The View is amazing!!!! Totally worth it! My only downside, The check in process could have been a lot quicker. It’s a nice cute oceanfront stay and has the sea chanty beach look and is very spacious. For those looking for super contemporary and clean looks, this might not be for you. But if you’re the kind of person that likes beach bungalow vibes, gorgeous views and a quiet beach, this is the hotel for you.

Come equipped with any essential, like a sponge or soap because they don't have that there. The advertised free coffee in the lobby but that did not exist. We also had to go ask for enough towels multiple times during our stay. The on-site restaurant was closed the entire time we were there because of occupancy. So that was a huge bummer given that was one reason we booked this one. My kids enjoyed the indoor pool and the easy Beach access. The price is good, and the parking is easy.

The room was in great condition and the staff was courteous. On the not so good side, I will mention lack of tea and facial tissue in the room. Also, free coffee was not provided in the lobby except when the restaurant was not working on Sundays and Mondays.

Each unit has a fabulous newly renovated and beautifully stocked and decorated one bedroom unit with kitchen, dining anrea and living room with large tv. The best part is that each unit anlso has ann ocean front view and balcony. The ocean is so close, you can hear the waves. There is easy access from the resort to the beach which is long, flat and wide, perfect for long walks along the shoreline. The resort offers beach chair rentals and umbrellas. There are two pools, one indoors and one outdoors which is heated. There is a casual cafe which is not always open, so don’t rely on dining there. This resort has come a long way and is promising to be one of the outstanding beach rentals in Wrightsville Beach.
