#3 of 3 hotels in Wrightsville Beach by Axel's take. Wrightsville Beach is #3 of 6 places to stay in Wilmington. The best hotels in Wrightsville Beach, ranked · Where to stay in Wilmington
Axel's take: 8.1/10
A strong beachfront pick, with refreshed rooms but fees and uneven polish. a renovated 4-star beachfront resort with soundside access, scored for what it is.
Trailborn Surf & Sound is a renovated 4-star beach resort in Wrightsville Beach, formerly the Blockade Runner. It’s a strong pick for travelers who want beach days with boating options across the road on the sound. The 2025 makeover brought fresh coastal styling, and recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise comfortable beds, clean rooms, landscaped grounds and friendly staff. The waterfront setting is the strongest reason to choose it.
The renovation hasn’t erased every older-building weakness: recurring reports mention noisy air-conditioning, sound carrying between rooms and occasional maintenance or service lapses. There’s also a daily resort fee, separate parking charges, and additional charges for beach chairs and umbrellas—the hotel’s current policy explicitly excludes them from the resort fee. We’d skip it if you expect seamless luxury service or an all-inclusive beach setup.
-
Best for: couples wanting a beachfront getaway; families who enjoy resort activities; beach and boating enthusiasts
-
Watch out for: resort fee, parking and beach-equipment charges; room noise and loud air-conditioning; occasional service and maintenance lapses
-
Location: Direct Atlantic beach access, with soundside waterfront across Waynick Boulevard.
-
Rooms: Refreshed styling and comfortable beds; older-building noise persists, and not every oceanfront room has a balcony.
-
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across recent guest reviews, despite occasional housekeeping oversights.
-
Service: Usually friendly and accommodating, but follow-through and dining speed can be uneven.
-
Amenities: Outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, gym, restaurants and waterfront activities; some activities cost extra.
-
Fees and surprises: Daily resort fee plus paid parking; beach chairs and umbrellas cost extra, and pets are not allowed.
