Top Carolina Beach Hotel Reviews

Dry Dock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Dry Dock Inn was the perfect place. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. It has 2 nice pools, and is a very short walk to the beach. The staff is so very kind and thoughtful."

Peaceful Carolina Beach Escape - First‑Floor, Gated, Beach Access & Yacht Club

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was very nice and clean. Check in was easy very quiet community. Nice 8 minute walk to ocean side from condo. Pricing was great. Great location on the island. Everyone enjoyed the vacation and would love to be back again next year."

Bohemian Oceanfront family getaway in CB!

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay. The location to the beach and all other things Carolina Beach has to offer was excellent. We had our 85 year old parents with us and this home made it possible for them to come with us, which isn't usually the case for beach trips. They sat on the porch and enjoyed endless hours of beach and people watching. The home was quite, safe, very well appointed, had great parking. We couldn't have asked for more and all said we wanted to come back. Special memories were had at this home."

3 BDR Oceanviews & Walk to Pier

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently vacationed to Carolina Beach with four other gals, and we could not have been more pleased with this rental. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cooking supplies. There was a closet of beach toys, chairs, and equipment that were all in good condition. Additionally, there were bonus supplies in the rental that aren't often plentiful at short-term residences- trash bags, detergent, beach towels, hangers, plentiful blankets/ bedding, etc. This property is maybe 15 yards from beach access. I will note that there is a pier very close, maybe 20 yards away, so there can be loud music in th evenings. (The music was over at a reasonable time, and the volume wasn't overwhelming from within the rental, just on the porch)."

Beach, Please!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice updated condo with easy access to beach and short walk to Carolina Beach Pier. The AC kept the place nice and cool even when it was very hot outside. My kids had a lot of fun in the pool and the beach towels provided in the condo came in very handy. Kitchen was well provisioned with pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, etc. My kids loved sleeping on the pull out sofa bed in the living room! The two bathrooms had a door that opened between them (which locks from the master bath side). Guest bathroom (accessible from hallway) has a sink and toilet. Master bath has toilet and shower. The master bath sink is in a corner of the bedroom so you can access while the master bathroom is occupied. The balcony faces south so it gets some good shade from the building. Be aware that it’s about a mile and a half to the boardwalk from the condo."

Serenity at Seascapes E Bldg. Steps to the Beach & Ocean Views Linens Included!

10/10 Excellent

"5 stars. My teens and I really enjoyed the property, pool, and the beach! I can’t say enough about our rental. It was just as described and we had plenty of room and amenities in the room. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone interested in a stress feee stay. We may be back next year who knows!!!"
