Great pet friendly place, has an unfenced area in the back for the dogs to run and do their business. Everything in the room was very comfortable only thing is the showers are small but as a tall guy you’re already used to that. We will definitely stay here again.

It was a nice stay. Don’t expect the royal treatment because there is none. The room was really small but nice for just sleeping. The noise can be really annoying because the walls are not soundproof. Needs a lot of updating.

First, the good: cute place and near the beach. The unit itself is great for what it is. It’s just an old building. So if you are ok w loud noises, this place is great just be sure you get an upstairs unit. The bad: we were on the first floor and the people above us both nights were stomping and super loud and we slept terribly both nights. I feel bad writing this cause it’s not the properties fault but we did submit a complaint, and the people above us were still super loud. You can hear every step and they were stomping till 2 AM. It was pretty annoying.

My only concern is the lack of comfortable mattress. For me, it was like sleeping on concrete. I woke up every couple of hours in pain. The room was the perfect size for a short stay for two people and was very clean and quiet.

Overall, I have to give the Carolina Beach Inn a Terrible rating. With the exception of the Pet Area, which was actually quite attractive and convenint, my wife and I were extremely disappointed. 1) The Coffee Bar had a Keurig, creamers and Sweeteners... unfortunately, No Cups. (Minor inconvenience) 2) With no time to have maintenence fix the broken Hairdryer and make our dinner reservations in time, my wife was forced to dine with wet hair. (Again... minor inconvenience) The Carolina Beach Chop House -- EXCELLENT, btw). The reason, however, for my "Terrible Review" is two-fold. First, the toilet didnt flush. I learned that late that night adter midnight. My wife... moments later. We had to search for a place to relieve herself. (Major Inconvenience!) Later, shortly after we woke up, we decided to cut our stay short, and we left for home. I called CBI to let them know that we left a day early, and why. Hoping for a Refund for the 2nd day, CBI refused, saying that we should've called to have a maintenance worker fix the problem. I explained that there was no time for a Hair Dryer repair. As far as the Coffee Cups, McDs was nearby. HOWEVER, the Toilet that Wouldn't Flush at about 1:00 a.m. was HUGE! Soil her pants while waiting for maintenance to arrive WAS NOT AN OPTION. Had Carolina Beach Inn management done the right thing, I suppose I'd have given my stay an Average rating. Unfortunately, they did not.

The room was nice and clean. a few things were not completely correct. there was no pool on the property and was advertised when i booked as having a pool and around 6am one morning in one of the rooms by us sounded as if they were moving furniture around. which was very loud.
