Top North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher Hotel Reviews

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great, and right on the beach. Loved that it allowed dogs! Only negative was that I couldn’t sit on the balcony to enjoy the ocean view because the room next door was chain smoking and it allowed dogs blew over. Not a fault of the hotel, but definitely made it not as great. Tried enjoying coffee on the balcony…nope"

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"The view was amazing very easy access to the beach"

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the hotel and enjoyed our 9 night stay. Beach chairs rentals are very expensive. $45 for 2 chair and umbrella per day. My car rental was cheaper. I was tempted to go buy my own and leave them behind."

The Riggings #H2 by Carolina Retreats

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good- howeverthere was an exceptional amount of communication. All I can say was there were entirely.” too many words and too many text & emails.”. Other than that, the property was very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. . the outside patio could use some work with furniture, decorations, etc.. the bedroom definitely absolutely needs some blackout drapes. Vacation requires sleeping in!!!! I would recommend this particular unit and might consider going back. We’ll see.."
