Independent Shell Island hotels

"Great stay"

"We had an amazing stay at this beach hotel with our family! From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and super helpful. The location couldn’t be better — just steps away from the beach with beautiful ocean views right from our room. The rooms were clean, spacious, and perfect for a family stay. Our kid loved the pool and the beach access, and we appreciated the little touches like beach towels, complimentary breakfast, and nearby dining options that made everything easy. There were plenty of activities nearby, but honestly, we could have stayed on the property the whole time and been happy. It felt safe, relaxed, and family-friendly the entire time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free, memorable beach vacation with kids. We’ll definitely be back!"

"The hotel was amazing better than I thought!"

"Richard the cook from the breakfast buffet makes really good omelets. Go give him a try Great Place would come again. "

"Great!!!"

"We stayed one night. And perfect spot for our kids. They had a blast!"

"I've been staying at Days Inn in Panama City Beach since high school years, long before the internet...lol. This has always been a great property. Its seen several renovations since the 80's, but its always been great staying there. They have just gotten better. Most recent trip was awesome. I love how they've kept 'The Grotto' in their theme. Housekeeping is great, friendly smiles and very accommodating. The staff in all are great, always welcoming, its like going to a second home."

"Our check in/out was easy, friendly staff, very clean room, nice pool area, and had a great time at the Reef Bar and Grill. "

"I was charged from my deposit for towels I did not take. In fact I went to the front desk and picked up 4 more towels on my second day there. All the towels were left in the room. I called the front desk and they told me why I was charged $30. Anyone else experience this? "
