Room was small, but very clean! Our dog loved the patio as did my wife & I. We had coffee every morning (provided by hotel staff). Beach was literally 5 min walk from hotel.
Loved our stay and will come again!!

The room was nice and clean. a few things were not completely correct. there was no pool on the property and was advertised when i booked as having a pool and around 6am one morning in one of the rooms by us sounded as if they were moving furniture around. which was very loud.

First, the good: cute place and near the beach. The unit itself is great for what it is. It’s just an old building. So if you are ok w loud noises, this place is great just be sure you get an upstairs unit.
The bad: we were on the first floor and the people above us both nights were stomping and super loud and we slept terribly both nights. I feel bad writing this cause it’s not the properties fault but we did submit a complaint, and the people above us were still super loud. You can hear every step and they were stomping till 2 AM. It was pretty annoying.

The amenities and property left.m a lot to be desired. Although a historic property it still needed to be renovated for space and amenities. The self serve rooms were a nice touch but our room was not as advertised.

I like the property but if you’re someone who needs quiet to sleep you may have some trouble. I loved the convenience and it’s very quaint and thoughtful. The water pressure is incredible to get sand and shells off.
I love an ice cold window unit just be aware it’s at the top of your head so you want to keep a decorative pillow on the bed to block a bit of air on your head. It feels great.
Cute vintage microwave and fridge/freezer.
The bed is a 6/10 and needs a new mattress but for what I paid it’s no big deal.
Entry with a code is so easy. Everywhere should do this.
They also have a cute Keurig setup and cold water dispenser.
It’s a quick two blocks walking to the beach and boardwalk and the free parking can’t be beat. Go to Celtic for ice cream and Crush and Grind for coffee and the speakeasy vibe upstairs for a craft cocktail.

Our stay was just okay. The rooms need a deep cleaning. The bedding sheets were old so I wasn’t comfortable sleeping at all. And I wasn’t happy with the 10pm noise curfew. We paid too much money not to be able talk past 10pm. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location. We had a family emergency at the beginning of our stay and the Carolina Beach Inn was very nice and worked with us to minimize the impact to our finances. They were able to refund us some of our stay. I will definitely come back this season and stay at the Carolina Beach Inn again. Thank you for what you did Carolina Beach Inn!
