About this property
5 Min Walk to Beach & Berts! Relax in this Pet & Family Friendly Home with Wrap-Around Deck.
- 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. Its wide beaches, solid surfing, eclectic neighborhoods and community of locally-owned restaurants and shops make it the perfect place in which to revel, relax, and reconnect.
