Top Carolina Beach State Park Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Front desk staff and housekeeper were friendly welcoming and very good in all respect"

The Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed my stay. Everything was close by"

The Starlite Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Living in the area for years I was very familiar with the property and now that I’ve moved out of state, when I come back to visit it is definitely going to be a spot I book again. The location cannot be beat, you are literally 200 yards from the ocean. Toni’s right in the middle of places to eat, hang out, and access the boardwalk. The staff is remote (but close) and were able to assist me when I had an issue with my door lock rapidly. Very nice, helpful, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in a long time. And the shower supplies smelled amazing."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was better than Hampton Inn, Myrtle Beach, comfortable pillows. And on a rainy day, they offered menu items for purchase so you didn’t have to go out in the torrential downpour. The tiki bar was very nice."
