The hotel was exactly what I needed for a solo, relaxing trip on Christmas Day. It was clean and gave luxury but affordable vibes. The staff was very nice and accommodating as well. I give it a 10/10.

We arrived in our hotel at 11pm and there was sand in the bedding, enough to make us think the bedding had not been changed in between stays. Since staff is only there until 6pm we had no one there to address the issue. We emailed the hotel and received no response.

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.

A pleasant family-type hotel; reasonably priced and right on the beach. The rooms appear to have been renovated recently and far nicer than what you typically get in hotels of this type. There is no elevator and access to rooms is external. So you will need to request a room on the first floor if access is an issue.

This is a lovely hotel and I highly recommend it! There is no elevator so that may be a drawback to some but not for us. The hotel is very clean and well decorated. Who doesn’t love Pottery Barn towels! Staff is friendly and the location is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a unique amazing stay in Carolina Beach, be sure to stay at the Oceaneer.
