The room was clean and the view was great but the restaurant was only open 3 hours a day for a couple days. The resort is the last one at a dead end street and you have to go to town for anything to eat or drink. The restaurant staff was great though.

Beautiful view. Outdated. Beds were clean. Had to find sheets in lobby for sofa bed. Air conditioner was frozen and not working, looked like the filter was years old. Curtains in bedroom would help because the outdoor light came through blinds and made the room too light. Throw out the area rug, it is dirty and gross.

Various parts of the building were under renewal construction but perhaps will be completed by summer. The room was fine for a single night but small for a longer stay. The property is located on the north end of the island which is less congested than further south. All in all, the resort was priced appropriately but shouldn’t be considered a high end resort.

This place was great. The ocean view, even from the 3rd floor, was fantastic. You can watch the sun rise from the sofa and watch it set from the hall/balcony. We stayed in unit 303 which had a full bath with shower/sink/toilet and a half bath with a toilet and a sink in a separate area which was neat. We ate out each night and didn't cook in the room, but it had a stove, a small fridge, a coffee maker (with coffee/filters) and a microwave. The place isn't brand new, but well kept. Probably only complaint is the mattresses needed updating (they have some miles on them), but that might drop the score to 9.5/10, if that. Give this place a go...you won't be disappointed. Also being at the north end of Wrightsville Beach (end of US 74), it seems like the traffic is a lot lighter than in the central part of the island which is nice. They also have a parking garage which was a nice touch on an island where parking is a premium. We'll be going back for sure.

The view is the best part of the stay. The staff was unpleasant. The room was last remodeled in 1994. Think thrifted furniture. Couch was stained. Lamps that were not plugged in or near a plug. Bed super comfy. Very no frills hotel with no real amenity worth the stay...

Staff was great and the room was clean, however- the bed was detached from the head board making it impossible to sleep, toilet paper was not only rough feeling like sandpaper, but also kept falling off the holder. The way the bedroom was set up you couldn’t even watch the tv at night.
