The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Easy access to beach and pool. Gorgeous view! Literally 3 doors down from center of town where some excellent restaurants are. Beds comfortable and pillows were perfect!!! The only complaint I had was the railing on the balcony. Gorgeous views while standing but if you sit all you see is the thick wide railing! It took me a couple of days to get over the frustration and disappointment but eventually I did as everything else was awesome!!! Definitely will be back next year."

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a balcony floor 5 room facing the ocean. It was a well-designed room for the beach. The balcony was a delightful place to sit, but the air temperature during our stay was in the 90s and hot air from the room was being exhausted into the area of the balcony. We also had the temperature of the room set at 78 and the door to the balcony closed, but during the night water condensation made the floor and other surfaces very wet and slippery, necessitating a call for an attendant to mop the water up. Aside from these problems, we were delighted with our stay and the service was very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed a breakfast and dinner at the Ocean Grill restaurant associated with the hotel."

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"We had no idea what to expect on this trip never having visited Carolina Beach previously. The whole trip was great! The Oceaneer was very nicely remodeled and modernized but had a chic style that wasn’t just another hotel chain property type vibe. The location on the beachfront was excellent and our room was nicely appointed. About the only negatives werr the fact that we didn’t have a microwave in the room and the gym air conditioner was not working and so it was super hot and stuffy in the room. I have to say though that the staff did allow us to leave the door open to let some air circulate in and the equipment itself was too notch for a hotel gym and all functioning appropriately. We will stay again in the future."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southport - Oak Island Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great! The room was very clean and the staff were very helpful. We had an issue with our tv and maintenance was there within 2 minutes of our call to fix the tv. The indoor pool was great for our 4 year old son on a rainy morning. Breakfast was great with a wide variety to choose from. I accidentally forgot my toothbrush and the front desk was able to provide me with one along with toothpaste. Highly recommend!"
