The Absolute Best
We first chose this property for its proximity to USM (walking distance). We could not have imagined how beautiful and serene it would be “in person”. Both properties are magazine worthy and the host is very kind and professional. This will be our new go-to property as researchers who visit the university often. (Thank you again for your warm hospitality, Lydia).

A Great Place to Reconnect
Shell House is the epitome of southern charm. We began our stay in the bungalow, which was "Southern Living Magazine" adorable. After the first night, our host graciously offered the pool house to us in anticipation of fence construction near the bungalow. The pool house was larger with a full kitchen, lovely decor, and easy access to the pool. The walk down the front drive to the beach is dreamy. We even spotted an eagle! Thank you, Lydia, for sharing your lovely spaces with us.

This was our first VRBO experience, so had no idea what to expect… was a little nervous, BUT, what an enchanting place it was to stay. Large green lawn under old live oaks. Full view of bay from front yard. Complete privacy. Detailed decor throughout. Will definitely go back.

Beautiful spot
Beautiful property! Right across from the beach. Beach area not crowded AT ALL! Just what we wanted! Our little bungalow was nice and private.We really loved the covered patio area with the outdoor cook top. We made breakfast out there both mornings we were there. There was great amenities. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the shower. Q-tips. Laundry pods for the washer and dryer. Dishwasher tabs for the dishwasher. We had our own beach stuff, but there was a ton available for use. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys! Pool was beautiful and had many chairs to sit at and floaties and toys to use in the pool! There was extra “fun” stuff that we didn’t get a chance to use, but was available such as a ping pong table, bean bag toss, croquet, boche ball, and more! Lydia was great at responding to any messages I sent through VRBO. She also came out and introduced herself and said to call her if we needed anything. Other than that meeting, hardly noticed her there so she definitely was not intrusive at all! Would HIGHLY recommend! It was small and cozy, but PERFECT for 3-4 people and MUCH nicer then staying in a hotel room!!
