Top Carolina Beach Hotel Reviews

OCEAN FRONT! SUPER CLEAN - see reviews!!! w/PRIVATE boardwalk beach access!

10/10 Excellent

"Great access to the beach!"

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The buildings are definitely older but everything was clean and the staff were VERY helpful. I couldn't find my charger the first day there and my phone was at 1%, I went to the front desk to ask if they sold any and she said no sorry. Wait do you have an I phone? Here you can borrow mine. The menu at the on site restaurant was limited, but very good. The Tiki bar was a great place to sit and enjoy the view."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was perfect. The accessibility to the boardwalk and beach were what we needed for our family of 4. And the pool with the beach view was the best! Breakfast was great. Parking was very minimal but since you don’t really need to drive unless absolutely necessary we didn’t move the car for two days. The price is high in season and whether it is worth it depends on your own family and needs. But this hotel does have everything you need for a somewhat all inclusive stay in Carolina Beach."

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"directly on the ocean...we did not have a parking problem, but if they have a full house they have 18 spots and 26 rooms. so, beware. clean, crystal clear water in the pool. the outdoor fire pits were not functioning due to salt corrosion, per the front desk. about a mile walk to the boardwalk. nice fireworks show there every thurs. very close to the water. i would stay again."

Pet-Friendly _ First-Floor Oceanfront _ 2BR/2BA _ Private Beach Access

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on the beach within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Had a wonderful AC which normally you wouldn’t think is a big deal but there happened to be a heat wave and it made a huge difference on our enjoyment of the vacation."
