Shell Island Houseboat Rentals

"The bar was great my room overlooked the beach. I had to buy Clorox wipes to touch up the wall that was right by my bed, which had five black smudges and two things that looked like either boogers or mud. I feel like you should pressure wash the halls outside the rooms because people go in bare feet a lot and it’s kind of gross. But we really like this hotel. We always buy a broom to sweep the sand. Our bathroom was a little bit disappointing, but functional. There were hair ties on the floor from other people before us and the bathroom plugged did didn’t work well, and there was like stuff in the tub and one of the things was torn off that was supposed to hold body wash. All in all I think you’ve done pretty well with the place being that it’s so old but I just think a little TLC would make it cleaner and you should replace the missing chess pieces. They’re really cool. "

"When I checked in and asked what direction to go to my room 310, thinking it would be 3rd floor of the hotel. She said that my room was across the the street from the main hotel building that it was their "city view room". This was a 2 story run down hotel building. I would not have felt safe using the stove at all. It was dirty, the burners were all jacked up. The floors were dirty. They didn't clean under either of the beds, there was trash from whoever had the room before us and who knows maybe before them. I did ask if there were any other rooms available and she said they were booked due to Jazz Festival. I would not recommend staying in the "City View Rooms"."

"Checked in a little early for our one night stay and was able to add a late check out also. Beautiful property! Easy Beach access and great pool! We enjoyed our short stay!"

"Staff was exceptional. Friendly and very helpful. Rooms were beautiful were clean and view amazing. Coffee available and breakfast was great. Our four legged family member also loved her stay there. Will definitely be our go too when we come back."

"No frills but right on the beach and in a good location. We enjoy staying there."

"Beach view was the best"

"The parking across the property is very convenient; however, it would be helpful to include a note in the reservation indicating that it costs $20. The same applies to the beach tent service. The third-party provider delivered excellent, five-star service, but I believe it would be good practice to include the cost of this service in the reservation details. That way, guests can be fully prepared in advance."

"This property needs TLC"

"Although this hotel shows it's years a little, and the fact that it sits right on the ocean, the rooms and grounds are very well kept and clean. Each room has it's own kitchenette and ocean view balcony. For the price you couldn't beet the view or the one minute walk to be on the sand. We had family join us last minute and got a room for under $100 , so if you're ever contemplating a last minute trip to PCB I would try booking this resort. We very much enjoyed our stay."
