Top Wrightsville Beach Hotel Reviews

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"This property is located in the best spot in Wrightsville Beach and every room offers ocean views. I loved watching the sunrise and will stay here again for that alone. Our room was dated and didn’t even have a Smart TV, the bathroom needing updating but was clearly recently cleaned. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Parking was plentiful but you do not want to bring a big SUV as the ceilings are exceptionally short. Because of rain we did not get to enjoy the pool and the one time we tried the hot tub, they were out of towels. A decent stay at a fantastic location."

Seaside Solace: Panoramic Views! Oceanfront Condo, King Bed, Pool, Tennis,Cabana

8/10 Good

"Overall, the condo was nice, the view fabulous, the kitchen top notch. The windows facing the Holiday Inn could use some shades, I did not like looking into the hotel's rooms. The carpet in the master bedroom could use a good cleaning or better yet, replaced. The sinks in the master bath are pretty to look at, but when washing in them, the water is splashed everywhere. The shower head in the master bath doesn't work very well. Paint was peeling from the ceiling in the bathroom. The base boards could use some touch-up paint. At night, we could hear a lot of walking back and forth in the condo above us. The trash chute would not open, we had to go downstairs each time to dump the trash."

Silver Gull Motel

8/10 Good

"It was right on the beach so easy access for walking, fishing and surfing if that’s your thing. Very friendly staff."

The Sundance Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"The Sundance Cottage through Mira-Mar/VRBO was everything you want or need at Beach time! From the beautifully updated “old school” vibe (with matching accommodations available next door for special family times), to the many wonderful amenities like towels (even beach towels!), bed linens, paper towels, kitchen gadgets & trash bags … I mean I will not be over packing the next time I come! ..(And I’m definitely coming back for more of that relaxing & healing atmosphere!) We’ve been saying for two days, now that we are back home, “I wish we were still at the SUNDANCE in Wrightsville Beach NC!” Can’t wait to do it again, & again! Thank you guys so very much! It was Awesome!!"

Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely love this property. It’s a cool spot, with direct beach access, but the game changing factor is the people. The staff are friendly, professional, and just all around top class."

Top Floor Suite of classic 1940's Beach Cottage with porch & partial ocean view.

10/10 Excellent

"My family was in town for a family reunion. The Pink House was the perfect place for us! Centrally located to all of our activities, quick walk to beach, everything we needed for our stay. Well appointed kitchen, too. Thank you for quick responses to our questions! We will be back again!"

Wrightsville Beach Cottage with Stunning Sunset Views, Steps From the Water

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed out stay here! It is walking distance to many great restaurants and the beach! The house had plenty of space for us to spread out. The host was very responsive. We would definitely stay again!"

Popular townhome in heart of Wrightsville Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed in this unit at least 6 times. I think that speaks for itself. Location to beach access is great. It is comfortable and has everything we need for a fun week. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. We tend to drive rather than walk to most places we frequent. Host always responds quickly to questions or concerns."

Nestled between the BEACH & BANKS CHANNEL- walk to PIER, RESTAURANTS & GROCERY!

8/10 Good

"The property was very clean and well maintained. It is spacious and feels like a littel beach cottage on the inside. Loved the outdoor area in the rear, and the rocking chairs, tree swing and hammock in the front. A very relaxing and serene property. Easy parking an easy access to the beach"
