Room was spotless and had everything we needed. Beautiful spot right on the beach. Rooms have a perfect beach view, quick direct access to the beach, great restaurants right next door and across the street, and an easy bike ride to most restaurants in wrightsville beach.

Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
Place was great. I would give 5 stars but AC wasn’t working. Luckily nights were cool so we left the balcony door open. To be fair, we didn’t say anything to the staff until we left but I would ask the staff before booking if this has been fixed. Otherwise, place was perfect
