Fantastic hotel! Great location and facilities! It will be my favorite spot in Carolina Beach!
Room was very clean, the hotel was very close to the beach, and the pool was great!
Lovely boutique hotel. Bed comfort was excellent! We were there in low season & less staff around. We had access to everything we needed. Great coffee in the lobby. Great beach access. We enjoyed the garden & outside seating areas around fire pits. There is so much attention to detail at this hotel.
The manager is adorable and so helpful! The rooms are so cute and what a perfect location. Loved the art and design.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I HATE staying in hotels and it takes a lot for me to not think the room is "disgusting' or "gross" and The Oceaneer was none of these things. The room and bathroom were spotless and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
What a great location! My family and I were so pleased with your property and the lovely room we stayed in. The proximity to the beach, the cleanliness of the room and the overall appeal of your site made for a memorable stay. It was particularly pleasing to have a roaring fire displayed on the tv just waiting for us when we checked in! Thank you again for all the attention to the small details that made our stay perfect.
The hotel was great. Wished the pool area was open even if it was to just use the lounge chairs. Also, in the pictures it looks like there is a deck to sit on by your room but there is not. Lots of great places to eat and shops to go to.
Great surprise stay right on the beach, we recommend this Motel the had their reopening and did not disappoint, clean rooms and excellent customer service!
The renovation on this hotel is awesome. The rooms are spacious and the vibe is beachy chic. Beach access is steps away and there are plenty of spots to enjoy the view.
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.
