Hello! SHOUT OUT TO AMY who made this the best experience vacationing at Carolina beach IVE EVER HAD! The Starlite Inn is an absolutely amazing choice to stay in when vacationing at the beach! The rooms were super clean, bathroom, beds, toilet, fridge etc. There’s a huge tv and the fridge is larger than any fridge I’ve ever seen in a hotel room before. The rooms are actually adorable, there’s a full length mirror with a golden outline, brightly painted walls, and cool decor. The staff are here for you whenever you need them, and they provide whatever toilet paper towels etc. you could need! The air conditioning goes to a super cold setting, so perfect for when it’s extremely hot outside. The shower was nice and ran well. We were provided with an entire Kureg machine and coffee pods, cream

Terrible. Do NOT stay here if you have a trip to Carolina Beach.||My wife and I came for a wedding and stayed here based on a recommendation from the bride & groom to "support small businesses", which we were happy to oblige.||On our first day, while my wife was on a work call, our room door was unlocked and opened without a knock. The property manager simply walked in. She later claimed she was “changing the locks” and did not realize the room was occupied. As the person responsible for managing the property, how could you NOT know the occupancy of your rooms, especially with < 20 units?||When we tried to discuss the situation with her in person, she was defensive and dismissive, saying only, “I already apologized,” instead of acknowledging how serious a privacy violation this was.||Aside

Great location! This is a retro style hotel! This one that was old and they have brought it back to life. It is just what we needed. The check in after hours was smooth and everyone was so nice! The room was clean and cold. We love it! It has an out side shower so you can rinse off before dragging all the sand in the room! Thanks for a great stay and great staff.

Beware. We stayed here October 10-12 for a wedding. 🚩We were greeted with a dead cockroach on our doorstep and I brought home a hitchhiker in my suitcase, which I caught/trapped in a jar. 🚩The a/c fan filter needed to be cleaned (the clean filter light was on) and made the room smell musty; my allergies were agitated. 🚩There were few places to put/hang your things; additional hooks would help for coats and towels. 🚩The shower is pretty tight and didn’t look or smell very clean. 🚩There is also one iron and ironing board for the entire property, only accessible via front office which is only open 9am-5pm (otherwise unstaffed after hours). This was a challenge for other guests attending the same rehearsal/wedding and needed to share in a timely manner. 🚩The woman in the office was laying on t

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience overall. The location is definitely the highlight super close to everything! I was able to walk to the beach and tons of shops and restaurants, which made the trip really convenient. The room itself was small but clean and was perfect for just me and my man so I would definitely recommend it to small families or couples. The bathroom was definitely on the smaller side, but it worked fine for a short stay. I’d definitely stay here again!
