Perfect location! Room 216 was good. Furniture fine. Beach View awesome. Bed comfy. My only issue is either the water has a smell or it’s the shower/tub drain has a smell. Otherwise, good 3 night stay.

I loved my stay at Shell Island Resort! The staff were great, my room was clean, (King) huge, kitchenette was so handy, a separate living space w a big flatscreen tv and then…there is the most stunning part of this Resort…a full balcony with comfy chairs and a table with OCEAN FRONT VIEWS!!! For those who love the sea and from one who grew up by the Sea I can’t get enough! I will be back often! Even if it’s cold outside being by the sea, there’s nothing more relaxing to the human mind and body. I give Shell Island Resort a 10 star rating!!

The location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our stay was quiet and relaxing. Amenities were adequate. The property is overdue for a remodel. The room desperately needed some TLC. A deep cleaning and an updating, Overall, it was a very nice getaway and we would recommend!

Location and ocean views were excellent. The front desk people were friendly and helpful. The room itself needs updating. The heavy drapes and heavy furniture make it seem a little dark and dingy. While it was cleaned from the last visitor, it wasn’t freshened up and was dusty. That all said, the views were spectacular!
Woke up to this every morning.
Even on the day it rained the view was great.
