Great location and fair prices. Place is somewhat dated and old. Needs paint and redos in areas. Room was nice size with great view of ocean. Did have kids near up late making lots of noise two nights. Furnace filter was very dirty. We told staff when we left. I tightened knobs on most of kitcheon cabinets. Pillows were good. Shampoo size was tiny. Still would stay here again as pricing was good.

Please raise money from your guests for hot tub part that makes the jets work. A warm tub is not hygienic and this should be addressed ASAP. This quirky place is fabulous. The hot tub and night life could use some Jazz music. Inside the units the decor is specific to each owner so it was nice. Thanks Shell Island Staff

The suite was so cute and clean. We had a suite on the 8 th floor with gorgeous ocean views. It was very clean and did not smell of mildew. The beds are comfortable. We loved the room and the front desk staff. The only thing needing improvement is the restaurant but there are a plethora of restaurants in the area. Would stay here again in a minute!!

The resort is on the end of Wrightsville with wonderful views of the inlet by Figure Eight Island. In warm months, the vast beach is smooth with easy entry into the ocean. A sand bar prevents the ruts I've experienced at south facing resorts. The walls are not the thickest so a loud neighbor can be tough. Our unit needed some updating with towel bars not secure and a burner unit that looked well past its life. Front desk staff were very friendly. The parking deck is convenient with very easy access to lower levels.
