“Attending wedding”

Reviewed April 4, 2013

We were in attendance of a wedding at the resort. Checkin was a breeze - every staff member that we cam in contact with was very courteous and cordial. Room was on 6th floor and had oceanfront balcony. Cant say much about the amenities since we were with the wedding party and everything was prearranged. The only disappointment was that... More

“No housekeeping service”

Reviewed April 2, 2013 via mobile

No housekeeping service. Pretty lame to be told you're on the list ( after we contacted them) and have staff not come through to do what they promised. Offered no apologies when delivering trash bags. I should have expected as much, judging by the overall condition /or lack of. Stay away!

“Nice facility, nice location, nice price, but NOT perfect.”

Reviewed April 1, 2013

It's a nice resort, right on the beach, where all rooms are suites with surprisingly complete kitchenettes in the living room. There is a bath and a half, 2 flat-screen TVs and a balcony overlooking the beach. There are two pools (not huge, but nice), one inside & one outside (with a hot-tub). There is a volleyball net, well, the... More

“Ocean view from every room, excellent resort”

Reviewed March 31, 2013

I don't hand out five star reviews freely but Shell Island Resort earns it in my opinion. It wasn't perfect of course (room service is so-so) but when everything is added up there's no way it doesn't earn the stars. My wife, son, and I have been there twice now- I like to visit a place a couple of times... More

“Right on the beach”

Reviewed March 30, 2013

This resort is right on the beach. It is on the end of the island. Very quiet. The rooms are comfortable and clean but dated a bit. There is only one overpriced and small restaurant in the resort. Buy food and cook or better yet be prepared to go out for food. This is a relaxing resort. I got a... More

“Relax and enjoy the view!”

Reviewed March 25, 2013

Just returned from a phenomenal few days at Wrightsville Beach. We were in town to attend a wedding and decided to stay at Shell Island Resort. We have stayed at other Wrightsville Beach hotels, but this one has been the best. A few things that make Shell Island better than some of the other locations are: all rooms have a... More

“I Second the Motions”

Reviewed March 22, 2013

After reading the all the reviews about this resort I chose to stay here for a few days. The view was great on both sides of the building. The beach was awesome. On the three days I was there, March 19, 20 and 21, most times you have the beach to yourself or share it with just a few others.... More

“GREAT Views.”

Reviewed March 13, 2013

We stayed for one night at the Shell Island Resort, NC March 7, 2013. Unfortunately it was unseasonably cold (freezing) and windy. The views here cannot be beat! The elevator is “glassed in” so that when you ascend to your floor, you are looking out at the intra-coastal waterways. Based upon advice on Trip Advisor, we requested room 910. Amazing... More

mcn1026, Thank you for the wonderful review, and the beautiful photos! We are very lucky to have such a wonderful location to offer, and hope to be able to accommodate you again soon. Please make a point to reserve for next Spring, when we will have renovations completed and rooms that are just as beautiful and relaxing as the view! More

“Nice Location”

Stayed here for a weekend in early March 2013. Nice location: at the very end of the homes & development on the north end of Wrightsville Beach. Short drive or even a bike ride (2.5 miles to restaurants, bars on 'the island.' Drive of about 10 mins to get to many more restaurants & all of that stuff 'off the... More
