The condo is end of the road, so beach is not crowded at all times. The room was clean and big enough with a ocean view which was really great. The staff was very friendly and kind too. Why do you pay more than $200.00 for tiny room when instead, you can have a beautiful 1 bed room suite from Shell Island?

Room was Bad!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/07/09
Toliet backed up and poop everywhere!!!! Sheets smelled like urine...The room looked like it was decorated in the 70's. The only thing missing was a disco ball from the ceiling. Smelled like moth balls... They should pay you to stay there!!!
Shell Island is a very reasonably priced and comfortable condo hotel, located at the far north end of Wrightsville Beach. We enjoyed the wide and clean beach and the walk north up around the tip of the island at Mason's Inlet. Fun to watch the changes from high to low tide.
Our family of four was very comfortable in the one-bedroom, bath ...

Newly renovated hotel great 4 quick beach vacation
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/14/09
Booked room to take daughter and her roommate for some early-May, post-college beach time. Room had great view and laid out nicely with access to a half-bath. Renovations to hotel have made a huge improvemen from what may have been a dated interior; lobby and common rooms nicely done and contemporary. Staff was great. Experience very different ...
The hotel has great location, wonderful staff, but the water was AWEFUL. I dont know what the hotel can do but they need to either hound Wrightsville Beach Utilities to improve water quality or install a water treatment device. it was so bad when my wife was running a shower, the stinch permiated the entire place. I couldnt wait to get home and ...

Beach was great. The room was not!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/21/08
The room was not very good. The hideabed was over 20 years old and the spring mattress was terrible. My kids had to sleep on the floor. There was no marsh view from our room. Just the parking garage. Horns honking from 6 AM on. Unable to sleep in. The water had a funky smell. The room had not been updated in a long time. I was told the rooms are ...

Stay Away!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/08
This place was the most disgusting "hotel" I have ever stayed in. The rooms were sticky - the furniture, carpet, bed- all seemed to be covered in mysterious stains and a sticky glaze. The towels in the bathroom had what I can only hope were make-up stains on them. The tub backed up when we took a shower. If I didn't have to stay there ...
The service was great, BUT, for $400+ for two nights, the room didn't really warrant that. It was pretty much your basic quality room, not the "luxury" they describe online, just bigger.
The bathroom door didn't lock, toilet plumbing quality varied, the water had a very odd scent, the walls had scuffs/scratches, the room was ...
I suprised my boyfriend with a trip to Wrightsville Beach. We were scheduled to stay at another hotel but they gave our room away. So we ended up driving around for a few minutes before finding this hotel. It attracted us because it was at the end of the island. We went there to get our room. The price for the room was so much cheaper then the ...
When I called to make the reservation I asked if the hotel had Wi-Fi and was assured they did. When I arrived I found that there was no Wi-Fi in the room so I went to the desk. I was told that there was Wi-Fi in the lobby. Guess what, not there either. The desk clerk did give me a device that allowed me to get broadband in my room. The normal ...
