We took a somewhat last minute trip to the beach and Silver Gull seemed like the only worthwhile place to stay that wasn't charging an arm and a leg for an off-season weekend. We stayed in one of the renovated rooms, the bathroom was spotless! Beds are small but for a weekend trip it was no problem. We were really... More

We found the Silver Gull by accident but ended up having a great time in Wrightsville! The motel is in a great location right on the beach. We had an excellent view and a great porch to hang out on. Beds are not very comfortable but for the price and location we would stay there again if it was the... More

This motel is my favorite, and I have stayed in luxury places all over the globe. What I value in a motel is cleaniness/a friendly and helpful proprietor (Allan McDonald) and being right on the beach at Johnnie Mercer Pier where I spent many many years of vacation on the wooden pier before it was replaced after a hurricane.

In this older motel, my renovated room was clean and spacious, with a view of the ocean, and the off-season price was very reasonable. In addition to the now standard coffee maker, there were a small stove top and a refrigerator, with ice down the hall, dishes and utensils, including a frying pan, and dish detergent. Possibly because it was... More

After reading the reviews I made my reservaion at the Silver Gull. I have lengthy stay so I had a back up reservation in town in case this didn't work out. I was pleasantly suprised. Yes, it is an older Motel, but my room is great. Very Clean, it is on the side of the building but has a view... More

I noticed the friendliness of this motel's staff when I called to check their rates. Being nice to their customers is a priority, as it continued throughout my experience with the Silver Gull Motel. RATES: I waited until the rates dropped, which was after Labor Day. Price-wise, I was very pleased with what I paid for. Being oceanfront, you will... More

Our group was on its way home and selected this motel as we had never been in this area before. This was a typical older beach motel. Rooms were clean but needed updating or repainting. There didn't seem much to do in the area without using a car. Probably would not go back due to the price and might try... More

I found the Silver Gull quite by accident a few years ago and I have been coming to stay here ever since. The beautiful ocean is your back door and you can hear the waves slapping against the shore as a cool breeze circulates around your room. The ocean can be seen from every balcony and it makes you forget... More
