I absolutely recommend this resort!! The day after...

I absolutely recommend this resort!! The day after our wedding we were set to leave for Europe for our honeymoon only to find out that my passport didn t have the necessary validity to get to our layover destination. After 8 hours of online research, I found Wrightsville beach and this resort. With not much time to really plan, we rented a car and drove from NY to NC. We checked in Monday night and were immediately satisfied with the experience. Our room was spacious, clean, beachy, and oceanfront with great air conditioning, a fridge, coffee, and a Keurig. We spent Tuesday at the beach. Ryan at the beach set us up with chairs and an umbrella - cost $30 but is reserved for you to come and go until 7pm! They make it spacious for you to feel completely in your own world. We ate lunch at the hotel restaurant where our waitress gifted us brownie, ice cream and fruit to celebrate our honeymoon. We walked across to the resort docks to smoke cigars. Captain Cameron came over and we thought he was going to tell us to leave but instead said our home is your home. Any thought of Europe left us completely. This was our honeymoon we were meant to have. We did a kayak tour with Kristen and she was the best. We saw dolphins and rainbow clouds! She was so friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone here gave us great recommendations. Historic downtown Wilmington was an amazing day trip! Southern hospitality is strong here. One of the shop owners gave us a magnet we went to buy for free! The love, abundance, and hospitality we have felt this week has truly filled our hearts with forever memories. We decided we will be coming here once a year. The resort is still being renovated from hurricane Florence but it didn t effect the grounds from being breathtaking. There are fancier looking resorts in the area but none have the waterfront activities and amenities that this place does. The smell of the pool, the sound of the ocean, the sunsets from the sound docks, the tropical music, the pristine gardens with rabbits constantly hopping around, the birds, pelicans, fish, yoga, hammocks, and the 24-7 staff working with smiles and friendliness makes this the perfect summer getaway. It s great for families during the weekend but the earlier part of the week was perfect for a quiet romantic time. This felt like home and we can t wait to finish our trip sailing the sound tonight and with a sunrise on the beach tomorrow morning. The local town has amazing coffee breakfast and surf shops too. Thank you blockade runner for showing us our island honeymoon doesn t need to go international. See you next year!
