Hurricane Update
The resort fared extremely well during hurricanes Helene and Milton. The storm surge was light, and the minimal damage was confined to landscaping and a few other outdoor areas. No rooms suffered water damage.
That said, in advance of both hurricanes, the contractors were forced to leave the island temporarily. They have since returned and restarted the final stages of the renovation, but the pauses delayed the reopening a bit.
Vacatia and the board will continue to track the contractors’ progress to ensure the resort welcomes you back as soon as possible, but until they have completed their work and left the site, we can’t provide a firm reopening date.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can reach out to Board President Frank Catanese at frankcatanese1@gmail.com.
Thank you for your patience. We’ll provide another update in the next few weeks.

Hurricane Update
Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene caused damage throughout the southeastern U.S., Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida’s west coast on October 9. If you live in this major storm’s path, we hope you and your loved ones are safe. Our thoughts are with you.
In the days leading up to the storm, we closely monitored the situation and worked with our on-site contractors to lock down Shell and minimize any further damage to the construction site.
It is likely that we will be able to access the resort in the next few days. Once we do, we will assess the situation and report back to you. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please call Vacatia’s Owner Services team at 855-859-6983. You can also reach out to Board President Frank Catanese at frankcatanese1@gmail.com.
Please rest assured that Vacatia and the Shell board will address any recent hurricane-related impact to the property. Thank you and stay safe.
