The invitation

A week above Shell Beach

We've got the house on Wild Moor Reach for a full week next October — a bi-level home plus a detached casita, set on a half acre at the end of a private cul-de-sac. Panoramic ocean and garden views from four decks, a gourmet kitchen, a hot tub, and an eleven-minute walk down to the water. Room for two families or three to four couples.

What people said

“You couldn't have been more comfortable — to read, play games, watch the wild animals, and spend time with family. The views from basically every window in the house. We couldn't have asked for anything except more time.”
Peggy & Diane W. · May 2026

“We loved watching the deer, turkeys, and other animals roaming the fields around the home. A great beach is a very close walking distance. The kitchen has everything you need to cook family dinners.”
Mercedes P. · May 2025

“Layout of the home worked well and was very comfortable. Views were outstanding, the deer and wild turkeys were content to come by to visit, and our host even dialed up outstanding weather.”
Alvin M. · March 2025

One heads-up: the owners noted that the property just below their lot began new home construction, with work hours 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, six days a week. They have no control over it — and this note dates from the listing, so it may well be finished by October 2027.
