Wonderful location!

Loved the Shell house for our recent beach stay. It has plenty is space for our family of 6. Less than a block from the nearest beach access point. It was clean and decently maintained. The only minor negatives is that the starter on the grill doesn’t work and the cable stations were not functional either. Neither was a big deal as we didn’t watch TV much. Overall, it was a great house on Sunset Beach. We would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Bill Bethea

Host profile image
I was raised in North Carolina but after making a career of the USAF all of my children squatted in northern Virginia, with my grand children, so I'm stuck except when I get to enjoy beautiful Sunset Beach, NC and we do that as often as we can. Bill Bethea

Why they chose this property

Its a nice quiet family beach but close enough to Myrtle Beach, S.C. if we need a hit with night life or amusements for the children.
