“Nice little place right by the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We had a wonderful time at the Beach Shell Inn. Cheryl made sure that we had everything we needed, show us great places to go and eat on the island. The hotel is small and cozy, not fancy but clean and we taken care of with a nice pool and only 100 feet to a beautiful white sand beach. Definitely would stay here again.

“So accommodating”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013 via mobile

Beach Shell is a basic motel with wonderful hosts. It is close to the beautiful beach,pool is heated, rooms are clean,with fridge and micro, it not fancy. We had some health issues and Cheryl couldn't have been more accommodating in assisting us. Would recommend this place for the price and location.

“Nov weekend at Beach Shell”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Loved the quaint little motel. Thought it was beach front but still close enough to take walks on beach. Loved the location, away from the Time square but close enough to stores and restaurants. Staff very courteous and accomodating.

“Girl's weekend at the Beach Shell”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Yes, an older property. Yes, clean. Yes, Cheryl made us feel welcome. Yes, the beach is just steps away - I wish I had read more carefully because we like to be right on the beach. BUT there was something in the detergent or the bedding that made my friend cough all night. She slept on the couch for 2 nights. Why didn't we say anything? What were they going to do? Wash again in the same stuff?
Overall a nice stay even though we were getting hit by Sandy. Loved the location.
Stay again? Probably not due to not being "right on the beach."
