Stayed here for a weekend in early March 2013.

Nice location: at the very end of the homes & development on the north end of Wrightsville Beach. Short drive or even a bike ride (2.5 miles to restaurants, bars on 'the island.' Drive of about 10 mins to get to many more restaurants & all of that stuff 'off the island.'

Staff here are very friendly, and professional.

Hotel is actually condo units owned by individual owners. All units are oceanfront, all units have a two-person balcony facing the Atlantic.

The building has a worn aspect to it, but everything works & it is kept clean. Ground floor units are walk-out but are below the dune line & thus have no view of the ocean. The higher you go, the better the view.

Beach is wide & very clean. Dunes between beach & hotel. Good surf spot just up the beach to the north of the hotel. Surf City for smaller waves is about 25 minutes drive. The south side of WB pier for bigger waves is about 5 minutes drive.

The parking people aggressively ticket cars whose owners haven't paid the meter. I witnessed a ticket writer nailing cars at 730am one Sunday morning.

Restaurant here is basic. Bar is basic. Food is bland. You can do better elsewhere: Sweet & Savory, Tower 7, Neptune's, others. If yu want the chain restaurants like Carraba's & the fast food chains, you'll need to drive 'off island' 10 minutes to get your fix.

The units all have small refrigerators & a good-sized kitchenette, furnished with dishes, pots 'n pans, cutlery , glasses.

I recommend this place. It's basic, not fancy, but it's the superb location that is what you are paying for.

My husband, son and myself visited in February 2013. Upon arrival we were told BOTH elevators were out of service, however there was a service elevator at the end of the hall around the corner. My husband is in a wheelchair so the elevator was necessary. The service elevator was in a little room that was slightly difficult to navigate in a wheelchair but after a few turns he was able to get into the elevator. We were given a room on the 5th floor at the opposite end of the hotel from the only working elevator. It was off season and few guests yet we were given this far away room with a view of the parking deck on one side. When I requested something closer to the elevator or ground floor, we were told that because we had to have handicapped accessible, this was our only option. My husband is a quadriplegic so it was necessary. The handicapped room was not so accessible, only a grab bar or two and very dated. Housekeeping came the second day and put towels in and tied up a bag of trash and left it in our trash can. A bag of chex mix had spilled the night before and wasn't vacuumed nor was coffee supply refilled. This was our second bad experience and our last. While the location/view is beautiful, this hotel is not a great place to stay and is in need of management!!

We visited again in January 2013 on strength of weather forecast to be sunny and in 70s--in January! Off-season, we almost had the hotel to ourselves. We used to live closer to Wrightsville beach. Now five hours away in Williamsburg VA, but it was worth the trip!
Very friendly and efficient staff from front desk, to maid service, to Shannon who runs the North End Bistro on site. The beach in front of the resort is the best we've seen in North Carolina--white, soft, beautiful sand. Slope of the beach into the ocean is very gradual and friendly to children bathers.
Altogether this was a wonderful getaway for my wife and me. We'll be back again and again!

When reading the reviews for this property, I was a little concerned...I knew WHERE we wanted to go and had stayed at another property which I did NOT want to revisit...We traveled in the off season, and the most important thing to us was a clean, nice place with a comfortable balcony...and we found it. The condo was nicely furnished, a seperate bedroom and living room and the bath had two rooms! One w/ shower and toilet and sink and the other w/ toilet and sink. The kithen w/ small but adequate for vacation get away...Our balcony was TOPS...just what we wanted and needed...They offer two different grades of rooms, we took the regular since the balcony is where we mainly stayed. Best sunrise ever and the breakfast was included for off season and was fabulous...We will return. Staff went out of their way to assist us.
