We enjoyed our stay at this place. The staff was friendly, there’s a great coffee machine at the reception. The shower water pressure was low and the cleaning could be better.

The room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The balcony was a perfect little spot to experience the sound of the waves and see the ocean, while being at the room. The beach access was literally a two minute walk from room to water. This was the perfect getaway for me.

Wonderful! Silver Gull motel is truly right on the beach, parking provided, staff friendly, and ultra-spacious rooms. Newly renovated bathrooms, great showers, comfy bedding, balconies to watch the waves. Quiet and peaceful.

Have stayed here three times and Silver Gull never disappoints. No nonsense hotel as close to the beach one could stay without paying condo prices. If you don't bring your own food to cook, there's a small grocery store nearby. Best place to stay at Wrightsville Beach without all the pricey fluff of other places!

Clean rooms, friendly and accommodating staff(we left clothes hanging in the room on checkout), they called as soon as it was noticed and are mailing our belongings. The location is perfect, just steps to the beach. We will be returning!

The property is a little tired but very clean. The location is perfect, being on the beach and a 15 minute walk to a selection of bars and restaurants. The free onsite parking is also a bonus with the beachside location.

Cute little ocean front motel. I was attending a conference nearby at another oceanfront hotel and it was lovely to be able to walk along the beach each morning and evening as my “commute.”
