Loved this venue. Delicious breakfast, great custom cocktails, wonderful appetizers and dinners, but it was the staff that impressed us most.

Impressive Staff

They have a great variety of choices. If you are looking for impeccable hospitality, tasty food and great ambience this is the place to go when you visit Wrightsville Beach.

The Place to Go

Beautiful atmosphere and outside dining enjoyed with the crashing waves and salty air of the beach. This is a destination for a wonderful lunch to write home about. 

Compliments to the Chef

Executive Chef Jessica Cabo serves a well-edited menu, with nightly specials that vary based on seasonal ingredients and the day’s catch.  

Wayward Blog

For me, it’s a great place to take people because there is a variety of options, such as seafood, burgers, vegan and gluten-free.

Charlotte Observer

Blockade Runner is a gorgeous resort with views of both the ocean and the sound, stunning landscaping, and a delicious onsite restaurant EAST.  The rooms have glorious views and the grounds are breathtaking with extravagant landscaping and a refreshing pool.

What an awesome breakfast stop this morning. Wish I lived closer to try everything on the menu. The omelet I had was great. Great staff as well.

Great Breakfast

The views cannot be any more wonderful and the grounds are some of the most beautiful on the East Coast. For us there is no better place to stay but here when we come to Wrightsville. 


Our Stay in Wrightsville Beach

The staff was fantastic, the accommodations were great and we did not want for anything. The restaurant staff made you feel so welcome and we loved the access to the beach. 

Amazing Beach Vacation

From the moment we walked in we had a great experience! Beautiful facility. Gorgeous rooms. Spotless everywhere. The setting is the best I've ever experience at the beach. 

A Breath of Fresh Air

We have never seen a resort with such a personality and so many activities within walking distance. The service and the rooms were outstanding and the kitchen and food delicious.
