We found this place last minute and it was a pleasant surprise. The hosts were friendly and accommodating, the house is updated and immaculate, the grounds--including the pool--are excellently cared for, the bed was super comfy, and the breakfasts were very good. The downside for us was that we stayed in the room next to the kitchen and front door,... More

Our experience was welcoming, with our hosts genuinely caring to arrange for our comforts, food preferences, and my limited physical abilities.... Oh yes, breakfasts were delicious! Their residence is new, air conditioned, elegantly decorated, and well maintained. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the in-ground pool area is designed with outdoor seating. Inside, large bedrooms and baths came with robes,... More

Shells by the Sea is not your typical B & B. Located in a quiet residential area, this modern beautiful house was a pleasant surprise. We, (the bagelman group) travel every summer to Narraganset with some friends and have stayed in several B & B's, but this was the best by far. Shells made our stay most enjoyable from the... More

Shells by the Sea is in a quiet residential neighborhood, just one street away from the main drag. It's a more modern house than I was expecting, but Shell and her husband were very welcoming. It felt like they were old friends I was staying with, rather than a B&B. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing place to... More

My husband and I travel to Narragansett every summer and stay at a B & B. Shells by the sea was by far the most beautiful place to just relax and enjoy the comfort and hospitality provided by Shell and Ned. Their pool (which was the highlight of my husband's stay) was amazing. We had the best time and felt... More

Our family of three, including my husband and our 3-year-old daughter, stayed at Shells by the Sea for nearly a week and couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. The place had been recommended to us by my cousin who was getting married; not sure how she found it, because in planning our trip PriceLine didn't even include SBTS as... More

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, and were looking for a special place to celebrate, we certainly found it. We've been to Narragansett before, but haven't enjoyed our stay as much as we did @ Shells By The Sea. Shell and Ned are very pleasant and accommodating. We had the suite downstairs so we were fortunate enough to... More

My entire family consisting of 18 people were in Rhode Island for my nieces's wedding. We had a wonderful time at Shells by the Sea. It was just what the doctor ordered. We all live in different parts of the country and came together here for 4 days in a homey home. The house is very lovely and set up... More

My husband and I have been to Shells By The Sea twice already, and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Rhode Island !! It is the most beautiful B&B we have ever stayed in.
