I love the Shalimar. We had a partial view of the beach. Very clean with all that we needed. We stayed a while week and loved every minute. My favorite things about Shalimar is the towel exchange program and the walk out to the beach. It is one of the best shelling beaches. We will stay again

Ocean was only slightly visible from a sliver on one side of the building directly in front of us. Room was good sized and had a full grit, range, and some dishes/cutlery, but was otherwise furnished adequately but not luxuriously. Could have used a couch or more comfortable chairs.
