Shrimpalope - 6 bd, Hot Tub, Arcade, Oceanview

This was not my first Alope Getaway and definitely won't be my last! It was, however, my first time at Shrimpalope and it didnt disappoint. The layout is good for keeping multiple generations comfortable. Having a bathroom on each floor was excellent. The living room and dining are snug for 8 adults and 3 kids, but totally doable. The only thing I would change is more comfortable mattresses. All the couples in our group got poor sleep due to the sagging mattresses making the queen beds feel smaller. The host communication was outstanding and they even gave us a free late check out on New Years Day. I can't wait for me next Alope Getaway!

The spaces were accomodating to the various age and family groups. We all had comfortable places to sleep. The kitchen is well stocked and great for cooking meals. The hot tub was a big hit, and the laundry facilities worked well. We really enjoyed the access to town and the beach. Thank you for letting us use your property. We are interested in seeing your other houses for future trips.

So close to the beach. Loved it and the hot tub.

Good times

This property is not at all what we were expecting. Although yes it did have enough beds to sleep our group of 11, and also is in a great location right across from the beach, there was a lot wrong with this place. The house and deck have many issues that need addressing and updating. The basement is full of random piles of junk and open mousetraps (including open piles of fiberglass insulation) in addition to the cool arcade games. The two rooms down there are just beds in concrete rooms, down a flight of steep stairs. The dining table and main hang out space barely accommodate 8. Certainly not 11. The drinking glasses and silverware are not adequate for the number of people this house claims to accommodate. The hot tub is tiny. It would be one thing to walk into a place like this if it were priced for budget travel. But we paid out the nose for 5 nights here and based on what we got it is an outrage. The owners of this property have put the absolute bare minimum into this place. The basement contains hazards for kids down there. The deck needs serious maintenance. Even the two Adirondack chairs on the deck are falling apart with loose nails hanging off them. On top of it all we were limited to only “starter rolls” of toilet paper and paper towels. I am shocked that the owners consider all of this acceptable and worth the crazy amount of money we paid for it.
