From the minute we checked in and Michelle greeted us, we knew we picked the right spot! Since it’s quiet season, they were able to upgrade our room to double balcony oceanfront. It felt like we were right over the beach! Very clean rooms and facilities. We were visiting my nephew who goes to school at DSC and the valet guys were so accommodating, allowing us to leave the car out front for a few hours here and there without charging us the parking fee. Sore isl shout out to Dom from valet. The pool area was great and we loved the tiki bar (shout out to Doug the bartender!) he even gave me a special drink for my bday!!! They give s’mores kits at night to use at the pool side fire pits too! When we come back to visit, we will definitely rebook at the Shores!!!
