Easy parking and nice stay
We booked a one night stay. When parking was packed we easily got valet parking which was included in the $20 pass you have to buy. They also allow you to leave your car in the lot and use their beach access for free which was a huge perk.

Beds need updating. After a long travel you just want a comfortable place to lay your body. TV kept freezing. Those are my only recommendations. Staff is sweet and very helpful.

Great beach view from our room. Room was musty, you could see that the the ventilation filter hadn't been changed in ages. Bathroom had mold around the shower base, all you could get was warm water, accesories in the bathroom were rusted and the wallpaper was stained. They charge you $19 to use the motel parking lot and restaurant prices are beyond normal markups. If you want ice in your room they have to bring it to you which never arrived.

Anniversary stay at Blockade Runner
We've been to the Blockade Runner twice in the last year to celebrate a birthday and/or anniversary. I like that it's close walking distance to shops and restaurants, and not too far of a drive from more things to do in Wrightsville. The king room is spacious and has a great view of the ocean!
