Hotel in zona Shell Island, Wrightsville Beach

“Fantastic ocean beach view from the balcony! Could see Wilmington buildings a few miles to the South. Shell Island Resort is at the end of the beach road! Walk the beach 1.5 miles northward the the ocean "river" flowing into the salt water marsh...Amazing!”

“We loved the apartment above the office. It was roomy and had great amenities”

“All was great”

“No issues with air at all. Nice view to the ocean. One car per room so make sure to keep that in mind or pay to park other places. Room was clean and had a great time! ”

“Not worth the price. I stayed here plenty of times when it was Blockade Runner. Trailborn has doubled the price and I don’t really see the “upgrades” in the actual room. Shower is a regular tub combo and water pressure is non existent. Thought I’d give it a shot since you can’t beat walking out of your room straight to the beach. I’ve stayed in much nicer places for nowhere near the cost. At least give me a balcony. Nope. It’s clean and the beds are comfy. As soon as I pulled up, the concierge...

“Great location. Beautiful room. Easy access to the beach. ”

“It was excellent”

“Ive stayed at this hotel several times and will keep coming back. Our room was clean and the front desk staff were friendly and professional. The pool was undergoing repairs and so not usable. Also, i had to call the desk for toilet paper, as we had only half a roll and no extras. Breakfast choices were really good, including eggs, sausage, hash browns, waffles, fruit and yogurt. Good experience overall.”

“Horrible!!! Rooms was nasty!!!”

“Clean, small rooms, good snacks, free parking”

“We recently stayed at the Element Hotel in Wilmington, NC and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is beautiful with a modern design and stylish furnishings that create a clean, comfortable atmosphere. Our room was well-appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and the in-room kitchen was a great feature. Having filtered water available was also a nice bonus. The front desk staff was consistently friendly and welcoming, which made check-in and daily interactions enjoyable. There...

“Clean property, bed was lumpy and the comforter didn’t fit, and oddly shaped, I think it was designed for a smaller bed size. Breakfast had a Nice selection but poorly prepared, eggs were tasteless and very wet, oatmeal was soup”

“Hotel was fine, but is due for a renovation. Very dated. ”

“Excellent get away for me and my wife we will definitely be back again”

“Excellent location. We loved the convenience of check in once we understood that we needed to call. Every thing was seamless.”

“The check in is easy, staff is friendly, rooms are spacious and everything is clean. A very substantial breakfast - this will be my go-to hotel in Wilmington. ”

“Clean rooms, super friendly staff! ”

“I love staying here. The staff is always personable and I love the direct access to the beach and view. Hopefully next time they will have the additional elevator fixed because sometimes they wait for the elevator is a little long but they do have stairs available. The tropical is such a good restaurant. I will be back soon. This is the only place that I enjoy staying.”

“Very clean. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was good. Service was friendly. ”
