We stayed 2 nights. The other guest were quiet for the most part. But, the housecleaning folks were very loud and being on vacation with no wake-up time was very disturbing. These ladies would slam the doors. Taking very loud. Moving furniture around while we were sleeping or trying to sleep. The BEDS were very very uncomfortable. The other issue is we had NO HOT water. Wow. Imagine that !!! Probably will have to not book this motel again. We were in room 17

The place was very neat and clean when we arrived (aside from a piece of gum stuck to the toilet seat). The room set up was nice and spacious. Loved having a fridge, microwave, and a sink area stocked with plates, cups, qnd utensils! The location was convenient and safe, places to eat, the beach, and broadwalk were all within walking distance. Will definitely be using this site again for future trips to Carolina Beach!!!

It's a lovely place but to pay that much and sleep in plastic sheets. I won't do it ever again. I don't know why these smaller accommodations think people care for microfiber sheets. Plastic sheets!! I can t do it

Wow! Super cute updated property walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk. Awesome online check in process! I am officially a reformed AirBnBer! We had a room with two bedrooms. The kiddos shared a room with two double beds. They even had their own TV. The mini fridge was super cute and just what we needed. The room was super clean and smand liked great upon arrival. We didn’t use the grills but they are available. We used the pool and the kids had a blast. We love Carolina Beach and have stayed at other properties in the area. None of the other places were this nice yet they cost almost double. We highly recommend Dry Dock Inn and will definitely be back!

Perfect couple's getaway
I cant gush enough about how cute this place is! If you're looking for bells and whistles this is not the place for you, but if you want a quaint room with excellent service, functional ammenities, and small details that make the stay perfect; this is the place for you. They have a cute little game area, well maintained pool, vending machines, and you can tell it was recently updated and well cared for. Next time I come back, this is where I am going to stay. Also, it is within walking distance of everything you need including the boardwalk, beach, and plenty of restaurants.
