Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Great ocean views and access
By beach lovers on 8/27/2007
We stayed on one of the lower floors, and close to the elevator. The view of the surf is great even from the lower floors. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is tiny but certainly usable, the furniture well-kept. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. On the downside: The ''balcony'' is actually a tiny little strip of concrete barely big enough for 2 chairs, and the outside furniture was filthy. Being close to where the pool was turned out to be a drawback, because they started playing music first thing in the morning and it went on all day and into the night. The choice was to either shut the sliding glass door and miss out on the ocean sound, or put up with the really bad pop music coming out of the speakers around the pool. Too bad.

I could find a nicer place for a cheaper price.
By a Guest Reviewer
It was nice being so close to the beach, but somewhere like Country Inns and Suites is nicer and a lot cheaper. The restaraunt and indoor/outdoor pool is nice.

Great ocean access
By a Guest Reviewer
We had three rooms during our stay and had a good experience with the hotel. We really enjoyed the beach and based on experience with Florida beaches it was much less crowded

Good Clean Fun
By a Guest Reviewer
The property offers several standard beach amenities; pool, hot tub, ocean views. It hasn't aged as well as some other properties on the island but it is a pleasant resort and is worth the price.

Great Retreat
By a Guest Reviewer
It's on the northern tip of Wrightsville Beach and a bit far to walk anywhere. However, the views are great from each condo, all the rooms have the most basic kitchen necessities, and you get the most for the price you pay on Wrightsville by far. It's the hidden jem of Wrightsville Beach. Take a chance, you will not regret it!

pleasant experience
By a Guest Reviewer
Went there over July 4 holiday for 3 nights with wife and 2 kids (6 and 3). Was not too sure what to expect based on the divergent reviews we had read, but we were happy with our experience.
We arrived 2 hours before check-in but were allowed to check in immediately and a bellhop assisted us to our room. There was ample parking on each floor of the hotel. The room was very suitable for our needs and the ocean view was great. We had one breakfast and one dinner in the hotel restaurant. The breakfast was a free buffet with your usual breakfast food, though no bacon or sausage. Dinner was surprisingly tasty and the service was good. Other than the meals, we did not have too much interaction with hotel staff, though what little interaction we had was helpful.
Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we will certainly go back. The few negatives are pretty nitpicky, but worth noting: the mattress on the pullout sofa is too thin for an adult to sleep comfortably; the kitchen area could have used a drain board, paper towels and napkins. The outdoor pool area is a little small. People claim their chairs early in the morning by placing their towels down and then disappear to the beach. So do the same.

Very Nice Beach Front
By a Guest Reviewer
The remodelled rooms are very nice. Very clean and friendly spot. The views of the ocean are wonderful and it's located on a very quiet part of the beach.

A return trip is certain
By a Guest Reviewer
A very good quiet family vacation spot. Very expansive sandy beach. This is not for anyone looking for a lot of action, but a good place to relax and enjoy. My one complaint; the drinking water is awful. Bring your own.

Kids Can't Wait to Go Back!
By a Guest Reviewer
We tried this place in early 2004 and have come back 4 times since. The location is just plain fantastic--at the top end of Wrightsville Beach. There's a big beach that's not crowded and the water is clearer than you'll find further north. Two pools (one outside and one inside) provide the kids somehting to do while the sun's a bit too strong. Our kids keep pestering us to go back--all the TIME!

Very Nice Place
By a Guest Reviewer
Shell Island Resort has the Sunspree Resort nearby beat by a mile - nicer rooms, better location, better views.

It's clean, friendly and very nice. Highly recommended.

Pleased with all 3 visits
By a Guest Reviewer
I've visited Shell Island three times in the past 2 years and have not been disappointed with any stay. The rooms were clean and had all needed ammenties. The view was great.
During my last visit the end of the island had been rebuilt, so the hotel is not in danger of sinking.
I thought it was a good value for the money.
