Carolina Winds

The 1 bedroom unit we were in needed a little updating and a top notch cleaning. It had a lingering odor,sort of like it had gotten wet at some time.A deep cleaning and airing out would help. The bathroom and shower were tight,small. It also is oceanview,not oceanfront. The rooftops of other buildings distracts the view of the ocean. The staff was kind and professional and helpful. The large outdoor,heated pool and hot tub were the best part of our stay. They were especially relaxing. Beach access was good.

We have stayed here for years and this year, something is off with the hotel.||When we got in our room there was an air freshener on the vent. I put it outside right away as they give me head aches. Later I went in the bed room and was like it smells like mold. Maybe the air conditioner.||It rained and room 205 walk way floods, no other room we walked past had all that water. Like a good bit of water.||It's 2025 and not one usb port... ||I saw only one roach but it's whatever with that.||The pools were fun for the kids.||That's damn mildew... Found it the day we were leaving.||Maybe a new hotel next year. ||14 years of staying here.... Mold.... Do better.||Update your rooms.

Have stayed at Carolina Winds for 15 plus years. Rooms are always clean and nice. Some are more updated than others but all range from nice to very nice. During my stays anything that I needed addressed by maintenance or housekeeping was handled quickly and efficiently. Staff always very courteous. All my stays have been enjoyable relaxing and comfortable.

This place is amazing for the price. We rented through Airbnb and had a great experience. Parking is free and easy. The pool and hot tub at the main building were well taken care of. There is another hot tub and a lazy river at the other building and I assume those are well maintained too but I was not over there much. The gym is not great, but that did not matter much because there is an entire beach to walk on and a great big pool to swim in! Everyone was friendly and I felt safe the entire time. The elevators are fast and the main floor was clean. My only complaint is the open walkways in the hallways. If you have a fear of heights, you might want to book a lower floor!

The rooms vary from disgusting to luxurious. The service was fine, it was off season, so staff was limited. The outside pool area is nice, pool has a 10' deep end. We were shown some rooms that we will try renting next year. The location is prime right on the ocean with plenty of eats and drinks in close proximity. Will probably go back again in September and hopefully some of the same people we met will be there. Lots of yinzers present.
