The perfect spot to stay when visiting Carolina Beach. It’s self check-in which my introverted self loves. It’s two blocks from the beach and next to the boardwalk as well. Great price for the location and space.

Love the rocking chair porch. It was a great place to read and enjoy the the end of the day. Keep in mind that this is a pet friendly hotel so you can hear dogs barking if they are bothered by noise of people coming up and down the stairs, opening doors, etc.

I had a great time staying here and would definitely stay again. Great location. My only issue was the room size, but I booked same day as our trip so there were limited rooms available and I did not do as much research as I should have, so definitely my own fault. The single room was very compact and did not have a porch. If you're staying for more than a night, a suite is definitely the wiser choice.
