Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
This property is very good. The building is a little dated but very clean. The beach was a very short walking distance. The staff was very helpful on suggesting places to eat and things to do. In the condo I rented there were no beach accessories, so please check just in case you dont want to bring ...

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Staff was great and views with ocean facing balcony were amazing. Only negative was the room could have been cleaner. Hard water has been rough on the shower fixtures. Other than that, I’d definitely return.
