Top Shell Island Hotel Reviews

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"My only grouch is that they do not have coffee available until 8 AM unless you brew it in your room. And if you are like me, I don’t want the kids to wake up the noise of the coffee pot. There isn’t a close coffee spot unless you want to drive. The rooms are old, but we love the price so we can overlook a few things/ but not coffee!"

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This property was great. The property was very clean. There were outdoor games and a great outdoor pool. The property also came with beautiful ocean views. The staff was very friendly and they helpful and asked if you needed anything via text which I loved. There was also a nice area to relax indoors and a gift and snack area."
