Great location and overall nice place to stay. The unit we stayed in needed to clean the floors better. Also the sliding glass door was very hard to open and close to the balcony.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The ocean and sound views were excellent and the staff was great. The on-site restaurant was very good and convienent. The only negative was the furniture in our suite was not very comfortable. Other than that, we loved our visit and would stay there again.

The beach and the view from our balcony were spectacular, our room layout in general worked well for the three of us, the staff were all pleasant to work with and the late check-out by an hour was much appreciated. We did have to ask for more supplies like towels and toilet paper, and we were pretty disappointed that the jets in the hot tub weren't working - I have arthritis and it would have been a nice way to end the day at the beach. Overall, we would love to come back to the Shell Island Resort again.

The beach view was amazing. The room was clean. Everything was outdated even the coffee machine. The was sofa was dusty. The balcony chairs had poop on them. The beach was the best part, right outside the hotel, so quiet and peaceful not overly crowded. It was cute.

I thought this place was amazing. Especially for the price. The beach is very private, while the location is not far from the main highway (easy to get to). The rooms were very clean, with great quality furniture and bedding. The view was absolutely stunning. The amenities, like the indoor and outdoor pool were very nice. I will likely be coming back to this resort often. Great stay!

The oceanfront view was spectacular we were right at the horizon line. The peace the ocean brings was just right. The staff was pleasant and though we could tell the room was recently renovated they are making the right improvements to get the facility to 98% We would stay again.

The resort and room were very clean and the staff were very professional. Location was perfect!! Beautiful beach views - all oceanfront! The only suggestion I have is to replace the mattress in the room we stayed in; it was not fit for a comfortable night’s sleep.

View is beautiful. Beach is stunning. Staff was very friendly. Room was clean but surprised to find NO hand soap, no coffee, no hair dryer nothing to wash dishes with if used...none of the little small things typically found in hotel much less a "resort" would have packed all of those if I knew. Tv in bedroom did not work properly at all Apps were inaccessible on both tvs.

Shell Island Resort is very appealing from the outside, and has a fabulous location right on Wrightsville Beach. The indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, restaurant, & Tiki Bar are also great amenities. Unfortunately, the upkeep of the resort is not well-maintained. Upon entering our room, we immediately noticed the broken balcony furniture, a dirty floor, and a broken headboard on our bed. Additionally, the hot tub by the outdoor pool was broken, and when asked, the staff had no idea when it would be repaired. Both the Tiki Bar and the on-site restaurant had odd operating hours. If the upkeep of the hotel improves, we would consider returning for another visit.

This property is in a beautiful location, sitting right on the beach and every room has an excellent view of the ocean and the beach. This is an old property and it shows its age. in my view it’s time to upgrade it, however, because every room is owned by individual owners, it’s up to the owners to choose whether to upgrade it or not. All in all it wasn’t bad but when you are paying over $450 a night you kind of expect a little better than ”not bad”, but I guess you’re paying for the view and the convenience of being right on the beach. Staff is really nice and helpful, having parking is really convenient. Having indoor and outdoor pools is also really nice, though don’t expect to have a relaxing time by the pool, there are bunch of screaming kids at the pool all the time.
