Shell Island Pet-friendly Vacations

I was pretty disappointed with this place. The cleanliness was terrible for the price that you’re paying. The room smelled musty, there was trash under the bathroom counter, the pool had multiple, used band aids around it. Nothing was accessible unless you use the tram. Considering that they specifically charge you resort and cleaning fees ON TOP of what you’re already paying, basic cleanliness wasn’t too much to ask for.

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.

Room was spacious updated and clean. Beach club pool and restaurant and the beach experience were amazing!

Fantastic Resort, Beautiful Location, pricey at $700-800/ Night. Staff is exceptional. Attention to detail impressive Restaurant FOOW is just average food, mediocre service / beachfront/ stunning location Beach chairs at $100/ day is excessive. We will stay again

The only real major complaint we had was the children / teenagers at the "Adults Only" pool. There was no enforcement by hotel staff and when this was a deciding factor for choosing this resort, it was very annoying. The beach access from the main hotel is quite a hike (across the resort, across the road, and then down the boardwalk to the beach. Food was excellent at the hotel restaurants. Alcohol was very over priced! But all in all it is a nice getaway. If you have a passport, do an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean where you aren't paying $18 per mixed drink.

I love the pool with a grill available. And the room is really neat with the kitchenette
