Definite 3 star. Room was clean and they have a good layout, but otherwise average. Need serious soundproofing: slamming doors, conversation in other units, toilets flushing, makes it hard to sleep. Beach is beautiful, but hard to enjoy from the balcony with people smoking pot in nearby units.

The view was breathtaking. We really appreciated the double bathroom. We ate breakfast each day in the dining room and the food and service were excellent. The Assistant Manager, Josh, anticipated our every need and was so welcoming and friendly, The staff at the desk was also helpful and welcoming. We like forward to our next visit!

The furniture was Ikea level but the room was clean and had everything we needed except a dishwasher. The building itself seems worn, and one of the two elevators did not work for some of our stay. Some of the staff were very nice and welcoming, while others were not very friendly.

We have come to this resort every time we visit Wilmington for 25 years and we have never been so diappointed. Our rooms were so undesirable that we won't be back. One double bed lookied like it had been slept in and we had to request a change before sleeping the 1st night. The mattress nd linens are cheap. It felt like sleeping on cardboard with a rough old sheet. Absolutely no ventilation in the condo and no thermostate throughout so we left the beach slider open and we fought to sleep on the couch. The bonus of the condo was that the stove top did not work either. This is officially our last visit to Shell Island.

The resort is generally very nice. Although, it does show need of repairs here and there as did our condo. Considering that we paid extra for the top tier condo, I expected it to be nicer.

This hotel is not what I expected it to be. I thought these were all walk out onto the beach suites. I had no idea it was a high-rise. It is pretty much at the furthest point of Wrightsville Beach that you could possibly get so it was very out-of-the-way of anything. And I know this I would’ve rented a car instead of relying on Uber and Lyft. The fire alarm went off one night right before midnight, and it was not very loud in the room. I did notify the security person at the hotel, but she didn’t seem to really be overly concerned, by the fact that I was telling her that the alarm was not very loud. All in all our stay was good. The weather was not very good, but that’s not something that can be controlled. We did make the most of our vacation and the hotel was not horrible, but as I said before, it’s not what I expected it to be.

Let me start by saying the view and beach were amazing. It is a quiet end of the beach and there was a strong police and park ranger presence. The rooms are dated and do not feel very fresh. The water trickled out of one of the bathroom faucets. The water that came out of the bathtub tap was brown. The staff was not very warm and welcoming. Even upon checkout, I was never even asked how my day was. They were no beach chairs and umbrellas because it was considered the off-season. I had previously asked if that would be available and was told yes. Had I known, I would’ve packed beach chairs. I cannot speak to the bar and restaurant as I did not experience those.

The staff at the hotel were very nice. Let me check in Early. Convenient garage right next to hotel. Patio door wouldnt open. They called maintenance. Tv wouldn't work. They called maintenance. Tv remotes were horrible!! Barely changed channels. Kitchen was nice but left 1 tiny pack of dry cream ( about 1/8 tsp), and 2 tiny packs of sugar ( about 1/ 2 tsp). Not even enough for 1 cup of coffee or tea. 1 small pack of coffee.. no tea bags. ( i dont drink coffee). Cant get ice anywhere - have to buy. Can rent chairs & umbrella for beach. 1 umbrella & 2 chairs cost $50.00. ( a bit much). 1 tiny, tiny bar of soap in shower. No blow dryer. Tiny container of shampoo. Beds were comfortable. All in all not bad, but wont be back.
