"Perfect location! Just an easy 3-minute walk to the beach access. The house was incredibly well stocked with beach essentials (chairs, canopy, wagon, towels) as well as household items and everything the family chef could need in the kitchen. Top-tier cleanliness, too!There are plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby, and our host was extremely accommodating with our early arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning our family trip back for next year. Highly recommend!"

Top Carteret County Hotel Reviews

Islander Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Every thing was exceptional"

Compass by Margaritaville Beaufort

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Atmosphere and amenities were great. Room spacious and comfortable. 5 minute walk to downtown for restaurants and shopping. Waterfront views, but a lot of big boats in the marina that block water views. Will need to drive 10-20 minutes for beach access though."

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Staff was very helpful the view was great and ease to get to the beach was perfect! I dont like leaving bad reviews bc we all have bad days but we had 2 rooms and both had issues. Can't comment on the pool or hot tub bc it was down for maintenance looked like it would have been nice though. I'll just leave it as if you want a pretty view and access to the beach its perfect! Staff was friendly and helpful."

Beaufort Hotel NC

8/10 Good

"Our room was very well decorated -- more creative and tasteful than most hotel rooms. Our particular room did not smell good, though. Hopefully, it was an isolated problem. Room for improvement: I think they should include valet parking in the price of the room. Free parking is included, but it is down the street on the other side of the road from the hotel. As a customer, it would "feel" a whole lot better not to be caught off guard by that."

The Beacon

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. All the amenities one might need and having a kitchenette was helpful. I have mobility issues and everyone on the staff was incredibly helpful. There are a couple tips I would like to leave. For others with mobility issues, the trek to the beach was arduous. I found easy access to the beach on 3rd Street in Emerald Isle which is not far away. There’s parking, a ramp, and a very short walk with no steps. And for the owners of Beacon, I would suggest leaving instructions for the air conditioner/heater. I found the remote, but apparently I didn’t know how to set it. I think one of the staff finally set it for me, which was good. I would agree with what someone else wrote in their reviews that the curtains could be a little darker to block out light pollution at night. I didn’t know ahead of time they were pet friendly, but that’s a plus. Thank you all so much."
