Overall the property is nice. I wasn’t impressed at all how the pool and hot tub etc was maintained! The hot tub always had a lot of sand in it. The water condition in both the pool and hot tub was bad the whole time I was there.

We had a great visit - the grounds are really expansive, so there are many little pockets to relax, from the pool to beach, pool bar and corn hole/Adirondack chairs. The room was clean with good coffee. The daily destination fee covers towels, beach chairs and umbrella. The location is really great too.

We stayed at Trailborn Surf & Sound July 22-25th. Whilst our stay was very pleasant and no complaints, the property fell down in their billing and overcharging. The front desk were unable to provide the billing statement on departure, and then made 4 charges to our credit card - which did not add up to the amount on the statement once available. Trailborn did adjust three of the incorrect charges and debited the intended amount, but left one incorrect charge. The billing staff were initially responsive and said this 4th erroneous charge (smallest of all charges) would be refunded in 5-10 business days. This time elapsed and Trailborn became unresponsive - I had to go to my credit card to dispute the charge, which was refunded. Disappointing result.

Overpriced and Overrun with Flies

We’ve stayed in many places, and this hotel was definitely overpriced for the experience we had. The bathroom sink was clogged with hair that wasn’t ours, making it almost unusable. The outdoor area was poorly maintained, and the food was inedible because of the overwhelming number of flies and garbage nearby. Drinks took 15–20 minutes to arrive, even though the bar wasn’t busy. The pool area was dirty, with leftover food and bugs everywhere. Overall, very disappointing.

Fav spot in Wrightsville/Wilmington

Love this hotel! Beach chic renovations to a classic older property with the BEST beachfront access. Second time staying here and we booked again for Sept. Staff helpful and friendly, coffee and poolside cocktails delish and valets super helpful in a somewhat hectic parking lot. Can’t wait to come back.

The hotel was lovely. Unfortunately, there room had a strong odor. The hotel had maintenance spray a “deodorizer”, but it just added a strong floral smell into the mix. The hotel was at full capacity so we had to ask for a refund and move to another hotel.

Everything was wonderful. I really thought it was nice that they don’t charge for chairs, umbrellas, and even boogie boards for the kids down at the beach. We had a great stay.
