Weekend Carolina Beach Getaway

Easy check in and check out process by text. Clean and comfortable room at a fair price point.

This place is not fancy, but it is clean, safe, and in a very convenient location to the boardwalk.

Good location. Close to the beach
Mikhail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very nice. Hotel is in a great location to walk to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and to the beach/boardwalk. Room is small, but very comfortable. Only complaint was that the ceiling fan was very dusty and the top of the window needed to be dusted. I would definitely stay here again though.
Ashley, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check-in was all done online and went very smoothly. The room is open and very clean with themed murals on the walls and extremely comfortable beds

The Starlite Inn was a great place to stay for the weekend. It’s conveniently located near the boardwalk, beach, and numerous restaurants. The staff was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. We will be staying here again. 10/10

Newly remodeled. Cute rooms. Basic. Right in the heart of Carolina Beach

The property has been recently renovated. Great location in the middle of the boardwalk. Staff is extremely helpful and polite. We have already booked our next trip.

The Starlight Inn is a nostalgic motel that is a quick, easy walk to the beach. It has off street parking up front, and easy access to dining and basic shopping, all within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.
Thomas, 2-night trip

This is our go to spot. Clean and convenient! Our only wish is that the rooms had a microwave 🙂

Great location with a nice beach vibe

A true place on the beach that felt like an authentic old school motel. Fun colors, great location, cute rooms.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful reno of a retro motel. Management was super excellent communication. The only issue was the shower - it was literally the worst pressure and thus the worst shower I’ve ever had in my life. The plumbing is obviously not renovated.
Stacey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is a true gem! It’s one of the most affordable motels in Carolina Beach, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fantastic! It’s extremely close to the boardwalk and beach access. Recent renovations have made the rooms beautiful and themed to the beach. I only two complaints; there’s no microwave, and the shower head is a little low on the wall. If you plan ahead, or don’t usually care about microwaves, it’s okay! And, while I’m 6’1”, I made do with the shower just fine! I’ll definitely be back again; this motel is perfect for a weekend getaway!

Fun Little Place

First, this place won’t be for everyone. It was great for my wife and I, as these are the type of places we like. If you’re looking for everything perfect, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re looking for a fun, modern, neat little place, this is it. It was clean and put together well. The location is great with lots of places to eat right by, and quick beach access. I can see how it may be a little loud at night, but again this doesn’t bother my wife and I. Communication with office was very well. We would stay here again

Perfect little place

Very comfortable, cute decor and in a perfect location to beach and night life
Giulia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a really cute property, I loved the towels the most. They were better quality towels than most “5 star” hotels. It was inviting and I loved how close it is to the beach. I was only there overnight, and during off season, but I’ve definitely decided I’m coming back again.
Danielle, 1-night trip

Cute little beach hotel, the rooms were good size and clean! We enjoyed our stay and will be back.
