"Overall the unit was great and would stay again. It was clean, the decor was nice and the screened in balcony with the beautiful panoramic view was the best part. The unit had just about everything you needed to enjoy time with family at the beach or inside the unit. There were a couple minor things that need improvement like the drain in the master shower and there were issues with the smoke alarm going off. The pull out couch bed was so much more comfortable than typical metal frame ones. We loved our stay as a family!

"We have been to this unit before and have booked it for next year, before I start I have to say that the staff and service at Select Vacation are the best, super service and can’t be more helpful. However, considering how long the unit was closed for refurb after hurricane Ian we were disappointed that the interior was virtually unchanged, the furnishings were the old ones and getting tired, couldn’t even see any new paint. The bed linen in the main bedroom was shabby and had a blood stain on the undersheet, tired and very unFlorida appearance, shame , but still the best view from any of the other units. Would be nice if a little more had been spent to improve the interior. Again can’t praise the Select staff enough

Hi Stuart and Julie, Thank you so much for your continued loyalty and for already booking again for next year—it truly means the world to us. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our team. Providing attentive, helpful service is something we take great pride in, and your recognition is incredibly appreciated. That said, we’re genuinely sorry to hear the interior of the unit did not meet your expectations following the refurbishment. Your feedback about the furnishings and bed linen is important to us. Your note about the view being the best is a reminder of what makes this unit special. Thank you again for your honesty and thoughtful insight—we're always striving to make each stay better than the last, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year with an improved experience.

"The condo was clean and well equipped and the location was ideal for us, with gorgeous views of the Gulf and beach. Renting bikes from Billy's gave us easy access to most of the island. There are signs everywhere of ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricanes Ian, Milton and Helene, but there were plenty of restaurants and shops open and we enjoyed visiting them.

Perfect first time vacation at Shell Island Beach Club

Review Date: August 27, 2019

Vacation Date: August 3, 2019

"We had a fabulous stay at Shell Island Beach Club, mainly due to the amazing condo, it was beautiful. The panoramic view was superb- beautiful at any time of the day or evening no matter what the weather. The condo was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, everything was to a high standard even the beach chairs that were provided. The location was very near to the pool and beach and there were bbq grills available for guests to use. The only slight downside is the lack of an elevator and with the apartment being on the top floor, if you had mobility difficulties this would be a challenge, particularly if you had luggage to carry up the stairs. It was fine for us and would not put us off staying again but it is worth noting - the lack of elevator was made clear at time of booking. All in all I would say that this is a perfect holiday rental and well managed by Select Vacation Rentals - Nadia was particularly helpful.

Shell Island 5D

Vacation Date: July 27, 2019

"This condo is lovely. We definitely recommend it. Select Vacation Properties is very professional and provide excellent service. This is our 4th year at Shell Island, but our first year in 5D. We plan to return again next year. Just a few items need upgrading such as bathroom and kitchen towels, kitchen knives, the coffee pots, and bed sheets. The ceiling fans all need to be serviced, as they make a lot of noise when they are set on the faster speeds. The door to the commode area of the master bath needs repair - it doesn't close, and the vent fan in the commode area doesn't work. The washer and dryer work great. These are minor things that we understand can lose quality over the busy rental season; however, they're the little things that make a week-long stay much more enjoyable for the cost of the rental. We love the location of the rental property. The view of the ocean is fabulous. An elevator would be helpful, especially for more elderly vacationers. Getting luggage and groceries up 3 flights of stairs is difficult. We highly recommend Doc Ford's for lunch or dinner. Traders is a wonderful place for dinner, as well. Cip's is fabulous, although we didn't make it there this year, opting instead for Traditions. The food here was excellent. On the Friday night we were there, they had a piano player and a sax player playing light "elevator" music. It took us back to the vacation resorts of the 50's and 60's, but don't let that worry you. It was a very enjoyable evening even for our 19 year old daughter.

"Remodeled and well done. Pretty colors and the closest to the boardwalk coming back from the beach and to the pool. Equipped with beach chairs, a cooler, beach towels and an umbrella. So save weight in your suitcase if flying ;)
The umbrella was broken however the beach was nice and windy so we were ok.
The bed broke upon our arrival but the handyman came quickly to fix the issue. I believe this was mainly done by prior guest shoving suitcases underneath the bed repeatedly and breaking the foot joints.
Fans can be changed or renewed, they were pretty loud. Dishes were put away dirty so we had cleaned them as we took them out to use them. Overall though-it was a nice stay.

Two packages of laundry detergent and 4 packs of dishwasher detergent. However, you’re only allowed to leave the maids two loads of laundry on checkout?? No spices just salt and pepper.

"Shel Island 5D provided a great vacation condo for my family of 5. You can't beat the east end location and the pool at Shell Island is one of the best around. The beds were comfortable. If you're a foodie like me and enjoy cooking, the kitchen is likely to disappoint. While it was satisfactory, the knives were all dull and the layout was clumsy with a small food prep area and a poorly located garbage can.

"This condo was amazing! You can tell it was recently updated, so everything is new, clean, and tastefully decorated. The condo was just a short walk to the beach with the pool in between. We stayed here with our 3 kids and they all enjoyed their stay. The main office rents bikes, umbrellas, and beach chairs. The pool had lots of toys for them to play with. There were not many beach items in the condo itself (2 chairs, a small umbrella, and 2 beach towels) but enough to get us started. The condo is well equipped with kitchen essentials like pots, pans, new dishes, and a coffee pot (there are plenty of filters so you shouldn't need to purchase those). The very best part of the condo was the screened in porch with the best ocean view! There were mosquitos when we were there, but we were able to enjoy the view because of the screened in porch. I wouldn't want to stay somewhere without that feature. The water was great during our stay with loads of sand dollars in the ocean and lots of shells, but not so many we had to wear shoes. You do have to pick your keys up and return in a different location, but it wasn't that big of a hassle (although it would be nice to have the ability to just leave the keys there at check out instead of driving them the other direction from the airport, but again, not a big deal. The customer service with the rental company was outstanding during the rental process, we thankfully did not need to contact them with any issues during our stay.

"Select Vacation Properties does a great job, have rented from them many times. Courteous, professional and knowledgeable about the property. Two issues that could be improved - one is the delivery of the keys for the unit. Our unit is on east end of the island and we are required to drive about 10 or 15 minutes each way on arrival to the rental office dealing with island traffic to get the keys to the unit. Would be much preferred if they can have the keys on site at the property for us upon arrival. Same goes for returning the keys on departure. Second issue is that the unit is rented by Select Vacation but managed on site by Shell Island Beach Club, whose people, one in particular, is difficult to deal with and has an attitude. Important to stress this is NOT a Select Vacation person (they are all great) but still takes away from the experience.

"A great gulf view was our number one criteria for a vacation condo and this unit did not disappoint! Calm-inducing sounds and scenery could be seen while getting ready in the master bath or preparing breakfast in the kitchen. It was obvious that this unit was recently remodeled and it was done very well with modern decor and upscale furnishings. We had all of dishes and other kitchen accessories we needed as well as plenty of towels and washcloths. Accessing the complimentary bikes and beach towels at the property office was very easy and the staff there was super-friendly. The stairs were not a problem but for some, it may be an issue that there is no elevator to this top floor unit. I would not recommend it for anyone that has any issue with stairs at all.
We're pretty picky about how clean a place is and I was pleasantly surprised by how well-cleaned it was. It felt like it was brand new. Select Vacations was easy to book through - accommodating to our schedule and had a great after-hours key pick-up and drop-off. We would happily rent through Select again and happily rent this unit again!

The soaps provided were of the 1950s motel variety. (We did a Publix run) the cookware was dilapidated & the lack of cereal bowls irritating. The view was spectacular! When we had a storm, there was no way to get the water off the balcony. Bummer for half the week. I hope the furnishings can be updated and the dishes & cookware can be brought up to the level of the nice countertops. The location levels any complaints. Beautiful views, loved the saltwater pool, great staff at property & at Select. Thank you for your gracious hospitality!

"Had a wonderful time in Sannibel. Beautiful island.loved the use of the bicycles at the condo. Suggestions for the property- have more storage ,ie,dresser in the smaller bedroom,more hanger for the closet. Felt there was very limited places to place clothing especially in the smaller bedroom. Beautiful facilities,pool,hot tub,and beach access. All in all a good experience.

"The condo is located close to the beach and pool, and has beautiful ocean views. We had a wonderful family vacation with our 3 kids. The pool is large, and has steps along an entire side, which were great for our youngest to play on. The pool never seemed crowded, and there is plenty of seating. The beach path is well maintained, and the shelling was wonderful as expected. The grills are nearby, and we used them for dinner every night of our stay.
One of the best ice cream spots on the island is within walking distance too!

"We love Shell Island Beach Club. The pool is great for small children with its wide steps entry. It is great being so close to the lighthouse. Happily, we spent a lot of time at the pool & beach and in Unit 5C with other family members. The limited seating on the lanai (2 chairs) is inconvenient, although the view is so lovely. We appreciated the beach umbrella & sand toys in the guest closet.
