Convenient & comfortable at Wrightsville Beach

Nice place to stay for a weekend trip to the beach. Super convenient to Sunday’s coffee bar and the Oceanic pier and restaurant. Clean, comfortable room. Staff was nice. I’d recommend you try it!

We have been using Surf Suites several times a year for many years. The facilities are a little tired and basic, but the rooms are clean and spacious, with a small kitchen and separate bedroom. Parking is also great. It is just a 1 minute walk from the Oceanic restaurant. Each room is decked out slightly differently...some have TVs where there is streaming access. Staff are always helpful. Location and beach access are hard to beat!

This hotel was perfect for our needs. Great beach and pool. A mile walk to stores/ shops but great coffee shop across the street and seafood restaurant next door. We loved the full kitchen. The doors to the bathroom and bedroom stick so very loud every time we opened a door. Also I think pool towels should be provided since ours from home were constantly too wet. Housekeeping and front desk staff both excellent. We would stay again.

There has been a fairly recent renovation and the room overall was nice, but there were no towel racks to hang towels up on. Pull out bed was dirty and uncomfortable. The filth underneath the pullout on floor was nasty. When we checked in, we did not have the option of choosing a room. This was the same problem online when booked through Expedia. Was informed *at check in* that IF we had called 24 hours in advance, they could’ve accommodated a room request for something other than the ground floor, where they put us despite vacancies on higher floors. This should be made apparent on their website AND Expedia. Beach VERY crowded on Saturday but other days ok. Oceanic restaurant is right next door. Food was excellent but service was terrible. Took 40 minutes to get just our drinks! Despite all the issues, I’d go back but call ahead to request room. Hopefully if manager sees this, they will do some deep cleaning and install towel bars. And be more transparent on website about room requests.
