Top South Harbor Island Hotel Reviews

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful ocean view room with balcony!"

Trailborn Surf and Sound, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Hands down one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The property is beautiful!! Highly recommend the oceanfront side if you can splurge a bit. The views were to die for. The property is so well maintained. Even in the dark of night I saw staff out taking out trash, maintaining the lawn, etc and then first thing in the morning they were out on the beach setting up chairs and umbrellas for guests. The staff were genuinely amazing! If you run into Fab, stop and have a quick chat with her! She was working hard to keep that hotel clean every time we saw her and was such a sweetheart! Every staff member was so accommodating and kind. Anything we wanted or needed they were one step ahead of me. The room was so spacious and clean and beautiful. We booked a chair and umbrella package for one of the days we stayed which was beyond convenient. It’s the lounger chairs too not the short ones. They also have many fun activities you can book through them, like sunset cruises. Unfortunately we didn’t get around to trying it out, but I enjoyed this stay and property so much I will be returning!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a great location. Our room was clean. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is awesome! Something different each morning along with fresh fruit, oatmeal, grits & yogurt & nice variety of cereals. Walking distance to restaurants and right on broadwalk. Tiki bar was really nice too! Great drinks & food."
