I like the property but if you’re someone who needs quiet to sleep you may have some trouble. I loved the convenience and it’s very quaint and thoughtful. The water pressure is incredible to get sand and shells off. I love an ice cold window unit just be aware it’s at the top of your head so you want to keep a decorative pillow on the bed to block a bit of air on your head. It feels great. Cute vintage microwave and fridge/freezer. The bed is a 6/10 and needs a new mattress but for what I paid it’s no big deal. Entry with a code is so easy. Everywhere should do this. They also have a cute Keurig setup and cold water dispenser. It’s a quick two blocks walking to the beach and boardwalk and the free parking can’t be beat. Go to Celtic for ice cream and Crush and Grind for coffee and the speakeasy vibe upstairs for a craft cocktail.

Our stay was just okay. The rooms need a deep cleaning. The bedding sheets were old so I wasn’t comfortable sleeping at all. And I wasn’t happy with the 10pm noise curfew. We paid too much money not to be able talk past 10pm. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Avoid room 3 if possible

Carolina Beach Inn is adorable with great aesthetics. The communication is great from the time you make the reservation to the time you check out. Housekeeping is wonderful - I think her name was Neha and she was the sweetest and accommodating. We stayed in room 3 on the bottom level, which I would advise to avoid if possible. It’s under the stairs and shares walls with 2 other rooms that have zero insulation or noise protection. The people next door partied all night and their dogs barked incessantly. The walls were so thin I could hear every word of their conversations. This room also is under 2 different hotel rooms upstairs and there is no noise protection under the hard wood. Between the relationships and walking around all hours of the night, we got no sleep and decided to leave the hotel early. It’s a bummer because the hotel is adorable and close to the beach.

Great location. We had a family emergency at the beginning of our stay and the Carolina Beach Inn was very nice and worked with us to minimize the impact to our finances. They were able to refund us some of our stay. I will definitely come back this season and stay at the Carolina Beach Inn again. Thank you for what you did Carolina Beach Inn!
