We enjoyed our stay in an oceanfront 1bedroom suite. The only suggestion - it wasn’t very well stocked with utensils, etc. We also liked how it was at the end of the road so there weren’t too many people (even for Memorial Day).

Always love this property. Great location, friendly staff, updated, fresh and clean rooms at least for their top tier rooms. Love the space and ocean views. Wish the pool and hot tub were open all night and that the fitness room was much better though.

Location location! It was wonderful to be oceanfront with a balcony. What was a surprise were the sunset views over the wetlands. Since the resort is at the end of the road, the beach walks were amazing! The bed was comfortable and to have 1 1/2 baths for the two of us was very convenient. The property while dated had friendly staff. For a unique experience of natural beauty with all the comforts of home, we recommend Shell Island Resort.

Very poor service

Location is good. But service was poor. We stayed for 3 nights and there was no room service. It was mentioned that there was complementary breakfast but when we arrived, I was told there is only paid breakfast. There was no hospitality and property is very old. They were only concerned about taking money. I will not be back for sure. I DONOT recommend this place.

This is our third time staying at Shell Island resort and we like the property because of the views and beach access. However, our unit lacked basic equipment (dishwasher, luggage rack, broom for sand, etc). I would stay again, but would request a better condo.

The property was right on beach! Staff was friendly. Parking garage on site for reasonable cost. Nice pool area. Only downfall was our room was above the event room and was noisy with pounding music until 11. Events should end no later than nine when noise level is so loud or further sound proofing should be done. We could not enjoy our balcony due to smokers at the event standing below our room smoking should only be allowed away from building.

Beautiful beach. Restaurant was closed at times due to lack of staff. Out of item like jelly or honey. English muffin microwaved and not toasted.Bad odor from one sink drain. Unit had no screens on the sliding door so could not keep it open . Ac hard to regulate. Could not read the control knob on the frig. NO TV directions so could not get news or local channels. For a suite it is very cramped.
