Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"We LOVE the location of this property and the pseudo-private beach access. It’s technically public, but at the very north end and most beach goers stay at the other access points. That being said, the room we were in needed some help. There was visible mold in the bathroom and soft spots on the walls by the tub. The showerhead was as cheap as you could go (think 30 year old motel level quality) but it did get the saltwater off us while rinsing. The kitchen sink needed caulk, the tv was not secured to the wall very well (and it was a poor quality TV). We semi-expect this though. We have been coming here for 7years now and keep returning for the location, included parking and views. If you intend to spend a lot of time in your room while vacationing on Wrightsville Beach consider other properties. If you are like us and really only sleep in the room but spend most of the vacation on the beach or out and about, then this is an excellent place to stay."
