It was like staying at your cool, artsy, french grandmas house. The house was packed with all you need and MORE. We had our 3 girls and MIL with us. The only thing that I was not happy about was how the listing was a little decieving. We thought we booked a two bedroom, 2 bathroom. But it was actually a one bedroom, one bathroom and a half bath. It had a living room with two twin beds, and a fold out couch. Sharing one bathroom for 6 ppl was a little frustrating. We made it work but I think they need to be clearer on the layout of the house. The other bathroom that was supposed to be the 2nd bathroom was the outside pool house with a shower and toilet. Next thing was the POOL! It was awesome to have a pool that we could use when we didn't want to do the beach. The grounds were beautiful and well taken care of, the kitchen was well stocked, and our stay was definitely one we will remember! ##### Bonafide Betties P.

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! ##### Jennifer P.

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 ##### Amanda M.

My sister, brother-in-law and I stayed at the Shell House for Thanksgiving this year but also to have a small memorial for my mom who passed away in August. It was the perfect place to be together and remember her and celebrate her favorite place be, the MS Gulf Coast, where she grew up. The place has everything and even though the setting is perfect, and the decor is just beautiful, it has a feeling of "home" and that is what we miss the most about our mama. Highly recommend this place and it was warm enough that we could sit outside by the pool and walk to the beach, too. You'll want for nothing here! We cooked our Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen, which has everything you need! The hostess, Lydia, was wonderful! Her family & friends were coming and going to celebrate the holiday, but you didn't even know they were there because the place has so much room. PERFECTION! We'll definitely be back! ##### Melinda K. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc S.

Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy As long as this place is available, this is where we will stay each time we visit the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The property is beautiful…from the ocean view and majestic trees to the charming pool house that literally looks like a home featured in Southern Living. The property is well maintained with tons of amenities. Tom and Lydia are most gracious hosts. The location is perfect, just a short drive to any of the popular tourist attractions but away from the congested areas. We absolutely did not want to leave this slice of heaven, and we will definitely be back, hopefully with more family to stay in the bungalow as well as the pool house. ##### Karen R.
