Top Carolina Beach Boardwalk Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a balcony floor 5 room facing the ocean. It was a well-designed room for the beach. The balcony was a delightful place to sit, but the air temperature during our stay was in the 90s and hot air from the room was being exhausted into the area of the balcony. We also had the temperature of the room set at 78 and the door to the balcony closed, but during the night water condensation made the floor and other surfaces very wet and slippery, necessitating a call for an attendant to mop the water up. Aside from these problems, we were delighted with our stay and the service was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a breakfast and dinner at the Ocean Grill restaurant associated with the hotel."

The Starlite Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location, can see the boardwalk from room, close walk to all the restaurants and to beach also. Bed was a little to firm and shower a little small but location makes up for any draw backs, I would stay there again"

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"We had no idea what to expect on this trip never having visited Carolina Beach previously. The whole trip was great! The Oceaneer was very nicely remodeled and modernized but had a chic style that wasn’t just another hotel chain property type vibe. The location on the beachfront was excellent and our room was nicely appointed. About the only negatives werr the fact that we didn’t have a microwave in the room and the gym air conditioner was not working and so it was super hot and stuffy in the room. I have to say though that the staff did allow us to leave the door open to let some air circulate in and the equipment itself was too notch for a hotel gym and all functioning appropriately. We will stay again in the future."

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views of the ocean and Carolina Beach. The condo was beautiful and looks recently updated. Bright, spacious, and comfortable. Ample supplies in the kitchen. Bedrooms were roomy. Nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. Huge deck over looking ocean with very nice furniture on deck. Beach chairs were also available for use. Great for families. Plenty of room for everyone. Also walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. Check was quick and easy. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property."
