If you want to be in the center of things at Wrightsville Beach, the Summer Sands is worth a look. Just a block from the main cross-roads, you are walking distance to all the action. Right next door are town-favorite eateries (The Trolley Stop, South Beach Grill and Kohl’s Frozen Custard) and you won’t need your car. One more block... More

I've stayed at this hotel a few times before (for work in Wilmington) in the Fall season because it is very well priced and the layout of the room is great. The sleeping room is separated from the den and kitchen by a hallway, but not a door. There is a pull-down cot in the den that would require some... More

Loved the layout of our suite. Walked in to the bedroom, the kitchen and living room spaces were at the other end of the hall with a balcony with a harbor view (you can also get an obstructed ocean view). Really easy walk to the beach and we enjoyed watching the boats in the harbor. One thing to keep in... More

The room was very clean with new carpets and a fresh paint job. The staff responded quickly to any concerns we expressed. If you're looking for a clean one bedroom suite with a great view of the harbor and a short walk to the beach, the Summer Sands is terrific!

For a last minute surf trip, this place served us well. Perfect location to all the bars and restaurants in Wrightsville Beach, and a block from the beach. Room had free WiFi, 2 flat screen tv's, central air, balcony above the pool. At $235/night in mid summer, it was a reasonable deal. I would stay here again.

After reading reviews about Summer Sands and talking to Laura (the manager), I was pretty certain this was a good bet. After visiting, I'm thrilled to have a new go-to beach spot. The rooms look like they do on the Web site. You enter from the open-air hallway into the bedrooms. They all have been upgraded to King beds so... More

If you care a lot about how nice your room is and don't care at all about public areas (lobbies, dining halls, exercise rooms etc.) then Summer Sands might be for you. The room we had was great. It was much larger than average hotel rooms with a huge closet, two big beds (one pull down), a balcony and a... More

The decor and cleanliness, and the arrangement of furnishings was considerably better than the average beach accommodation. One suggestion: be sure of which side your room is on if you want to see the bayside. I thought that was where I would be, but I was on the other side, that has a fairly obstructed view of the ocean. The... More

This hotel charged my account for what they say was a no show, which in fact I had cancelled the week before. They did not send email confirmations for either the reservation or the cancellation. We are presently in dispute with this unreputable business and want to warn others of their unprofessional and sloppy business practices.
