Shell Key Preserve Vacation Rentals

"It's a wonderful hotel with a great view, excellent service, and comfortable rooms. The breakfast is incredible and varied—we loved it so much. My only complaint was the cleanliness; I found some hairs in the bathtub, which I suppose could happen, but I wish they were more thorough. The hotel was very crowded—I don't know if that was the reason—but it's just a minor issue."

"Everything was great including the location"

"We had not been here in a few years and had found the updates to the property were very nice. The room was much improved and better than expected as well as the pool area and Jimmy B's Beach Bar. We did hear the property was just bought so you never know what the future holds. "

"Good view of the ocean from our balcony…some construction being done on the new pool and bar but was not an issue The staff were excellent..our room was cleaned daily…the food was good and well prepared. The hotel and surrounding area was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed our stay "

"Modern property. Very walkable, lots to do in the neighborhood! The room itself could’ve been cleaner. I don’t expect a “white glove“ clean but the nightstand hadn’t been dusted in sometime. There is what looked like make-up on the light switch in the bathroom. Little things like that. Didn’t go to the pool, but it looked nice. Full kitchen, walked to the grocery store and was able to cook my meals."

"Pros: Excellent position on St Pete beach. Miles of beautiful white sand and warm water. Very low waves and shallow water so excellent for kids. Not at all crowded (May 6-May 13). Helpful staff. Cons: Pools were small so got crowded and sometimes hard to find a chair to sit in (lots of pools though). Parking is $25/day, but so are all the other hotels in the area. Chairs/Umbrellas on the beach were complimentary only for rows 2 and 3, but not first row (the kids working those were great btw). Delayed check out was $20/hour past 11:00am. These are nickel and dime'ing considering the cost of the hotel itself."

"The value you get with this property is amazing. It's quite basic as far as accomodations go, but it's truly a one stop shop. The location is super convenient. Pools, beach, great food drink and entertainment plus shops are all right there. We love it!"

"The water was barely hot. You couldn’t contact no one because the line was always busy and when u go to speak with front desk no one was ever there."
