  Shell Station is always a great get-away. The house is well stocked (towels, bath esssentials, washer/dryer). Very comfortable and care-free. Great sound system, great deck, great views of ocean. The sound of the waves is just out your window and extremely relaxing.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Wow, what an amazing weekend! Shell Station was super clean, well decorated and cozy. The kitchen is more equipped than my house! :) It has a wonderful view of the Gulf from the deck and bay window. Everyone on the beach was friendly which made a fun environment. My favorite was the clear skies at night which made for good star gazing. It has a couple of local places to shop and dine. I recommend Eagles for breakfast and pizza at the “Big Store”. “Big” is also is good for souvenirs. What a wonderful weekend and property…can't wait to go back!

  My family and I stayed at the Shell Station over spring break 2012. We LOVE the Shell Station and will definitely be back! The place is immaculate, everything is new and it is decorated / furnished to the hilt. There are flat screens in every room with full directTV access, a great stereo system with outdoor speakers, a great screened in porch, a nice big deck, and a great outdoor shower. Also the kitchen is very well stocked, we wanted for nothing. The views of the water are great and the beach is close enough to walk to in 3 minutes. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back!

  Shell station was heaven on earth. The set-up was extremely functional and the kitchen was probably better stocked than my kitchen at home. The view was fabulous, very relaxing. The owners have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and care free. A wonderful sound system with speakers on the deck, well lit inside and out, flat screen TVs with DVD players, screened in porch out back, extremely beachy and comfortable, including outside shower (woohoo)! I will definitely return.

  Shell Station is Awesome - Exactly as I would have built & decorated it. The most important thing about my vacation was spending more valuable time with my wife and twins than ever before! If I owned Shell Station, I would probably never leave.

  Had great fun in beautiful Shell Station! I would love to do this too. Get a house, decorate it, then rent it out & enjoy it for our family too! Maybe one day I can make that dream come true. Loved it so very much.

  Your home is absolutely wonderful! We rented this for Spring Break. I can't believe all the amenities! Extremely nice for rental property. Will recommend it to friends. This is our first visit to Crystal Beach since Ike. We are former homeowners just two lots over. Everything looks so different. Although the storm was devastating, it is so clean now. Coming to your beautiful home makes us really want one! Thank you for sharing your home. We had so much fun !
