Welcome to the "SHELL STATION HOUSE” in Folly Beach, South Carolina! Shell Station House is a dog-friendly home that is perfect for families wanting a comfortable & relaxing Folly Beach vacation house that is walkable distance to the beach (4 blocks) and the restaurants & shops on Center Street (1.5 blocks). This house features a wrap-around deck with teak dining furniture, a screened-in porch, a spiral staircase connecting the three floors of the home, cheerful beachy-themed decor and a family room with board games, large screen TV and plenty of room for your kids to play.
