We decided to take a quick trip down to Wrightsville Beach on a whim on Sunday for the night. Since we didn't have a sitter for the dog we needed a pet friendly location near the beach, and this worked out great. Nice interior, friendly help at the front desk and close to the beach, although not walking distance. Overall... More

Overall a very nice place. Great location, good value, clean and beds were comfortable. Nice new flat screen TV on the wall. Make sure you request extra towels as they gave us two and we had 1 adult and two kids. Bathroom is nothing grand and do not expect the tons of soap bars or the luxry shampoo that you... More

the person who wrote dump, not sure you stayed at the waterway lodge most rooms have been remodled if you walk into a room and dont like it you need to request another room then not at the end of check out trying to get something free. Maybe you sould have gone to a beach where other people don't go.

We stayed at the Waterway Lodge April 6th weekend of 2013 and loved it. We had checked online for other hotels and this one had the best rates. We had stayed there two summers ago and love the proximity to some of our favorite restaurants. The room is the perfect size for a couple. It is all you need for... More

I cannot believe they're asking $600 a week or $1,000 a month for this old, run down place in need of renovations! I don't know what room the picture show's but it's not the one we stayed in. When you make reservations they glorify the place. Pool adjecent to busy roadway. Very noisy. Inadequate service, the kids at the front... More

We had previously stayed at this Lodge in a room and we truly loved it. We booked a one bedroom condo for our recent stay Thanksgiving week-end. The price was high but we were in town for a family reunion and we expected the rates to be higher on a holiday. The condo was a major disappointment. It was dirty,... More

Views of the sound and ocean are nice and easy walking distance to the best restaurants! The units are privately owned and all of them I have seen are neat tidy and well furnished including living rooms and... More

For the first time I found a hotel in the Wrightsville Beach area that is reasonably priced and meets all my needs! We stayed in room 402 and it was everything we could have wanted and more. The unit was quite, clean, and had an excellent view. Next time we take a trip to wrightsville there is no question where... More

Once again, had a wonderful vacation in Wilmington and staying at the Waterway Lodge! We have stayed here numerous times and always request either room 222, if we have our pets with us, or room 227. They both have amazing commodities and are very modern. Waterway Lodge is so convienent to the beach, intercoastal waterway, and amazing restaurants. The staff... More
