The amenities and property left.m a lot to be desired. Although a historic property it still needed to be renovated for space and amenities. The self serve rooms were a nice touch but our room was not as advertised.

Our stay was just okay. The rooms need a deep cleaning. The bedding sheets were old so I wasn’t comfortable sleeping at all. And I wasn’t happy with the 10pm noise curfew. We paid too much money not to be able talk past 10pm. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location. We had a family emergency at the beginning of our stay and the Carolina Beach Inn was very nice and worked with us to minimize the impact to our finances. They were able to refund us some of our stay. I will definitely come back this season and stay at the Carolina Beach Inn again. Thank you for what you did Carolina Beach Inn!

While there is no real interaction with staff, this inn was immaculate and very easy to navigate. With parking directly outside and the beach acces within 2 blocks, it was perfect for us. The kitchen was well equipped and with a separate bedroom it was easy to watch tv while my husband slept. The property is also dog friendly! This place is not fancy at all but suited us much better than a hotel room. We would stay again.

Carolina Beach Inn is located a block from the heart of the town. It is like a throw back to an earlier era. The beach is broad and clean, a 2 block walk from the Inn.
