From arriving to the Shell House to our departure, our stay was perfect. The home was clean, the kitchen was stocked efficiently, and the screened porch was amazing. Bill communicated in a timely fashion regarding checking in. We hope to return to the Shell House in the future.

Sand on kitchen counters as well as floors. Bathrooms were surface clean. Blonde hair in the tub. Soap dish had stains from previous tenants. Vents are filthy and so we're tha lamp shades. We made the best of it but the owner truly needs to put money back into his property instead of pocketing it.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Bethea

Host profile image
I was raised in North Carolina but after making a career of the USAF all of my children squatted in northern Virginia, with my grand children, so I'm stuck except when I get to enjoy beautiful Sunset Beach, NC and we do that as often as we can. Bill Bethea

Why they chose this property

Its a nice quiet family beach but close enough to Myrtle Beach, S.C. if we need a hit with night life or amusements for the children.
