I really enjoyed my recent visit to the Sea Vista Motel. My king-sized bed was comfortable, the…read morehardwood floor was clean, and there was lots of space. My beachfront view was phenomenal and made for a relaxing visit. My only complaint is that dogs are allowed but only if their owner remains in the room with them. They are not allowed to remain in the room without a human and this changed some of my plans related to bringing my dog. (I wasn't able to do so.) Otherwise, the visit was nice and I may return if I have a dog sitter on hand.

Ocean is a short walk across the street. Restaurant right in front of you and lots of things close enough to walk to. The couple that owns it checked on us multiple times to make sure we were good. I do wish restaurant parking was in the lot in front of the motel since some evenings it was pouring down rain and we couldn't find a close spot to our room.

We rented unit #1109 to attend my nephew's wedding at the St. Regis resort. As soon as we walked…read morein we noticed the fans mounted on the walls, four in total, were all caked with dust that it looked like they have NEVER been cleaned. The unit is very dated and more importantly was not cleaned! The bed and pillows were stained, washer and dryer dirty and filled with lint. Main area rug was very dirty and looked like it never was replaced, hair on bathroom floor. We never were without shoes the entire time. Furniture dated, nicked and unmatched. There was dried milk on the back of one of the dining room chairs, never cleaned. We put a sheet on the couch to sit. Knobs on drawers were missing, countertops made of Formica falling apart, all the trim throughout the unit was nicked and peeling with rust marks. The balcony chairs were rust rotted. How much does it cost to buy a couple gallons of paint to fix up the place and update it every so often?? Bathroom had piles of hair in corners. Kitchen has very dated appliances, crack on microwave door. My wife and mother cleaned the whole place with sanitizing wipes. It took them hours to clean! Refrigerator inside needed cleaned. The glass doors were not cleaned at all! The couch on the patio was filthy, couldn't sit on it! The smoke detector is missing a cover, not sure if it worked light was red. Do the owners even care or know they have a disaster?! Pictures are obviously a bad representation of this place. I wanted to leave as soon as we arrived but we had nowhere else to go after driving 12 hours to get there. We had a wedding to attend the next day. Front desk and management team suggested that we got the dated room price. Didn't realize there were prices for dated rooms verses updated rooms. Ron, from One Luxury, was not very nice on the phone because we complained about the unit. He basically yelled at me telling me we'd get our money back if we left right now. Where do we go after a 12 hour drive with my 85 year old mom. Very disappointed of how he treated us. Please believe me, we are not people with high expectations! We just wanted a clean and nice place with updated furnishings that were clean. Never rent unit 1109, in building one. You will be highly disappointed!

A solid choice for a short getaway to Wrightsville beach directly on the beach with enough parking…read morefor all the guests. Very reasonable rates and a friendly staff. The units are one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchenette, small table, couch and small balcony. We have stayed here several times and have always been pleased. The units are clean, well maintained and functional. My only beef is the water pressure is low, and I recognize that is a minor issue. You should give them a try if you are headed to Wrightsville.

This Hotel is over rated and discriminant because of their location. Yes, the hotel has been…read moreupdated, however, they do not address complaints regarding house keeping, discriminant employee behaviors at check in or management/front desk behavior. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone seeking to book at Wrightsville Beach, NC. I stayed at this hotel for over a week in 2025. When I had a confirmed booking a week ago, however, I was within the rebooking cancellation range of time. I called the front office, to seek available dates for the time I was in NC and was willing to fill any dates available that the had while I am flexible. I had a confirmed booking the prior week, however, when I called totry and book a new reservation for a few days while in NC, the from desk person said that I was banned from booking due to noise from my previous booking I di online and stated noise complaints from a "service dog" in 2025. That is complete false lie. On my intial booking, I booked my stay and prior to checking in I brought my " service dog" certification to the front desk. A 4.5 Pount Yorkie who is CERTIFIED as a SERIVE DOG. Upon, checking in, the Manager, questioned this, and the first morning I was away from my Yorkie who is CERTFIED in Allergy/Sezuire Detection, the Manager called me and stated a noise complaint. The hotel was mostly empty, however, I addressed this immediatly and thereafter took my Yorkie with me on the beach each day therafter. During my stay, the GM David-? was very discriminant, and called me to let me know that my dog had barked a few times around 11:00 am while I had gone to the store. I immediatly returned and let him come to the room and investigate. I had changed my dog's food prior to my stay and he barked while i was away possibly due to the ingrediants of the new BLUE BUFFALLO food. There after, I took my 4.5 pound Yorkie to the beach with me each day. The GM or Mananger mentioned that it was the housekeeper who mentioned the noise. Housekeeping never even came to my room, however, when I called the front desk to get new sheets related to bugs on my pillowcases, the GM/Manager came to my room and I helped change the sheets after he inspected the house keepers work. When I check out of my room, I placed a THANK YOU card with a $100 tip for the guy General Manager/Manager hoping that he would accept my appreciation and change his judgement of the CHARACTER he ahd of me. Fast forward, I booked a room last week online for a 7 day stay, I had no problems when I called the front desk and spoke with 'Kathy", however when she had to look deeper at what was available today June/15th, 2026, she called me back and stated that I was BANNED as a customer to book any future stay. Probably, the Manager she consulted with while he was working remembered my lasy stay, Which was nothing to be affected to me staying there agian. Total discrimination because the Manager's decision from my previous stay. My room was completely impeccable when I check out of the hotel lasy year,I had no issues except that I needed sheets to replace and called the front dek to change myself. But because the Manager questioned my 'Service dog" he created a scenario/narrative against me. I do not think that their management will continue with this discrimination. I did nothing wrong and when asked about complaints, they have nothing to prove. This was an inside discrimination from the Manager. All of the employees except the Manager, Jeanie and Kathy were awesome. Kathy was awesome lat week when I needed to reschedule until she had to ask her "Manager" about dates available. I have been flexible and told the hotel that I would fill the dates that were open. Total discrimination from the Manager-David if that is his name.

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT…read more I so badly wish that I could leave a 5-star review for the Island Inn! We really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, room was clean, beds comfortable, and coffee maker hot. Unfortunately, after returning home from our great weekend trip I found that my credit card had been overcharged for the balance of the room ...by quite a lot. Thinking it was a simple mistake that could be fixed, I called right away on Monday morning and spoke to someone who took my info and said I would get a call back. She also advised me to email over my original booking receipt that showed my total. I did so. Over the next week I called and left messages two more times, emailed again, and reached out on social media. I got an immediate response on social media that someone would call me back as soon as possible. It has been days, and still nothing. I am absolutely baffled about why no one will talk to me about this overcharge. The real bummer is that we enjoyed our stay so much, we were already talking about returning next year. Now there is no way I would trust this company with my financial info ever again. Scrolling through reviews from the past few weeks, I can see I am not the only person this has happened to.

I read the reviews and saw that it was very clean, as traveling with small children who require lots of toys etc I opted for the convenience of location. Worst decision even though the amenities etc you still have to think about other patrons the motel attracts. I quickly learned how thin the walls were and so loud music playing all night , after being in the water and sun I got zero sleep. Everyone leaves at 11 and only option advised was to call the police. Originally gave this place 4 stars but now dropping it to 1 as no matter how much fun you have if you don't get any rest you question if it was even worth it. Next time I'll just stick to the wagon and pay for parking

Silver Gull is certainly the look and feel of a motel. Not nearly a four star stay but maybe a two…read moreor three star stay. The rooms with two beds are more like full size beds not queens. The balcony furniture is plastic and uncomfortable so we dragged out the room chairs which made balcony sitting way more comfortable. I do have to say the entire staff there are very nice and very courteous! Even having said that I would stay again because of the ocean views, at least our room, and the location to direct beach access. One note to make the parking is limited to only one vehicle per room and its tight. If you leave the hotel for dinner out in your car you very well may not get a space in the hotel and will have to pay to park your car overnight. I don't know why they just don't mark each parking space correlated to you room number because they do give you a car tag for your car at check in.???

The Cove Riverwalk Villas - Wilmington, NC…read more I stayed at The Cove Riverwalk Villas in January, right after the holidays, and it was the perfect post-holiday reset. The quiet along the Cape Fear River that time of year made it feel even more peaceful. My villa was absolutely spotless--everything felt fresh, and the living space was thoughtfully laid out. The design makes great use of the space, blending waterfront charm with modern comfort. Even in the winter, the setting is beautiful, with crisp mornings and soft sunsets over the water. It feels tucked away and serene, yet you're still just minutes from downtown Wilmington. If you're looking for a unique and relaxing waterfront stay--especially during the quieter winter months--this is a fantastic choice. I'd happily return.!
