Top Carteret County Hotel Reviews

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I did not like that we had to pay to park. We found the shower small and very hard to keep the water in. However the view from the room was everything. The balcony was amazing. The staff was friendly and did I mention the view."

A Place at the Beach

8/10 Good

"The property is in a great location with lots of amenities, including 2 pools, a mini golf course, and activities like cornhole boards and athletic equipment you can borrow for lots of family fun. The wide beach offers plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sun and sand. The check-in process, compared to other similar properties, is a bit of a pain, especially in the off-season when office hours are limited. Communication was plentiful but contradictory. One email I got said keys could be left in a dropbox after hours, but property staff said I had to pick them up. Getting to the room was an adventure, as there is a single elevator in each building, at one end. So... if you're carrying a lot of stuff and are staying on the 3rd floor at the other end of the building, you've got a hike on your hands. That hike takes you down a dark, dreary, and dated corridor with zero signage as to which way you should go. It left a terrible first impression. Once inside, our unit was also pretty dated. There was a tear in the linoleum, an unfinished wall where there may once have been a pocket door, carpeting (a pet peeve of mine in a beach place), and the teeniest tiniest of balconies. Parking was fine, but I can't imagine that there is enough in the busy summer season. Overall, we liked it, but I wouldn't book there again unless they did a major rennovation."

Lighthouse Suites - Best Western Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The lighthouse stay was excellent. It was our anniversary and my wife and I had decided to stay for 2 nights. Upon arriving at the hotel we were greeted by a wonderful staff member at the front desk by the name of Dyan. She greeted us and checked us in and gave us information on what’s near by as well as the amenities at the hotel. When we went up to our room we were surprised at how they had decorated the bed which was set up with rose petals, ballon’s and small light up candles. The next day at the dinning room while we were having breakfast we were met by another staff member by the name of Diane who surprised us with a small cake that said Happy Anniversary. They even played music saying Happy Anniversary. My wife and I were so surprised at how the staff took time to make our day so special. We also got to meet the owner Jerry who took the time to congratulate us and converse while having breakfast. He was wonderful and funny. My wife and I enjoyed our time at the lighthouse and we would definitely go back. We also would recommend the lighthouse to our friends and family and anyone who is looking for a excellent place to stay."

Oceanfront 10 bdrm w/Pool/Elevator on The Point. Best Views on the Island!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location, great layout, and incredibly beautiful! We celebrated a wedding for my daughter with family. All the guests loved the home!Would like a couple of brooms to sweep up during and after. Also, I agree about the coffeemaker. Quite small for many guests. We made do!!!"
