Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Shell Island Resort offers stunning oceanfront suites with private balconies or patios, allowing guests to enjoy breathtaking views of the beach.
The room was comfortable and the view was amazing.
Our suite was updated and comfortable.
Wonderful staff and very clean.
If it wasn’t for the location, you would be better served to stay at a Knights Inn and save yourself some money. I have stayed at Shell Island for close to 15 years and until the past five years, it was a great place. In the past few years, however, the quality has diminished and the price has risen. It’s just the way of the business world these days, but regardless I prefer better quality when I’m on vacation.

We have stayed at Shell Island Resort before and plan to come here again in the future. We really liked the room we were staying in (Room 401), particularly because of the view on two sides. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful.
No facial tissues, decaf coffee, dish towel ! After 20 yrs rethinking staying @ Shell Island Resort again??.
Smelled like urine the whole time..water weird tasting.
Excellent location and ocean views. Reasonably clean and everything works. Bathrooms are dated but fully functional. Good onsite parking. Pools are clean and well maintained.
We just love the place, for 20 years of trips, it just feels like home. The staff is friendly, the rooms are smart and efficient for a family and the location and the view are better than anywhere we have ever stayed in the world.
The hotel sits right upon Wrightsville Beach and is designed so each room boasts a nice view of the Atlantic. The room is actually a suite, comprised of a separate bedroom, bathroom and common area, which is conducive to privacy if more than one person is staying. While some walls could use a brightening coat of paint or a dab here or there of spackling, the amenities are current and up to date, which is nice. Downstairs boasts a spacious and well kept lobby with easy access to the ocean, pools, or a cafe whose quality of food is competent. All in all, this was a charming and efficient hotel and I would likely stay here again.
