This was an amazing experience. The room was extremely clean, comfortable beds, the decor was out of a magazine. The staff was helpful, the food and drinks at the restaurant were top notch. I would not change a thing! I look forward to visiting again!

WB is a great little beach town but pretty busy during the summer.

4/5 - Good

Wrightsville is very pretty but lacks restaurants on the actual beach area. Carolina Beach has a much better beachfront area

5/5 - Excellent

Tower 7 restaurant is right down the street and is delicious. We got up early to watch the sun rise through the glass door to the balcony. What better way to celebrate God’s creation than Watching from a soft sofa in the living room?
