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!

The perfect spot to stay when visiting Carolina Beach. It’s self check-in which my introverted self loves. It’s two blocks from the beach and next to the boardwalk as well. Great price for the location and space.

Very clean room! The only problems we faced was the parking and power outlets in the room. They provide street parking but with everyone trying to park along the street going to the beach it was hard to find parking. The room only had one set of outlets to plug in phones and stuff which were hard to reach.

For the porch queen room we stayed in, when you opened the door it hit the bed, so you had to walk thru to the side of the bed then close the door. The fan was very very noisy, which was needed because you don’t have access to adjust the temperature in your room.

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.
