Shell Island Pet-friendly Vacations

This was a very nice apartment for rent.”The Landing” is a company who rents apartments from a complex and furnishes the apartments to rent out for one night or for a month or more. Everything was spot on! Some places you rent for short term, they ask you to wash your bedding etc before leaving. None of that! It’s a very quiet community, dog park, pool. However, you cannot get help from the apartment complex with your codes etc. It’s a sublet apartment. Codes and wifi you must contact “The Landing” and not Expedia or the “Arcadia apartment office” When you check in to the Landing online, they will take you through everything. Thankfully I did screenshot each page I checked because I was never able to access their app that they ask you to download and use. You need to save the key code for the front door that you are given. Save it because everytime you need to go in the building, you must use. Then you will have a code for your apartment door. The door has a “smart door lock”. We had never seen one of these. We were totally stumped at first. They don’t explain it. It’s an all black door knob and all you need to do is touch the knob and it will light up with white numbers like a clock and you punch in the code to the apartment. You do need to turn the deadbolt away from the door jam to unlock. When you leave, make sure you deadbolt the door.

This was our first time staying at The Pearl. It was beautiful, clean and relaxing. The staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful. We had great access to the beach that was less than a 5 minute walk.

The door was broken.

Everything was great!

The view was exactly what we expected, and the hotel had a parking garage so our car didn’t heat up before each outing. I didn’t even realize there was a parking garage until we got there. Pleasantly surprised! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Great beautiful place !

The chairs at the beach are not included and we had to pay a lot extra and it was a real dampener on our trip. 60 bucks for two chairs and an umbrella for a few hours. Like really? We flew, we couldn't bring beach things and relied in the hotel for this. While everything else was wonderful this was a bit jarring. Oh well, the pool was cleaner than the ocean anyway!

Great breakfast and great beach access

Absolutely beautiful. Will definitely stay here again

Found plenty shopping site close enough to walk and beach easy to get to.
