Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
Showers barely worked. Censures were down. Restaurant was not open the entire time we were there. Room was not what was showing in pictures. Check in staff was very rude. Location is ok but not walkable to anything. Nowhere to eat over the bridge as every restaurant only seats about 20 ppl.

Comfort Inn University
We stayed here for the first time. For the price, it deserves 4 to 5 stars. Nice staff. Overall clean. Parking lot safe. The hotel has a great position between Wrightsville Beach, USS North Carolina, and downtown. Easy to get to other beaches. Surely, I would come back.

Sea Colony by Carolina Retreats
It was an end unit, so it had beautiful views. Also had an elevator and a luggage cart, no walking stairs with all your things!!. Pool was great too! The unit was updated and very nicer decorated. I plan on staying here again!!

The Hive
A beautiful little, almost an, apartment! Comfy bed, bathroom amenities and lots of coffee pods :) An easy walk to many bars, restaurants, shops and attractions. I really enjoyed my stay!
