Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The Shell Island Resort was disappointing based on other reviews. The renovations were minimal and surface level. The accommodations were small. The restaurant was closed so we had to leave the resort for every meal. $50 resort fee for 2 days. Chairs, umbrellas and beach towels are an extra fee. The positive was the amazing ocean front view. Overall the stay was ok. We were there for only 2 nights. I wouldn’t want to stay for a full week at this price for what you receive as a guest.

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.
