“We read the positive reviews on line and decided to give Carolina Beach Inn a try since we travel with our pups. I am happy to say that we were not disappointed. The accommodations were excellent and provided everything we needed. Many nice perks were provided as well, from the beach towel to beach gear and insulated travel cups. Much more than we expected. Our room was roomy, comfortable, quiet and the ink keeper was extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Carolina Beach Inn if you are considering a stay in the area.”
“I booked a stay at the Carolina Beach Inn on a whim. I had a vacation rental in the area and decided to stay for a second week, but unfortunately the rental could not accommodate myself and my two dogs for Friday and Saturday night before going back to the rental. I booked a stay at this hotel on a lark and I am so glad I did. What a delight! An absolute gem! This inn was lovingly restored by its owners in 2014 and they did an incredible job. They are very friendly and their attention to detail is impeccable. It’s also very difficult to find dog-friendly stays on the NC coast and especially so at short notice. The owners have renovated his historic property beautifully, have thought through every detail and are just genuinely kind as well. It’s a quick two block walk to the beach. Towels are provided as are beach chairs and other essentials. The front porch and decks are lovely for relaxing in the evening. We feel very well cared for and honestly our stay is an absolute delight. Book here! You don’t need to look any further. Especially if you’re traveling with dogs. We were provided with dog blankets, treats and everything you could need for traveling with pups. I will definitely be back! I strongly recommend this property.”
“We found this gem by happenstance. We were looking for a last minute getaway and everything was booked. I happened to call the Inn and Debi graciously offered to book us in their beach house which had just had a cancellation. Plus they welcomed our 2 golden retrievers! We have been back a couple of times since then and they are always accommodating to our last minute requests and last minute extensions (when they are able.) I would highly recommend the Carolina Beach Inn and their beach house! Debi and Thomas are wonderful hosts and the accommodations are perfect. We feel lucky to have found both this amazing Inn and super hosts!”
“We loved staying here with our spoiled Cairn Terrier. They treated us with personal care when needed including making a trip to reset the power that got kicked off during – Hurricane Isaias. We really enjoyed how close we were to everything and if we wanted to drive parking is right out front. They gave our dog her own blanket at check-in – which she loved. We loved sitting on the porch at night and watching the people heading to the boardwalk. We had a full kitchen and living area. We could’ve just lived here. I highly recommend this as a place to stay. They took great care of us. The owner (operators) were great and hard working. They were very personable and made the stay great. It literally is just a few minute’s walk to the boardwalk, Brit’s donuts and the beach. This is a great option to stay at Carolina Beach. Even during a hurricane it was great!!!!”
“In July after traveling through the North Carolina coast, I literally ran into this great little Carolina Beach town. Having the most difficult time finding a pet friendly hotel, I was referred to the Carolina Beach Inn Hotel… and boy, what a relief that was! The inn keeper could not have been nicer and she gave me a cute little room. Having stayed at different hotels since my journey started, it actually felt great being here…. it was so obvious, happiness was in the air! I can’t say enough about this modest little Inn. Not only it was very clean and comfortable but it made me feel happy to say the least!!”
