What more could you ask for? The Shell House is the quintessential beach retreat, offering everything you could possibly need to create the vacation of your dreams. Spend endless hours basking in the warm Texas sun, whether you pack up and head out for a day on the beach, or lounge poolside with the relief of air conditioning just steps away. The spacious patio is surrounded by lush landscaping and includes a fun, shaded palapa with barstool seating, ideal for those moments when you want to enjoy an afternoon cocktail and listen to some music. If you’d rather watch the festivities from afar, the home’s wraparound deck provides you with ample views of the pool and the area beyond, complete with relaxed seating options. Apart from being close to the beach, you’ll also be within walking distance of several restaurants, bars, and shops. A leisurely stroll through the neighborhood sounds like just the thing to cap off a fun-filled day.

The interior of the home has been outfitted with everything you need for a complete, comfortable stay. A cozy living room offers plush sofa seating and a smart TV for quiet movie nights or family game time. Steps away, the dining room offers a table and chair set with room for 6, the open floor plan creating a synergistic space for entertainment between these two spaces. The fully equipped kitchen with updated counters and cabinetry is well-prepared for all types of meals, whether you choose to cook at home or prepare takeout from a local restaurant. Drip and Keurig coffee makers ensure that everyone will have their needed morning pick-me-up, taken outside to enjoy the fresh air and watch the sunrise on another beautiful day.

But wait, there’s more! Competitive and casual game guests alike will be delighted to find a game room on the lower level with a ping pong table, darts, and sliding door access onto to patio.
