8.4/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)
The staff was very friendly. Loved the views from the balcony. Love that everything is in walking distance and the boardwalk with access to the beach. The only thing disappointing about this stay was the cloudy weather blocking that beautiful sunrise.

Beach was gorgeous - nice white sand, clean, well kept. We ended up coming to this beach because Wrightsville beach had restrictions. We are SO THANKFUL we made the switch!
