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.

This is a hotel without a front desk, so everything is handled online. Very simplistic and efficient. Our room was located next to the coffee service area, so it was noisy in the morning. Finally, it’s pet friendly, and our neighbor’s dogs started yapping at 6:15 AM. I thought that was rude, but so be it. The room and bathroom was small but totally adequate. The shower was very small - I’m 6’4”, so beware tall folks.

The manager was very friendly and personable. She gave suggestions of places to eat in the area and made sure we didn't need anything. The room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Coffee and water are available as well. Communication was great too! We hope to stay here again in our future vacations!

Way to hot
Very warm in the room. One vent and you don’t control the temperature. The ceiling fan would not speed up to provide extra air and the small fan provided did not help much either.

Response from Owner on 20 Aug 2023
Hey Angela, we are sorry to hear you had an unpleasant stay. Unfortunately when its 97 outside (and feels like 110) the units can only keep up within a 10-15 degree difference of the unit. We do hope you will visit us again in the fall for spring when temps are a little cooler outside.

The front door entrance to property did not lock with code. It was broke, which concerned me a bit. Other than that it was a great place to stay for a very short stay. Every thing we needed was in close proximity such as several beaches, restaurants and other places to visit.

Super cute hotel with a touch of home
Great little hotel with a homey atmosphere, super friendly service and really cute decor. Our room was just big enough for a short stay. The bed was comfortable and they have a bunch of little extras available for no charge...tooth brush, tooth paste, coffee, tea, water, mints, etc. The first floor rooms have are suites with a kitchen. Easy walking distance to the boardwalk. Overall, this is a great place for a quick stay in Carolina Beach.

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.
