Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed at Shell Island Resort several times and always enjoy it! It’s a little dated, but the beachfront location is fantastic, the rooms are spacious, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are always wonderful. The only disappointment this visit was the restaurant/bar. We visited twice during posted business hours. Both times, we felt we were treated as a nuisance. One evening, we were charged $10 for 2 cups of leftover, lukewarm coffee rather than being offered a fresh pot. The next evening, family members had a similarly unpleasant experience with the service, and my underage daughter ordered a mocktail that appeared to contain alcohol. We still love Shell Island and will definitely be back, but next time we’ll skip the restaurant and head somewhere else along the beach for drinks and dessert."

Courtyard by Marriott Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was great and the room we stayed in was clean, updated, and very roomy. I was a little annoyed at first because they had a company coming in to clean the carpets. They could do our room whenever they wanted so all belongings had to be off the floor. I was more worried about my belongings and who would be in and out of my room. Gotta say tho they did our room whenever we were gone during the day and you couldn’t even tell they were in there other than the fresh carpet smell. Carpet was dry and not a single thing was touched. We had a great stay."

Seven Seas Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and it fit our family of five well. The pullout couch was not as convenient because then there was no room to walk in the room, so my son just opted to sleep on the couch. But it was large enough for him to be able to do that just fine. It was very close to the beach and although we did not partake in the pool, it looked clean and well-maintained. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would change is that there was no microwave in the room. There was a mini fridge, but no microwave. I think there were other rooms that were more like suites that had a little bit more of a kitchen, but the room we stayed in was very simple."

Silver Gull Motel

8/10 Good

"Location: perfect on the beach next door to the pier. Parking: Is a little tight, but shouldn't have a problem. It's underneath the motel( covered). Staff: extremely helpful when checking in and explained everything quite nicely. Beach view: not sure if all roo.s are ocean view, but our room gave us a vibe of the beach and from outside I could see roo.s on the east end have an ocean view facing the beach. Also on the far east end there is a deck with chairs allowing you to kick back and soak in the view and sun."
