I really loved the convenience to the beach and Restaurants. Property was very clean, very friendly staff too. The only thing is that the bed was too closed to the door, so not too much space to walk around the room, but it had everything needed. Also, the mattress could use an update. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!

Thank you for allowing me to finally show my dog the beach by welcoming her in your property! Staff was incredible and extremely helpful. They answered any questions I had with ease. They always got back to you over text within 20 minutes! Overall a great location, and area is extremely walkable which is nice for parking purposes. I plan on coming back next year :)

We loved the Carolina Beach Inn. The suite we had was just the right size with our two dogs, and the back patio was nice for relaxing after our daily adventures. The property was clean and well maintained with easy parking right in front of the building. Love being just 2 blocks off of the beach and able to walk to all of the shops and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again!

What a fun and unique little place to stay. Great location. Only complaint was the pull out sofa. You could feel the springs in the mattress. I felt bad having my kids sleep there. It would have been a really issue if it were adults.

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.

The rooms were clean and comfortable . The a/c unit in bedroom was old and loud . Parking was limited but we got lucky. The text we were supposed to receive on the day of our trip with our room info and door code never happened and it took us an hour to get hold of someone to get our room info .

Property was good for the two nights we stayed. It could use a little maintenance, and it was mostly very clean, except for a dirty washcloth left in the shower and a little hair around the drain. The sink was very slow to drain, but it was a nice little room for just a couple of nights. The Keurig coffee maker in the common area was great- and they provide the coffee, sugar/sweetner, creamer (we did bring our own cream), and there are dog treats and bins with lots of personal items that someone might need- razors, etc. The room had a little refrigerator and microwave. The main entrance has a lock that you enter a code to unlock, and the battery died one of the evenings we stayed, but I texted the number that we received with our check-in instructions, and they got right on it and had it working again within a relatively short time. Communication was very good and we had a nice stay.

Great pet friendly place, has an unfenced area in the back for the dogs to run and do their business. Everything in the room was very comfortable only thing is the showers are small but as a tall guy you’re already used to that. We will definitely stay here again.
