Beach weekend
Place was great with a lot of character. Close to the beach and Center St. We weren't there for the bar scene but that didnt get in our way. We could hear the bands but they werent disruptive. Sprial stair case is not for everyone (including our 35 lb dog). Great place.

Folly Beach Shell Station
The property was great and came just as advertised. Great location, just a few blocks from the main strip, from Bert's groceries, and from the beach. The house was clean and in great shape. No problems other than the Wifi going out on us one day, but management was quick to help us get it back online. There was a bit of a musty smell in the basement, but that was it.

Christmas at Shell Station House
My family and I had a wonderful stay during the week of Christmas. The house was perfect as we visited our sailor attending NNPTC. There are so many unique features of the home, from the spiral staircase to the LP collection. Everything we needed was right there. The beach is a quick five-minute walk. The Folly Beach pier and Main Street area are just as close. And you can be on the Battery in Charleston in 25 minutes. I imagine the house is even more enjoyable during the summer months. Definitely worth the trip. Thanks for sharing your home!

Girls Trip
Perfect location. Short walk to grocery store, beach and many cool restaurants. Loved the island vibe. Easy drive to Charleston. Home was clean and comfortable and had a fun, colorful decor. The spiral stairs may be an issue for some. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for letting us stay at your home!

She’ll House Stay
The Shell House was very comfortable and the layout and design of the house was very unique. It was easy to get to the beach which a definite plus! There was a issue with the internet but it Steve responded quickly and it was resolved as was an issue with a light switch (my misunderstanding🙂) Someone came within minutes to help! Would stay at Shell House again!
