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.

I like the property but if you’re someone who needs quiet to sleep you may have some trouble. I loved the convenience and it’s very quaint and thoughtful. The water pressure is incredible to get sand and shells off. I love an ice cold window unit just be aware it’s at the top of your head so you want to keep a decorative pillow on the bed to block a bit of air on your head. It feels great. Cute vintage microwave and fridge/freezer. The bed is a 6/10 and needs a new mattress but for what I paid it’s no big deal. Entry with a code is so easy. Everywhere should do this. They also have a cute Keurig setup and cold water dispenser. It’s a quick two blocks walking to the beach and boardwalk and the free parking can’t be beat. Go to Celtic for ice cream and Crush and Grind for coffee and the speakeasy vibe upstairs for a craft cocktail.
