Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites
"The room was clean and the view was great but the restaurant was only open 3 hours a day for a couple days. The resort is the last one at a dead end street and you have to go to town for anything to eat or drink. The restaurant staff was great though."

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
"The property is in a great location. It needs to be updated. Several of the bathrooms were out of order. I feel for the price the rooms should have been nicer and more updated. Also, you have to pay for parking."

Sea Colony by Carolina Retreats
"Condo was very nice and felt very welcoming. Only bad thing to say was that while my partner and I were sitting on the couch we noticed there were fleas and we got bit by a few of them. Otherwise the place was great and I still recommend it."
