Wrightsville Beach is a vibrant, quaint little beach town located 20 minutes from historic Wilmington in North Carolina. It’s well known for its clean, active lifestyle, spacious beach and home to the NC Azalea Festival. Enjoy scenic walks, watersports, wellness activities, scenic water tours, or simply relax in the coastal gardens and parks.
This past weekend Melissa and I took a trip to Wrightsville Beach for the last of her birthday month celebration. Luckily, we ended up having beautiful warm weather so our planning for the end of the month worked out perfectly.
Our stay
We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites Wrightsville Beach which I booked through Booking.com and it made for a perfect stay. It was close to everything and well centralized with only 2 minutes to the beach!
The staff is personable, helpful and welcoming and the rooms are comfortable, spacious and clean with extra cleaning and disinfecting precautions.
I was a little hesitant in the beginning because of such great pricing which doesn’t always turn out to be the best but in this case, it actually turned out to be more than what we expected – From the cute, cozy lobby to luscious floral landscaping to the vibrant courtyard and pool to the comfy and spacious rooms – It was one of the best stays I’ve had in Wilmington.
We left Charlotte around 6:15 am with the intention of an early arrival so we could take advantage of the day and maximize our stay since we would be heading back on Sunday. It was a short one day trip but we made every moment count so it was well worth it.
We tried checking in around 10ish but since they sold out the night before, that wasn’t going to be possible. Instead, we headed to the beach for some vitamin Sea and sunshine-D to wait it out! 🙂
