Great location
"This is a great ocean front location if you like to walk to places. We would walk up to 1.5 miles one way and that covers a big area at WB. With the property in town center, it's key to maintain Guest Only Access to the building and amenities. I would definitely stay 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?
