It is on the quiet north end of Wrightsville Beach with friendly staff and beautiful views from your room and balcony. It is nothing fancy but perfect for what it is. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6a9cc2b3-0869-4b68-90c6-ef517c34e637-1762710627415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/438ca7ed-5a6b-4856-9e90-edaaaf297069-1762710627168.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Micheala Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Calvin 26 Oct 2025 Beach front view was incredible ##### Calvin Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view from room and balcony was amazing ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ceab4246-90b0-4ffc-83a9-4a827a3dc116-1761519170176.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2239986-6ce6-4c2e-96fd-27258511e3e2-1761519171650.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carl Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JoAnn 10 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Nice room, great ocean views, comfortable bed.

I would give this more stars if the room was cheaper. The view is spectacular but a clean room is a must for me. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie 6 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a spacious room and the one of the most comfortable beds ever.
