Courtyard by Marriott Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely perfect for a family with a young child. The staff were incredibly kind and gracious with suggesting activities and amenities to take advantage of. Shout out to the gentleman who worked at 4pm check in Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. He was a blonde bearded man with a few tattoos and he was so kind and really went the extra mile to make my child feel welcome for his first beach trip."
