Nice get away

⸻ We had a wonderful stay at Shell Island Resort! The location is unbeatable—peaceful, quiet, and right on the beach with breathtaking views. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, both at check-in and check-out, which made us feel right at home. The on-site restaurant was a pleasant surprise with delicious food and great service, though we were a little disappointed it was closed on Monday. Our room was clean and comfortable, and waking up to the ocean view each morning was a real treat. Overall, a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting—we’ll definitely be back! ⸻

Great location

This hotel is the last building on the street, so it's surrounded on three sides by beach and the beautiful green landscape around the inlet. It's a slightly quieter end of the beach and gets quieter still as you follow it north, which was great for peaceful early morning walks. The hotel itself is showing its age with some rough edges (our bed creaked loudly at the slightest movement), so not the most pristine option in the area, but the views more than made up for it for us. The restaurant is also pretty basic but affordable, and the staff were all friendly. The indoor and outdoor pools were nice as well.

Facility seems to be a bit older than some of the other hotels, however- location is great! All rooms have ocean view with balconies and the marshes are on the other side. Rooms are spacious, with sitting area and large window to the ocean. Small kitchen, 2 toilets (1 with shower). Access to beach. Large parking garage. We did not use the restaurant.
