Just returned from a 5 day trip. Loved every part of the hotel, but most especially the employees. They go out of their way to make sure that your trip is everything that it can be. We had a true balcony, oceanfront room and is well worth the upgrade. I would recommend that you ask for a room on the... More

Awesome time at the BR on our wedding night...check in and ride to airport was a breeze. We walked across the causeway for some live music and a great sunset. It was a great (but short- one night!) stay! Would recomend to anyone..... More

My husband and I stayed here one night in March. The lobby was under construction and the pool undergoing repairs, but otherwise the property was lovely. The landscaping and gardens are beautiful and the beach is wide. We had an oceanview room which was clean and bright. It was the first time we had seen tile floors in an hotel... More

This was our first time at the Blockade Runner--my husband and I stayed at the hotel for a long weekend in early May. Everything positive said by the other reviewer was true: nice, clean rooms; beautiful view; friendly, helpful staff; plentiful breakfast. One of the things that distinguished it was the beautiful grounds. It has a surprisingly large piece of... More

The Blockade Runner was definitely a 5 Star hotel back in the 60s and 70s. It has since been renovated inside but still has a long way to go. We had requested a room with a balcony facing the ocean on one of the higher floors & discovered the only rooms with balconies were in the older section of the... More

I was in town for the Carolina Cup Stand up Paddle Board Race and I can't say enough good things about the Blockade Runner Resort. The staff was incredibly helpful and nice and made the experience that much better. In fact, they even let us store our 14 ft race boards in a conference room. Now, as far as the... More

This was our second time staying here and it was sold out. The weekend featured the Carollina's Cup Paddleboard Race which drew the surfing crowd from Hawaii, Key West and even Australia. It was awesome watching right from our room and then later on the beach. There also was a wedding crowd, but the staff was able to handle the... More

I had the experience of staying at the Blockade Runner in Wrightville Beach, NC during this past weekend for my cousin's wedding. I traveled with my mom. And to sum it up, we were pretty happy. The most important thing you need to know is that the inside does NOT match the outside here. The outside is okay, but it's... More

I have stayed at the Blockade Runner 3-4 times over the past couple of years with my family. I am from NC and the Blockade Runner is kind of an institution here--not owned by a chain--a little quirky and not exactly perfect. And yes, the beach environment does a number on buildings, so if you are staying anywhere in coastal... More
