enough breeze to stay comfortable. 3 bedrooms have A/C, which is perfect for sleeping. Jared, Keri, and Kyle was great to work with. Kyle escorted us to the house on day one (the access road is dirt/gravel before you arrive at a gated drive). He sent us daily “Good Days” and recommendations for beaches and restaurants. Great guy. Downstairs laundry was perfect for mid week laundry or drying towels and chammys after a day on one of the many, beautiful beaches. It was a perfect secret paradise for our family of 6 adults.
