Top Carolina Beach Boardwalk Hotel Reviews

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the 7th floor balcony was wonderful. I wanted to listen to the waves and walk the beaches and this was the perfect place to stay."

The Starlite Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Living in the area for years I was very familiar with the property and now that I’ve moved out of state, when I come back to visit it is definitely going to be a spot I book again. The location cannot be beat, you are literally 200 yards from the ocean. Toni’s right in the middle of places to eat, hang out, and access the boardwalk. The staff is remote (but close) and were able to assist me when I had an issue with my door lock rapidly. Very nice, helpful, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in a long time. And the shower supplies smelled amazing."

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent
