Perfect little family get a away
We had a great stay at Silver Gull. Location is absolutely perfect. The balcony had an ocean view and you are just steps from the beach. The coffee is lobby was delicious! Parking is free and right under the hotel which was really nice. Rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. I love the beach access from the hotel, esp when you have little ones.. it makes it way easier to enjoy the beach. Cant beat the sunrises and sunsets right from the hotel - Thanks for a great stay Silver Gull!

We Shall Return again and again.
We have stayed here before and it’s very convenient if you’d like Johnny Mercer Pier and good fishing. Nice large room and friendly assistant.

Great little find right on the beach. Staff was amazing…let us check in early and stay a bit later. Private walkway right to the beach. Minutes from shopping and restaurants.

Paying for pier proximity
Overall, the unit was dated. The kitchenette appliances seemed at least 10 yrs old and had rust on them. The room itself was a decent size and could have fit a sofa for added confort. The bathroom seemed like they were trying to update to make it more modern but use of cheap printed ceramic tiles made it look cheap. Mold stains in the grout lines made it feel dirty. The proximity to the pier and the pillows on the bed were the highlights. 2nd floor hallway reeked of fish 24/7. Also, they only have 26 parking spots for 32 rooms. So when booked to capacity, 4 patrons have to riskbtickets on the street. Family had been going here off and on for 50 yrs, not worth $250 a night so we will most likely not be going back. You are paying for proximity tonthe pier. Caters to fisherman. Owner could update and make the place great again worthy of $250 a night, even $350-400 a night.

Check in was the worst part of the visit. The room was dirty but met the bad expectations after the awful check in. First impression was a very rude staff and then absent throughout the visit. I will not stay again. Made the first trip to NC beaches a bad experience. Sucks!!

Loved it!
Very good family friendly place to stay. It's right on the beach with a beautiful view and has covered parking which is also nice so you don't have to pay to park on the street. Housekeeping daily brings you clean towels and takes the trash. Will clean up your room as well if you want. Super awesome location. Would definitely come back. Great for families that want to fish as well because it's right beside the fishing pier. Not a roach in sight. Very clean room and bathroom.

great spot - obviously no pool or much in the way of amenities but its right on the beach and has its own parking. Very clean and friendly staff. If you come, pulling a large pickup into the ramp can be a pain but otherwise it was a reasonable price to be right on the beach at peak season. Pier is right there as well.
