Top Carolina Beach State Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"Close to boardwalk"

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

10/10 Excellent

"she had good communication with us and check in and meeting her was great.we only neededa night but definitely could have stayed longer very comfortably."

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the hotel and enjoyed our 9 night stay. Beach chairs rentals are very expensive. $45 for 2 chair and umbrella per day. My car rental was cheaper. I was tempted to go buy my own and leave them behind."

The Sandcastle is four blocks to the beach or the boardwalk!

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great stay when we were at this beach house last year that we came back for a second time! The host was incredibly welcoming and always quick to respond whenever we had a question. The property was well taken care of and it was especially nice having a private fenced in yard for our dog."

Salt Air Cottage - Private Pool, Dog Friendly, 4 Blocks to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage is a phenomenal location and the price was excellent. We had everything we needed. The only issue was the code I was sent didn’t work to get into the property. A few phone calls and the property management fixed it quickly. I love the dog friendly approach without having weight limit restrictions. My husband and I needed this vacation as we never had a honeymoon due to obligations for sick family members. This was perfect. A wonderful getaway. We will be booking another stay at the salt air cottage."

Charming 2-bedroom in Carolina Beach walking distance to beach

10/10 Excellent

"This home was immaculate, not a speck of dirt was found anywhere! The host left snacks and drinks for us and we had everything we needed to make meals. Just keep in mind this is a 2nd floor unit, so there are stairs. Also, you can see right through the bathroom window so bring something to drape over the window while you undress. Speaking of windows, there was not even a streak on any of those, that shows how clean this place was. It was so nice that we could bring our old dog with us but that fee was 200, just FYI. We had a blast for our Labor Day stay!"

Tradewinds Private Room 1 of 2

10/10 Excellent
