The hotel itself is your typical older beach property. However, it has been renovated and the rooms are clean and convenient to the beach and boardwalk. The pool area is also clean. It's well worth the stay!

Location was perfect! Within walking distance of really anything you could wish for. Views were phenomenal and sunrise beach walks were a breeze with the beach proximity. The perfect amount of amenities you would need to maximize your beach stay. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The setting was great right on the Carolina Beach Boardwalk but not so close that there were random people wandering through. Room was cozy for 2 people.

Great stay overall! The room was clean, staff was friendly, and it was very pet-friendly which we appreciated. The kitchen was convenient and made traveling with kids easier. Only downside was there was no bathroom vent fan, so the bathroom got pretty humid after showers. Otherwise, we had a good experience and would stay again
