This house has the classic older "Sunset Beach layout" (my family has been vacationing here for decades), with a central living room & dining/kitchen space and then two bedrooms off to each side with a bathroom in between. Nothing fancy at all but comfortable and cute! The location is amazing, just a quick walk to the beach -- and the porch is definitely a highlight of the property. Cleaning could've been a bit better as we found hairs throughout both bathrooms in the showers and sinks, but this wasn't a huge deal -- we just wiped the areas down. Overall great value, would stay again.

Great home on Sunset beach! This house is in a great location and is clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Grocery store in main town not far. Everything was perfect!

Lovely, quiet and walkable. And though one can do very little about weather, the days spent here were as clement as they come.

It was a week of excitement and firsts for the kids. Even my grown children acted like kids. House was awesome, good location to beach, clean and exactly size we needed for our family. Bill was awesome at answering anything I asked. Definitely want to plan another family vacation to Shell House

I cannot begin to tell you the amount of peace I had staying at the Shell House. It was SO HARD for me to leave! Just a short walk to the beach - which was incredibly clean, the sand soft as silk, beach wasn't crowded, waves were not too rough, but not too calm. Just right! The boardwalk to the beach was in great shape. Neighborhood was pretty quiet other than the garbage trucks in the morning. 4 rooms with 2 bathrooms which was sufficient for the 7 of us. We were able to watch our favorite shows on the TV as were able to access Amazon. The kitchen has a PANTRY! Normally when we rent homes for vacations, we always have problems finding room for our food - not this time! All appliances worked well. The house was clean except for some sand leftover from the renters before us. There's an outdoor shower and hose to rinse off after being at the beach. Porches on both sides of the house - AND MY FAVORITE - a crow's nest!! I spent so much time up there - you can see and hear the ocean. It was heavenly. I'm so hoping I can go back again next year. If it were up to me, I'd be there at least 4 times a year! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Bill - it was truly the most peaceful vacation I've ever had. I love the ocean and I love the Shell House.

Shell House was absolutely perfect for our family. The location is perfect-- just a short walk to the beach that was no problem even for toddlers overburdened with sand toys. The home itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully supplied with so many things that made our stay easy and fun. The kitchen had all the tools we needed to cook, and there were bikes, boogie boards and beach accessories under the house. Access to Netflix and Disney + in rooms gave us a way to keep the kiddos entertained and get some downtime for ourselves when needed. The host, Bill, was just incredible and very responsive and accommodating. The house is comfy and welcoming for little ones, and laid out well for a family. We were so thankful for the excellent pricing as well! This was our first stay at Shell House, but we loved it so much that we booked our next year's stay while we were still there-- we can hardly wait for vacation 2024 at Shell House! Thank you, Bill, for providing this wonderful place for our family to get away from it all!

We loved our stay at this bungalow just a short walk to the beach. House is clean and had all the usual comforts of a traditional beach house. Nice perks included that we had use of some free old bikes on the property. Appliances and furniture aren’t anything fancy but everything works and we felt at home. We would definitely stay here again

The house was perfect for our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 teens). The kitchen was well equipped and everything was very clean upon our arrival. Just a short little walk to the beach - house is located in a great spot on the beach. We all enjoyed watching nightly sunsets from the roof and sitting on the front porch in the mornings drinking coffee. Wonderful week at a great property!

In general, we enjoyed our stay at the Shell House, which is well equipped and conveniently located. We were very disappointed to arrive at a dirty house, considering that we were charged an expensive cleaning fee. We spent hours cleaning the house when we arrived. The kitchen counters were dirty; the dishwasher was dirty and contained dirty dishes; the trash cans in all the bathrooms and the kitchen had garbage; there were used coffee grounds in the coffee pot; the refrigerator had partly consumed food and leftovers from previous renters; there was hair and tooth paste residues in the bathroom washbasin; the bed protector of the master bed was torn and the mattress was stained. We worked hard before we left to leave the place as clean as possible for the next guests, because we always endeavor to be good guests and treat each rental as our home, but I believe renting a place that was dirty throughout is unfair, unpleasant, and unsanitary to say the least.

House was in perfect location. Weather is as cold, but that’s nothing that can be controlled. :) Plenty of beds. Bathrooms are small but workable. Bring your own sheets. One small thing I’d possibly recommend is WD-40 for bike chains. Glad they were available but one tough to ride. Super quiet area. Ate at Sarah’s for breakfast and Becks in Calabash. And all the people around are very friendly.

My family & I spent an entire week at Shell House and we can’t wait to come back! There is space for everyone. I gave the grownups the front bedrooms with access to the screened in porch while the kids had the back two bedrooms. The bedrooms are situated in each of the 4 corners of the house while the kitchen/dining & living rooms fill the center. Jack and Jill bathrooms adjoin each pair of sleeping quarters. Ample room for all - plus the underside of the house with a wooden swing & patio furniture. The bikes, beach toys & boogie boards didn’t go unused either! But don’t forget the rooftop deck to watch the sun rise with coffee and your favorite person! Cooking was a breeze with everything you could possibly need already stocked - including the spice cabinet. Thank you for letting us love your beach home Bill!!!

This was the perfect place for our week-long getaway to our favorite beach in NC. Bill was very responsive, and the description of the property is 100% accurate. The house is very cozy - the bathrooms are small, but there are plenty of places both inside and outside to spread out. We loved eating dinner every night on the screened in porch and hanging out on the rooftop perch. The outdoor shower is fantastic - includes a sink and bench as well. All showers in the house had wonderful water pressure and heated/cooled quickly. The kitchen was stocked with ample pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc... . It's very close to beach access and near yoga on the beach classes which occur M-W-F at 7 AM during the summer months. We're already talking about booking our stay here for next year.
