You want a heavenly vacation by-the-sea and you write for the answers to all sorts of questions: rates, rooms, is there a private beach, churches, fishing, sailing, golf, or all the other questions from sun decks, wall-to-wall carpets, or free ice cubes. You get back expensive brochures with beautiful pictures and lots of words - and then you aren't sure which to choose. Some people even worry about the old legend and ask us if it is true that they can't get the sand of Cape Cod out of their shoes!

You'll find plenty of fine sand on our private beach which slopes gently into Nantucket Sound, has no undertow, and because of the sun and the nearby Gulf Stream averages a refreshing 70 degrees all summer. On sun-drenched, glorious mornings, you can have your orange juice, toast, and coffee on the porch overlooking the water.

The Sea Shell Motel is not large – but it is intimate, charming, and clean. We know – we're the owner-managers and we live here on Cape Cod ourselves and can promise you the individual attention you may want for a heavenly vacation.
