Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
The location was excellent and the beach was beautiful. The restaurant food quality for breakfast was incredibly poor. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean except the coach had stains all over it. To be able to just wake up and view the sunrise from your balcony was 10 stars.

Saltwater Suites
The room was uber clean, and onsite staff was super helpful and friendly. This place was a definite great stay and I would recommend it to anyone looking for minimal interaction and a peaceful place to stay in Surf City. Beach was also like 20 feet away!!
