Truly the easiest weekend getaway! Super easy access to the beach. Although it’s in Wrightsville, it’s on the Figure 8 island side so it’s much quieter! Love love!
The hotel is at a great location and you can tell the first floor was updated, however the rooms are very dated and the elevator is hot!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very clean, it was quiet, the pools and hours were great, and parking was easy. I would definitely stay there again. The laundry facilities could be improved the business center and lobby needs AC or fans.
Room was very spacious and the view was fabulous. Great location. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Check in was quick. Everything we needed and will stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shell Island. This was our first time here and can’t wait to come back! The accommodations were very nice and the beach is beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Bar staff was amazing. Pools and hot tub were great. Beach and property was beautiful, clean, and private. Rooms were perfect, view was amazing. Great for our family! Can’t wait to go back. More options in the small shop and restaurant would be nice; hotel is a distance from nearest stores.
The property is located in a perfect Northern part of Wrightsville Bch. Our view was excellent. Just needs some design updates, but otherwise very comfortable and clean.
