Not sure I would stay at this property again
The location is great for food and the beach. The condo is very spacious. The front door lock literally looked like someone had tried breaking into the place. There was what looked like dried blood on the sheets in a bedroom on the main floor. The toilet paper holder in one bathroom was hanging off the wall. One of the decorative pillows on the couch had brown stuff all over it (very unclean) The dryer left black lines on all of our clothes, I do NOT recommend drying your clothes there.

Penthouse view
We loved the Penthouse views! Nice views of the ocean and the surrounding area. We used the balconies every morning and evening to drink coffee, eat breakfast, and play games. The penthouse also had a private parking spot in the parking garage which was nice since we had 2 small children. The apartment tower had its own small swimming pool and hot tub which we used once. We had it all to ourselves. The main pool area was very nice with lots of space and was kept very clean. The walk to the beach was not that far. We enjoyed the beach and swimming pools everyday! Our family had a wonderful trip and enjoyed making special memories together!

Nice unit, good location but below average management.
Unit have have a good ocean view, clean place. Easy to access to beach about 5minutes walking. Things in kitchen are cheap, still let a broken trash bin used and a few no big deal damaged such as a sliding door latch was broken, toilet paper holder almost fallen off from wall, wall corner chipped off etc…. Telling me this local Vacasa didn’t taken care of the unit for homeowner.

Moldy Unit. A/c Was broke one night
The Unit was exactly as advertised but was very dirty. Mold growing from the closet vent upstairs. Carpet was stained. Very little communication on info on how to get to room or parking areas from VACASA. A/C unit was broke upstairs. They did fix it quickly and the property manager was very responsive, however maintenance man declined it was mold in the vent when you clearly could see it was mold. They did refund a portion of our stay which is why I gave 2 stars. Great location just needs some maintenance and better employees.

Family vacation
This penthouse was perfect for a multifamily vacation. It was super clean, beautiful beach views in all the bedrooms, VERY spacious inside and on balconies! We enjoyed cooking as family in the kitchen. We would DEFINITELY rent here a million times again. 5 stars isn’t enough. Truly vacation staying here.

Home on the Beach
Silver Shells was a great condo resort for a family trip. Great parking for 2 cars, easy to get to your room and less than 4 min walk to the beach with a giant pool for when you need a break. This property had everything we needed with plenty of room for 8 adults/teenagers.

My check in email sent me to the property instead of the vacasa office. The security guard at the property was able to give me accurate instructions. i didn’t receive proper instructions from the vacasa staff. Vacasa was the property management for vrbo. the unit itself was clean, in a great location and perfect for my family trip

Penthouse Life
We did a couples' trip. It was perfect as everyone had at least a queen bed and their own bathroom, and balcony access to gorgeous views. As an introvert, I loved that my partner and I had the king suite upstairs. I was able to get away from the others and sleep or recharge. The beds were fairly comfortable. Not like my bed at home, but better than other rentals I've had. The location was good. Across the street from Wal-Mart, so we could easily get things we needed. Close to several restaurants too. Oh! And we could walk to the beach! The check-in process was not the best. We didn't realize we had to go to the Vacasa office off site. Fortunately it was just 5 minutes away. But once checked in, we asked for an additional key fob and it wasn't an issue. Overall, it was a good experience. We would go back.

Great place to stay
This is a wonderful place to stay. Only reason I would not give 5 stars is that the beds were very uncomfortable and the shower in one of the bathrooms came out like a very hard stream. Plenty of room for 6 friends. Beautiful views from every where in the unit. We were given only three fobs for 6 people. You need a fob to get in and out of every place on the premises. The management company was only going to give us two. They should give one per person. We would definitely stay here again

Penthouse with beautiful view!
The condo looked exactly like the pictures. My grandchildren said it was the best vacation place ever! The bedroom layout offered privacy for each guest. Master bedroom suite is huge! Some advertising we received showed on-site exercise facility, indoor pool, basketball but when we went to check it out, we were told they haven’t had it for 2 years. Apparently there was a facility in another location but we were looking forward to having those amenities at our condo complex. It was a mild disappointment but we still had a fantastic time! We plan to book it again!

We had an awesome time at the Silver Shells St Lucia penthouse! The property actually looks better than the pictures. This is a great location as it has a lot of amenities. Pools, hot tubs, beach, and a great place to get snacks and drinks at the beach! The views from the balconies are awesome. Close drive to the downtown Harbour too! Great resort! We will stay here again.
