MurRun calls Sandpeddler Inn their favorite place to stay in Wrightsville. They say, "We have been visiting our favorite beach here for years. The Sandpeddler is small, intimate, clean, and is in the perfect location. Just steps away from beaches, surf shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and more. Even when the Inn is fully booked, it is so quiet and peaceful. The staff is kind and very accommodating. Such a special place."

History

The outdoor pool was also added. Each of the suites and condos at the Sandpddler Inn is individually owned. The property manager Stephen Lawryk worked from the property in 2000 and left to work on another property while it was rebuilt. He then decided to come back to the Sandpeddler and has been running it ever since.
