“High Expectations /Disappointing Reality”

We have booked at this resort through VRBO and have been very pleased. This time we booked directly through the resort and have had many issues. We reserved a King Size Deluxe suite August 4th for September 21st. After Labor day we were notified that there would be renovations to the parking deck and we would be shifted to the... More

“Beach is magnificent !”

Shell Island Resort is everything about location. On the end of Wrightsville Beach is quiet and the beach is beautiful. Each unit is indiviudally owned so it depends on the unit as to the decor. All units are oceanfront with a small balcony. Our unit had a partial kitchen (Microwave, apartment refrigerator), 1 1/2 baths, 2 full beds. It was... More

“Just average - dirty and no covers on the beds”

We visited with our two young children for a weekend stay. The hotel is located on an absolutely gorgeous piece of land. There is so much potential and missed opportunity here. The rooms are just not adequately cleaned and shockingly the bed covers are two sheets. I've never in my life stayed at a hotel that had no blankets or... More

“Excellent ”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago via mobile

We have stayed at Shell Island 5 times and we absolutely love it. Staff is incredible. Beach is beautiful and accommodations are perfect for our family. King bedroom offers a bit more space in the bedroom for luggage and stuff but we normally get a two bed bedroom because there are 2 adults and 2 children. Each room has had... More

“Lovely Beach”

Nice place to stay, all rooms are ocean front, staff is great and helpful, but they are very young adults who don't have the professional touch. There are no free breakfast but they do have a buffet style breakfast. The cost of renting beach chairs and umbrella can be costly if your going to be there for awhile, so pack... More

“Vacation ”

Chose this resort based on Trip Advisor reviews. Friendly and helpful staff. Awesome ocean view from the room. Older hotel but nicely maintained. King sized bed is a bit droopy. Great beach access. Would likely stay here again. It's the last resort on the strip so that was nice.

After experiencing a horrible divorce, I just needed to spread my wings and fly. I traveled all around the country looking for signs of life.
