Top Carolina Beach Hotel Reviews

Pirates Cove

8/10 Good

"The room was nothing special, but decent. No closet or rack for hanging clothes. It was clean in general. Good location. Overall it was decent experience."

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We found the staff very friendly and helpful; they responded quickly to requests. Room was clean but in need of upgrades, especially the bathroom which was small for 2 people and the air conditioner unit which was very loud. Pool area was large and well maintained. While a nice property, it did not meet the standards of a Hilton."

Sea Colony by Carolina Retreats

8/10 Good

"The condo had beautiful views and was directly on the beach. Parking was great and right under the condo. The condo had all needed amenities. There was a few things that could have been cleaner such as the bathroom but was tolerable. My biggest issue were the laundry doors were broken and would stay open blocking the living area. It was a nuisance but not the worst thing. The condo was dated but again it was ok because it was so close to the beach."

Sands by Carolina Retreats

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views of the ocean and Carolina Beach. The condo was beautiful and looks recently updated. Bright, spacious, and comfortable. Ample supplies in the kitchen. Bedrooms were roomy. Nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. Huge deck over looking ocean with very nice furniture on deck. Beach chairs were also available for use. Great for families. Plenty of room for everyone. Also walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk. Check was quick and easy. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this property."
