Great location and property was well kept.

Our only problem was the furniture...it was dated and cheap and the beds were too hard with no good pillows. BUT YES we would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay there again in the future.

Bad beds, great property.

The reason for only 3 stars was the beds. They were uncomfortable and we lost sleep due to the beds. Other than that the property was perfect! We love Silver Shells and we loved the room.

We are thrilled our guest found the property was perfect and loved Silver Shells. The mattresses are nearly brand new. However, we always appreciate feedback as we want our guests’ experience with Silver Shells St. Croix 902 to be the very best it can be. We plan to evaluate the mattresses and if necessary make changes. We certainly want the beds to be comfortable.

Great beach

Ocean view is incredible. Condo is well maintained. Enough paper supplies for our three day trip. Having the beach set up was a big plus as some other renters had to pay $100 per day. Nice large pool that is kept clean but the usual groups of smokers and people that “save” spots without actually showing up and nobody to enforce rules. The spa was nice. Underground parking a big plus to avoid the heat. Ocean and pool pool water both very warm. Having Ruth’s Chris steakhouse on site is a plus because dinner options in the area are limited

Condo was very nice to excellent!

The condo was exactly as pictured and represented. It was very clean and had an excellent view. The beds were very comfortable and the unit was well supplied with dishes, utensils, etc. Check in , late check in, was excellent. The property, however, was not yet up to summer standards, flower plantings, etc. The tennis courts, pickle ball courts needed work. The work out area was acceptable but not excellent. The owners are , I am sure, paying a substantial HOA fee and should receive better back side maintenance for their money. Everything beach side was great!

Hi, Greg! Thank you for your review, and for sharing your feedback with us. The sports courts and workout area are very recently under new management through the HOA, and are in the process of being upgraded and updated, which we are very excited about! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the beautiful views otherwise, and we hope to have you back! Thank you for choosing Compass Resorts. Have a wonderful day!

This property was the best one we have stayed at ever.

We loved Silver Shells and our condo St Croix 902. The condo was super clean with everything we needed. Beds were comfy, loved the big bathrooms and showers and the view was great. Everyone that we talked to as far as the people at the Compass office to the on site staff were amazing. They were so friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. We were right in the middle of everything we needed and it was very convenient having a Walmart across the street. The grounds around the building and the beach were kept spotless. The pool was extremely large and never felt crowded. The walk to the beach was short and it was so nice having our section of beach private. Very family friendly. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely stay here again.

Breathtaking views

Overall Silver Shells was an excellent resort with tons of cool things to do. The condo was great with fantastic views. The only thing I recommend an update within condo is the electronics (tv). Obviously we are there for beach but we got rained in some and also a cold front came in but would definitely go back.
