I loved the cleanliness of the facility. The staff was extremely helpful. The only thing I personally wasn't a fan of was the very firm mattress in room 314. My arms were numb all night due to laying on such a hard surface.

The property has been upgraded and is lovely. We enjoyed looking out at the ocean from our room. We always enjoy the Tiki Bar. Easy beach walk to the boardwalk/arcade at Carolina Beach.

A very pleasant experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. My queen room was clean, comfortable — and I loved the retro touches like the microwave design. Location is beachfront, with the sand mere steps away. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms were attractive and clean. The view from the ocean-side balcony was very nice. The staff was very friendly and approachable. To make this place a really top-notch destination, a continental breakfast should be included in the price.

Good location. Awesome restaurant and Tiki bar on property. No baggage carts in our building and we were not told we would have to carry all our luggage to the room. Sliding glass doors were not clean and the door did not lock me.

We have stayed there 4 times. This time was under the new owners. They have a new no-smoking policy. We use to be able to smoke on the balcony but not anymore. If you are caught, you are charged $250! You are only allowed 2 cars per room and the second car has to pay $20 for a parking permit. I guess they have to find the money for the ugliness renovation to be done. One good thing is that the bed are now lower and easier to get into. Bathroom tiles loose, botched sheetrock, patch work paint job. 1st room we were given the balcony door didn't lock. 2nd room the balcony door also didn't lock. The internet didn't work the 1st night. We stayed gone all day and only came in to sleep and shower. Not worth $161 a night to only use it for a couple hours to sleep. Don't think we will stay there again.
