About this house rental
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. Built in 1976, this eclectic charmer has even been the inspiration for a famed photographer whose photos are featured in a book about Folly Beach! Best of all, the Shell Station House is surrounded with lots of lush trees & shrubs and is a quick walk to Bert's Market, Folly Beach's 24/7 convenience store.
Just 15 miles from downtown Charleston, Folly Beach is its own universe - with its own sense of time, enjoyment, and a laidback, family-friendly energy that has earned it the lifelong affection of locals and visitors alike.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Very comfortable house in a great location. Communication was clear, check-in and check-out were easy. Worked well for our family, especially having space for the kids to play.

We had another excellent stay at the Shell house on Folly Beach. We have stayed here twice before, and always enjoy the well stocked kitchen. The comfortable beds and bedding!
The quiet home nestled among the trees within walking distance of many restaurants shops and groceries
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
We had a really nice time. Location was great- beach was close. Residents were so friendly and it was great our dog could walk on lease on the beach.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2025
Literally a 5 min walk to the beach and super close to everything! The house is quirky with a spiral staircase in the center of the home. Definitely not ideal for older guests but not a deal breaker. I found that charming. The home was very spacious and enjoyed the foosball table a lot. Plenty of beach towels and chairs available for use. Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness of the property. We found that the floors were not that clean when we got in. I attempted to use 2 different vacuums in the basement but neither worked. There is no actual broom either. We used one of the pull out couches in the basement and when pulling out the mattress we found some nail clippings. Blankets looked to be reused. Also found a dead roach next to the drier. This property can use some major deep cleaning. Rugs also stained and dirty looking. I’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and never left a review this poor.
