Excellent Southern Charm Estate & Beach House!
Home was very inviting & felt like we were home.
Wonderful hosts & very pleasant overall experience!!
Doesn't get any better than this!!!
The Pool House was the perfect retreat for a quick family trip. The entire property is simply beautiful and we had everything we needed. Lydia is an excellent host. We hope to be back soon!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Shell House Pool House. The property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Everyone had a wonderful stay.
This place is wonderful and you will not want for things to do. It rained during our whole stay so we were not able to use the pool but indoors there was every board game and magazine imaginable.With all the furniture it was a little crowded.
I was unable to stay as planned but Lydia’s place was beautiful and Lydia was very pleasant and was willing to give me credit for my stay at a later date.

Fabulous, could not have been better!
What a wonderful home. What wonderful hosts. We look forward to staying here again.
We stopped here for 2 nights during a trip along the gulf coast. It’s a lovely, spacious unit with lots of amenities and extensive grounds. We cooked and relaxed and had a great restful stay.
I really enjoyed all the supplies that were at the house and how accommodating the owners are. We’ve already rebooked! Great house with very soft beds! Lots of pillows!
My sister, brother-in-law and I stayed at the Shell House for Thanksgiving this year but also to have a small memorial for my mom who passed away in August. It was the perfect place to be together and remember her and celebrate her favorite place be, the MS Gulf Coast, where she grew up. The place has everything and even though the setting is perfect, and the decor is just beautiful, it has a feeling of "home" and that is what we miss the most about our mama. Highly recommend this place and it was warm enough that we could sit outside by the pool and walk to the beach, too. You'll want for nothing here! We cooked our Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen, which has everything you need! The hostess, Lydia, was wonderful! Her family & friends were coming and going to celebrate the holiday, but you didn't even know they were there because the place has so much room. PERFECTION! We'll definitely be back!
We loved the pool house! The property and pool house itself were amazing. There was so much to do and see, but it was also such a relaxing atmosphere! It was honestly dreamy. Lydia provided so many things that we definitely could’ve packed much lighter. We felt very welcome and would absolutely stay here again!
We loved our stay. I would note the second bedroom is the living room twin day beds or the pull out couch. Never the less it would be comfortable for 2,4 or 6. Lydia was a generous host and the place is spectacular. Lots of amenities. We will be back.
The pool house was a great place to spend some time in December. We were impressed by how BIG it is, and it was stocked with everything we needed. Lydia was a great host, and we would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.
My mother-in-law did not want to leave. It was wonderful.
