Very unique place
This place is wonderful and you will not want for things to do. It rained during our whole stay so we were not able to use the pool but indoors there was every board game and magazine imaginable.With all the furniture it was a little crowded.

Listing of the property completely inaccurate.
Beautiful property We were mislead as to what to expect. When we booked a couple of months ago, the ad read house for rent. We saw pictures of the house and pool house. Right before we got there we were told pool house was where we would be staying. That was fine except it was listed as a 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath sleeps 6. It is actually a 1 bed 1 1/2 bath. 2 roll out beds, but the place is cluttered so no where to put them. Also no curtains in dining room and great room so at night, the owners, who live right there in the house can look right in and anyone that pulls up can see you. No Privacy. Pool is clean, but always looks dirty. Furniture around pool and other outdoor areas need a freshening up.

Beautiful Property
This property was perfect for our family vacation! The pool house was well equipped for all of our needs and wants, was exceptionally clean, and the property has the most beautiful views. Our family enjoys low key and privacy, and the pool house provided that. We truly felt at home! A big thanks to Lydia and Tom for hosting our family for the week! We'll always have fond memories of our Mississippi adventure, largely due to our experience at the Shell House Estate! We would highly recommend, and if we ever find ourselves back in Gulfport, we'll have the perfect place to stay! We miss the view already!

Family getaway
The pool house was beautiful. Just what we were looking for in our beach adventure. The kids loved the pool, water was warm so they never got too cold and had to get out. Yard is nice and shaded with fantastic views of the water. Beach was just across the road from the property. Could easily walk or take a short car ride to one of the east parking areas. Beach was beautiful, soft white sand. Since it is located on the sound the waves were very small which was great with small children. Would definitely recommend

Beautiful and peaceful vacation
We loved the pool house! The property and pool house itself were amazing. There was so much to do and see, but it was also such a relaxing atmosphere! It was honestly dreamy. Lydia provided so many things that we definitely could’ve packed much lighter. We felt very welcome and would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful home, pool, and property. There is one bedroom with a queen bed and two twin beds within the living room. There are also 2 cots with twin mattresses. Only small complaint is the number of chairs and furniture makes it difficult to move around at times. Otherwise amazing.

Oh my goodness - what a find!
We stayed at the Pool House at Shell House Estate as a break in the middle of a cross-country camper road trip. This is one of those places that you drive by and wonder what it looks like inside because it is so glamorous and historical on the outside. Well the inside is amazing as well!! And this was just the pool house! The kitchen looks small in the pictures, but it is very well appointed with a dishwasher, full size fridge, two ovens, and about three times the utensils you will ever need. It also had a toaster oven and 2 coffee makers. The inside was just stunningly decorated - it was fun just to look at everything. Lots of instruments and Lydia invited the kids to play them. We did quite a bit of laundry and the machines worked great. We did not go to the beach because there were some storms but Lydia had a ton of beach items for us to use. She had plenty of games and fun things to do for the kids and knew what was going on in the local area that we might be interested in. The pool was a lot of fun for the kids and there were plenty of toys to go with it. I loved the property and enjoyed my coffee on the patio with a fun turtle who stopped for a visit. Comfy living room with a tv and 2 sofas. Everything was so lovely and they were such gracious hosts! Oh! Lydia found some of our son's clothing and even mailed it back to us. We will absolutely stay here again!
