Silver Gull is a charming smaller hotel that offered a really comfortable experience. The location was fantastic, with direct beach access. Our room had a side view overlooking the pier—traffic was steady but never disruptive. The room was surprisingly spacious and included a full kitchenette, which is a great perk for families or longer stays. We appreciated the free covered parking. There’s only one restaurant/bar close by, so you’ll need to walk a bit or drive for more dining options, but having a kitchen helps. While it’s not a luxury resort, it delivers a warm, relaxed stay in an unbeatable spot.

I had a refreshing view of the beach. Beach access was steps from the property door. Parking was close and safe, and off the street, but very tight. Not a lot of space to turn around. Staff members were so nice and accommodating. Room was clean ans spacious with a full sized fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink and cooktop with pots and pans. Would have been nice for a longer stay, be we were only there for a day. Would definitely stay there again. Great value for the price

The Silver Gull isn’t the newest or fanciest place at Wrightsville Beach but, it’s centrally located, very clean and better amenities than you might expect for the price. I.e. covered, free, parking and an elevator. This was a treat considering there are only three floors! The staff is very friendly and responsive to requests. MH, Raleigh, NC
