Truly the easiest weekend getaway! Super easy access to the beach. Although it’s in Wrightsville, it’s on the Figure 8 island side so it’s much quieter! Love love!

The room wasn't the cleanest. I found a dirty napkin under the nightstand in our bedroom and the floors looked like they had not been mopped and were sticky. The location was amazing and the staff were friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend.

The location of the resort is spectacular. Being on the end of the island like that and right between two water views is just so stunning. I was sad to the see that that building and amenities are showing their age a little. The beds were comfortable though, and I had a great vacation.

We are regulars here, we very much like the location. We normally arrive early and get a parking pass while our room gets ready. The staff is great, they are very accommodating and helpful. Cannot beat the location. All suites on the beach with a very large private beach. I say private because the resort sits on the end of Wrightsville island. The resort in undergoing renovations, the update is needed in some rooms. You can’t go wrong here. We will continue to return.
