Sea Shell Ice Cream

Overall i would say the sea shell motel was fair. I read many many bad reviews and was super skeptical about our 4 night visit. My first impression when checking in, the staff was extremely nice. They were very kind when i asked for a parking pass because my mother was coming down for the day. They gave me a pass and i was pleased.
The room appeared clean, i brought my own sheets. The shower and toilet appeared clean as well. The shower knobs however had a green color inside them im assuming was mold. The room overall is extremely outdated. The bed was very uncomfortable but that doesnt really matter cause it was only a few nights. There wasnt much space to put our clothing.
I was happy with the tv stand that had a cabinet to lock underneath because a review i had read said there was 300 dollars worth of belongings stolen from them during their stay. So i was able to lock everything up when we werent in the room.
Room service was very lacked. They never came to bring new towels. Never changed out trash bag. After 1 day at the beach we had to deal with a sandy floor.
The day we left a group of people came to the hotel to stay 2 rooms down from us. They believe they found bed bugs in their room my boyfriend went and looked because we had an experience with bed bugs before and he said the bed looked pretty dirty. Thats what made us check under ours. We checked and it was dirty but didnt seem to look like bed bugs.
There was no smoke detector in our room. God for bid there was a fire we wouldnt know.
My over all opinion is this place needs to be redone top to bottom. All new furniture new bathrooms new everything except the pool. The pool was the cleanest part of this place. Its ashame because the staff was so nice. Other than the fact that the people 2 doors down decided to leave because they believed their room had bed bugs the guy at the desk handed the man a piece of tape and said «you get a bed bug on this piece of tape and ill give you your money back» so the police were called and thats how they got their money back.

First time I ever wasted ice cream! I had no idea a double scoop was so Massive!!! Boyfriend and I both ordered double scoops and barely finished half. I mean those scoops were bigger than our head. I felt terrible for having to throw the rest out but it was just SO MUCH ICE CREAM! There’s a great selection of flavors. I went with banana as that’s always my Favorite but I should have sampled first as the flavor was very artificial banana. If I go back, I will get a single and taste test!

We went here last night for ice cream and it was really good! We did have to wait outside in a line and there was a man directing to when we could go in (thinking he was the owner) Very nice guy to customers. I asked him while waiting if they had root beer floats so I didn’t waste my time waiting in line. He said yeah and they were the best with whipped cream on top. He was right, it was really good. Only thing was we waited in the store for 15 minutes because someone made my root beer float and left it on the counter. One of the employees realized and put it in a to go cup & added more ice cream. The owner came in to let them know there was a party of 12 coming in, while doing that he criticized an employee about how the ice cream in the case wasn’t right. Obviously busy and swarmed with customers the employee couldn’t get to it right away so he went back there and did it himself. I feel like he’s a little rough on them. Overall good ice cream.

I have never given a one star review before.
And to an ice cream place? Like really? Who would take the time to go online specifically after they put their child to bed to slam an ice cream parlor online? Who does that?
Me.
I am so upset by my experience at this ice cream shop, I am still fuming.
In general, once in a while, I go onto Unilocal to review (positively) places I have visited. I do this to bring a place up even more than it usually is rated. I just want to add to the positivity.
But this place? Hellllllll no!
This place was pretty unkempt. They don’t offer a huge selection but the topper? The disgusting, uncaring, rude employees.
I have NEVER in my entire life been treated so poorly. The absolute WORsT customer service. EVER. In my whole life.
I cannot believe I even stayed for this ice cream.
The ice cream is Jack and Jill. It was just ok.
Horrible experience!!!

They are closing up for the year and running out of flavors.
However, the sundae I ordered was the size of a football. And delish. I had the Brown Derby, vanilla and chocolate ice cream with hot fudge, homemade whip cream, crunchies, jimmies and a cherry on top. The portions are huge. My only complaint is that the flimsy styrofoam bowl doesn’t support all the heavy ice cream.
My husband orders a king cone with cookies and cream ice cream. Again, little cone, huge amount of ice cream.
People have complained about the prices. For the sundae and the cone, it was $ 11 bucks. I have to say, for the fact that it is homemade and the portions are huge, I think it’s a fair price. This isn’t carvel or Ben and Jerry’s and I don’t think you should expert those prices.

Last summer we were in Wildwood for the week of Labor Day and we discovered Sea Shell Ice Cream. We loved it so much that we returned several times that week. Couldn’t wait to return this year, only to find that this week they are depleting their inventory of flavors to prepare for the end of the season. What a huge disappointment!!! Only the least favorite flavors were available… pistachio, rum raisin, bing cherry, etc. What the heck? For one of the biggest vacation weekends of the year you deplete the inventory??? Not good business practice!!! We probably would’ve been to your shop every night this week, but instead, we will find a vendor who cares enough to serve ALL flavors til AFTER the holiday week!!!

Homemade ice cream tastes so good. I would give five stars but they were out of vanilla ice cream. Ice cream is very fresh and staff was friendly. They have tables inside and out.

I grew up coming here, and this was the first year I had to endure the horrible natured person at the door. Is this an ice cream parlor in a family friendly location… Or is this a night club?
Do yourselves a favor… Hire a friendly, inviting person as a greeter and ditch the raspy voiced thug, he is, and will drive paying customers away.
I will never return.

Been here a gazillions time and this place never fails. Been here when I was a kid and loved it. Now I bring my kids and they love it.

Gets crowded, but the service was quick and the sundaes are good. Plenty of outdoor seating helps. I’d head back when I’m in the area.

The host at this place is ridiculous! I’d rather use another word but my review would get erased. He acts like he is a bouncer at a night club. Hey bud it’s ice cream, get a life! If you want to wait for ice cream with out being treated poorly go to Duffers in Wildwood.
It’s sad because the ice cream here is good but it’s not worth dealing with this guy.

The ice cream was delicious and serving huge. I got the two scoop and could not finish in one sitting. I had the birthday cake and vanilla peanut butter. Both filled with creamy goodness. It’s s bit unorganized when you walk in as we couldn’t figure out where to get in line as there didn’t appear to be a line. Also the staff person that helped me was somewhat rude and both of these reasons are why I won’t give it 5 stars. I will go again and it was very good.

I don’t get why people love this place.
Walking in the door is jarring almost immediately. You either have to puzzle over the ordering process or this guy is barking commands about how to order. It’s completely confusing.
Example: I want one scoop and hot fudge. You can’t get that – you need to buy a sundae. And you have to order from a specific counter. You want one small scoop? Nope – you have to overpay a lot for one massive scoop.
The kids working there were nice enough, but couldn’t really be bothered to make suggestions.
The ice cream itself was good, but nothing to write home about. The overall cost-​to-​ice cream ratio was pretty good, but I should have to pay that much for just a little ice cream. If you are hungry for some solid ice cream and don’t mind jumping through some hoops, this place is fine.

So many varieties of ice cream and very affordable!!! So delicious… def a must visit while in wildwood!

I don’t know how many years we have been coming here but we always end up here for dessert after dinner. I can’t say much about the motel since we’ve never stayed here but the ice cream parlor is booming on any given night.
We like to sit inside for waitress service every time. It’s faster than standing on line.
As far as the ice cream goes, everything is amazingly good. Ice cream is smooth, creamy, decadent. Everyone usually digs in way too fast resulting in many severe cases of brain freeze but… live and learn. The sundaes are large and usually takes more than one person to finish so prepare to share. Unless you’re my youngest son who refuses to share and will just sit there and stuff it all.
Tonight is our last night and when the owner and waitresses say goodbye to us, we always respond with «see you next year!»

Through the years, this is the one place that I think of in the area that is a must visit.
Sundaes are gigantic and the ice cream is great, with many flavors. I know I should just get a scoop of ice cream or try two flavors, but if you’re seated inside, it’s tough to resist the sundaes. Consider sharing if you’re with someone you don’t mind crossing spoons with who has similar ice cream tastes!

Oh my what great ice cream! We have had dessert here the past three days and it was so good! We had chocolate shakes, peanut butter chocolate yogurt shakes, mint chip shakes and a sundae that was way too big to eat! The people were friendly. If you don’t like the line spend the money for waitress service and sit right away!!! If your in wildwood you should definitely great ice cream here!!!

When I went in, I felt like taking a risk and I got eggnog ice cream with chocolate jimmies. When I got it I noticed that the spoon was pretty small and the sizes ran large. I got a small and it was huge for a small. The ice cream tasted exactly like eggnog tastes and was delicious. There was a long line but they had someone outside directing the human traffic where to go. It was like shakes in the back and sundaes to the left and cones to the right. It was a really good place with a friendly wait staff.

Not as good as it used to be. Came here tonight for the first time in about 5 years. First of all, it seems like all the employees are not born in the U.S. and it’s hard to understand what they are saying. This also may create some comprehension problems on their end. I ordered a cup with chocolate peanut butter and vanilla to go. The vanilla was on top so I did not realize I didn’t get chocolate peanut butter I am pretty sure I got chocolate marshmallow which I am not too crazy about. As for the quality of the ice cream I would compare it to Friendly’s which is not one of my favorites. I would be very surprised if their ice cream is homemade due to the mediocre quality. I’ll stick with Cool Scoops in North Wildwood.

Summer is (finally) upon us.
Heaven in a scoop of Peanut Butter ‘n Chocolate Ice Cream. This sea shell ice cream heaven was over the over-​the-​top, and set the bar pretty high for the rest of Wildwood’s ice cream parlors.
Magically creamy and smooth milk chocolate ice cream, swirled with yummy chunks of thick peanut butter, and crunchy wafers.
There is good, there is better, and there is Sea Shell Ice Cream Parlor!
