Festival was a washout but made best of it and enjoyed our time together at this Resort.
Pros:

We were there for the Swansboro Mullet festival and wanted to be near ocean. This location was close by and perfect for us.

Cons:

Beds could have been more comfortable but were tolerable for a 2 night stay.

Pros:

Extremely nice and helpful staff. Perfect location in accordance to beach access and amazing restaurants.

Cons:

Pictures looked way more updated than what our room looked like. Lighting in the bathroom with very dull. Bathroom was dirty upon arrival. Very loud atmosphere no matter the time of day/night.

We have come here to stay every September for a few years and will come back next year!
Pros:

I love that it is right on the beach. Our room was nice.

Cons:

The only thing we didn't like was how bright it was in the room at night. The outside light is very bright, even with the shades down. And all the lights on the phone, microwave, etc.

Pros:

Great location staff was wonderful

Cons:

Doors stuck a lot, but that's probably due to the humidity. And unfortunately, I found a cockroach in my curtains of my room.
