Lovely Mother/Daughter Beach Day

My daughter and I truly enjoyed our night there. From enjoying the pool, to being right by the boardwalk and beach access, to just being comfortable. It was lovely. Loved the retro feel, and to top it off, your cute inn proves you don't have to break the bank to stay at Carolina Beach. Also, thank you for the late checkout option. It was so nice to clean up after a morning at the beach before we drove home. Will be back for sure!

Perfect location to walk to the Boardwalk and beach. Cute, retro vibe to the room, which was perfectly clean and just the right size. No issues at all with check in or out or with parking. We will absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend!

The room i stayed in looked partially renovated and was very clean. The parking situation was tight and i was worried id lose my spot so i just walked everywhere. The pool seemed well maintained. Complimentary k-cups and toiletries in the room with a microwave, fridge and keurig. For the price for a single bed $179+ tax with it being a 5 minute walk to the beach its what youd expect.

Dry Dock did not disappoint! The staff was very helpful before and during our trip. They answered all of our questions and were very prompt in their support. Our room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Dry Dock is a 3 minute walk to the beach and equally close to the boardwalk and places to eat. We cannot wait to come back!

For the price, you cannot beat this inn. The double room was surprisingly spacious, and the full kitchen was a big plus. There are also TWO pools, and of course everything in Carolina Beach is within walking distance. It is not fancy, but it is very clean, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Efficient, responsive, and well-maintained motel with all the necessities and none of the headache! Conveniently located. Only a couple of blocks away from the park, the beach, or the amusement park. Surrounded by plenty of local businesses for every need. Highly recommended accommodation for the cost-effective and short-term vacationer.
