''We stayed on one of the lower floors, and close to the elevator. The view of the surf is great even from the lower floors. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is tiny but certainly usable, the furniture well-kept. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. On the downside: The ''balcony'' is actually a tiny little strip of concrete barely big enough for 2 chairs, and the outside furniture was filthy. Being close to where the pool was turned out to be a drawback, because they sta...''

''Elijah's is not all it's cracked up to be. The food is okay, the service is sporadic (depending on ''mood'' of the hostess' and waitresses-abysmal!), and it is way overpriced. The only great thing is the location, but you can find better food at other waterfront restaurants in the area. Go somewhere else!...''

''By dar, the most difficult 3- night stay I have ever had in a hotel. Yes- the view and location are great, but they were simply not enough to compensate for the inconvenience of my stay. My room was dirty (dust, not vacuumed, dirty floor) until I had to call on the second day to have it cleaned or changed! While they did, that is not something anyone should expericence. The TV channels were mostly info-mercials. And while there is much to do out of your room, a good comercial-free movie to unwin...''

''My family and I recently vacationed at Wrightsville Beach and stayed at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. We stayed in an oceanfront room with a spectacular view. The weather has been delightful and we were able to enjoy sushi in the lobby lounge and feel the breeze from the picture windows that they always kept open. The staff was great which really provided for a wonderful stay at the beach....''

''My search is over. I finally found someone that can color my hair. Jaymie listened to me, made suggestions, and went to work. She gave me highlights that look natural, not cheesy. I love it and I love showing it off. Thank you Jaymie...''

''Fabulous views, great music on the pier (we went on Saturday night in August), delicious food, excellent value. No restaurant on the beach can compare to the experience...''

''Very good seafood and service. Our family has been there at least 6 times over the past frew years and they have been consistently good. A regular stop when we're in town. Popular in the summer months (a good sign I guess)....''

''The food was great and the owner and workers are very nice - definitely a downtown favorite....''

''I've only eaten at the Porters Neck location and do so at least once a week. Their cheesesteaks are my biggest weakness !!!!...''

''My son and his new wife spent their pre-honeymoon here and in their haste to reach their Honeymoon destination, left a very nice monetary gift behind. The staff picked it up and packed it away in their safe. They called immediately to tell us that it had been found. Extraordinary service! Extraordinary place!...''

''Lovely innkeepers, wonderful property, fabulous breakfast. Very peaceful even though it is great location downtown. Hard to beat!...''

''I had a very pleasant experience at Head To Toe Day Spa recently. The staff was very professional and very accommodating. They made me feel like a queen !! I encourage anyone to go and enjoy !...''

''the stylists are great! the atmosphere is laid back. its wonderful all around....''

''I enjoyed our stay. It was a clean room with a king size bed, somewhat private porch and an ocean view. What more can you ask for at the beach?...''

''I have been eating at the New Liverpool for years. The food and service is great!...''

''My husband and i were married five years ago and we used Danny's for our wedding cake. It was an incredible value and tasted wonderful. We brought it back for our anniversary and Danny re-frosted it with ''Happy Anniversary''. I was told by friends to buy another cake since a year old cake in the freezer wouldn't taste that great, but it was as good as i remembered from a year ago!...''

''My favorite is fried chicken. They make the best fried chicken in town !! And people who work there are very nice too...''

''Dr. Gerianne Pandalfi (aka Dr. P) and her staff have given our family the best in care that I have ever experienced. For many of us our pets are more than just pets to us, they are our friends, children, and confidaunts. Dr. P has taken the time with me to explain exactly what a dhlpp shot is and why my dogs should recieve this shot once a year, where as previous vets that I've delt with and even worked for have not taken the time with people to explain why it is so important to make sure all of...''

''This is one of the coolest bars I have ever been to... It over looks the Cape Fear bay from the top of the building -- great for 21-99 years old!...''

''After meeting with Robert, it is good to find someone that is so passionate about their profession. Robert has traveled the world to further his education and knowledge, it is very comforting that someone feels so strongly about making sure they can put their customers at ease. I feel very comfortable recommending him....''

''I walked into Fountaine Bridals, and had such a great time, not only because they offer everything from gowns, to mother-of-the-bride, to pretty much your whole party, but the staff was soooo nice and helpful. I didnt feel rushed or felt persueded to buy anything. They just let me look and htey didnt bother me until I asked for their help! It was nice not to have a staff breath down your neck until you felt guilty to try something on! I loved those 2 women are wonderful!- Thanks for letting me b...''

''They are the best in town! After many other chiropractors tried and failed, Back In Motion Chiropractic solved my back pains. I don't care what any one tells you they are the best in the business! After you visit the office you will love yourself afterwards.
I used to be in lots of pain from a car accident long ago, they took the X-rays and described exactly where I was feeling the pain without touching me and they were exactly right! All I have to say is they are a god send!...''
