Blockade runner5/17/2023 We ate two meals at EAST Oceanfront Dining, the main restaurant at Blockade Runner Resort. Guests got to go onboard the Carolina Runner boat and sail to the beach where they disembarked for a guided tour of nesting birds before coming back to the Blockade Runner. They just weren’t offered during the time we were there.įor instance, the Audubon Bird Tour is a free tour highlighting seabirds that nest on the Southside of Wrightsville Beach. There were a variety of educational activities that I saw that sounded intriguing. What I loved best is that part of the outdoor pool comes indoors in the fitness center, so you can enjoy an indoor pool for exercise. There were a few fire pits and lounge chair pods right by the main exit, as well as a larger fire pit with lots of seating at the edge of the resort. The pool was extremely popular and always full of kids and adults!Īt night, there were fire pits in multiple areas. Hammocks and lounge chairs are dotted across the property to rest and relax. The oversized seating inside is big enough to comfortably lounge on and can accommodate more than one guest. The large wicker seats/beds that are set up around the resort were so much fun! These were really great places to feel like you were hidden from the world yet enjoying views of the ocean with sea breezes on the air. From morning to night, kids and families would be in the grass either playing, running around or simply relaxing. This was one of the most popular areas at the resort. To have this much open, green space by the beach is a rarity in today’s age. One of the best amenities for me was the expansive green lawn that is located between the hotel rooms and the ocean. One of the reasons that I love the Blockade Runner Beach Resort so much is that the property has so many different ways to enjoy being by the beach and spending time outdoors.Įven if you don’t lounge in a beach chair in the sand all day, you can still have fun in the sea air without feeling like you are missing anything. So there was a 1-2 inch gap of being able to see inside the bathroom. But this particular door was cut smaller than the door opening. They allow way too many gaps with light and especially sounds getting out, and that’s not really cool in a bathroom setting. I hate pocket doors for bathrooms in general. There was one thing I definitely didn’t like, and that was the pocket door to the bathroom that didn’t completely cover the opening. It’s always nice to have a refrigerator available to store drinks and foods, so we did appreciate that amenity. We found the room to be very clean and quite comfortable. Peeking inside rooms on our floor, I could see that they had a different color scheme than ours. You can choose between either ocean view or harbor view, but you are guaranteed a waterfront view regardless of the price point you choose. What I truly appreciate about Blockade Runner Beach Resort is that every room has a water view. When you want to enjoy the ocean view, put the shade up while you are getting ready. For complete privacy, just pull down the shade. The bathroom has a window looking out towards the ocean.
