Affordable and clean choice for the beach
Pros:

Quiet, clean, spacious room, very approachable & friendly staff, quick check in, outdoor pool, free breakfast & about 0.6 mile walk to Beach Boardwalk and beach access and close to shops and restaurants. There is a guest laundry on site . Pillow and beds were comfortable.

Cons:

I wish it were closer to the beach access but I didn’t mind the walk as we didn’t take a lot of gear and we were familiar with the location when we booked

Pros:

Clean and spacious room.

Cons:

Breakfast, seems like not real eggs- seems like made of powder... sausage wasn't fried like well done, looked white, potato didn't look fried well...took a picture. Need a better quality breakfast.

Went across the street for breakfast.

Quick trip, great stay
Pros:

My stay near Carolina Beach was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I checked in, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and had such a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and the location was perfect — close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions.

What really stood out was the excellent customer service. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure my stay was enjoyable. I truly felt valued as a guest. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a fun beach trip, I highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Cons:

The only complaint was parking, but not the hotel's fault. The other guest were not being considerate to how they parked.

Good Place to Stay Mere Minutes from the Beach!
Pros:

The staff was so friendly and it felt like we'd known them forever. The room was nice. Next time I'd love to use the pool as it looked very inviting and we could see it from our room.

Cons:

I didn't care for the eggs during breakfast.

My unforgettable experience at the Windstar and it's wonderful staff.
Pros:

It was a great experience with an even greater staff. The pool outside was clean with plenty of lounge chairs, some with umbrellas. The breakfast buffet was very good. The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. I love the fact that the shower had bodywash, shampoo, and conditioner that smelled so good. I loved the glass shower.

Cons:

N/A. No complaints at all.

Great value.
Pros:

It was clean and for the costs was a good option

Cons:

Only real negative was the shower. Not sure if it was isolated to our room or not, but the lack of water pressure made it hard to shower well.
