We stayed here during a recent trip to Atlantic Beach recently, and were very pleased with our entire stay. The outside of the building looks clean and nice, the front office is helpful, and there is plenty of parking. The rates were reasonable, as we got a king with an in-room jacuzzi for $110/night right after Memorial Day. The jacuzzi was big and relaxing, but took about 30 mins to fill up, so I would suggest just using the hotel hottub, which along with the pool were both nice. The rooms were great. Private balcony with great views of the ocean and a scenic fountain pool behind the hotel, good-sized in-room fridge, clean carpet, decent beds and bathrooms, and great AC. Room service came between 9 and 12, which was a little early, but they were good. No, it's not a 5-star resort, but if that's what you want, just go to the French Riviera instead of Carolina. C'mon... for what you need at the beach, this place was great, and I would definitely stay there if I come back to Atlantic Beach again.
(Caveat: They tell you after you make a reservation that you must be 25 or accompanied by a parent to stay. We weren't and it was never an issue, but don't think you can take your spring break party here or I'm guessing they will kick you out.)

Just got back from a couple of very relaxing days at the Windjammer. I only live about 45 minutes away and this hotel makes a great quick get-away for me. The prices, in the off-season, cannot be beat. I always find the staff to be very helpful and friendly.

If you're looking for a 5 star hotel, this may not be the place for you. BUT, if you're looking for a nice, oceanfront hotel, you should give it a try. I have read some of the reviews that relate the there needs to be some updating done. Anyone who has spent much time around the ocean knows that the constant salt air will erode things very quickly. The Windjammer is constantly trying to keep things in good repair. I'm sure it's a never-ending task.

My one regret about this hotel is that it doesn't have wi-fi. I spoke to the manager about it and he explained that they tried to do it but were advised by the consultant that, due to the concrete wall material, that reception would be somewhat less than satisfactory.

I hope to have a few more quick get-aways before the prices go up in the summer.

I stayed at the windjammer January of 2008 and was very pleased. It is an older hotel and the wall paper was peeling on one spot in room. However overall the room looked updated and clean. Excellent view from the fourth floor. I don't think I would book a second story room, the dunes might be in the way of the view...not sure though.

We were recently at Atlantic Beach for the Seafood Festival and stayed at the Windjammer Inn again. Once again we had a great time. We had a full oceanfront room for $100 per night which seemed to be about the best around because of the busy weekend. It appears they have done remodeling-new deck. This is now the place we stay when we are in Atlantic Beach
