Fantastic hotel! Great location and facilities! It will be my favorite spot in Carolina Beach!
Room was very clean, the hotel was very close to the beach, and the pool was great!
What a great location! My family and I were so pleased with your property and the lovely room we stayed in. The proximity to the beach, the cleanliness of the room and the overall appeal of your site made for a memorable stay. It was particularly pleasing to have a roaring fire displayed on the tv just waiting for us when we checked in! Thank you again for all the attention to the small details that made our stay perfect.
The hotel was great. Wished the pool area was open even if it was to just use the lounge chairs. Also, in the pictures it looks like there is a deck to sit on by your room but there is not. Lots of great places to eat and shops to go to.
The hotel was exactly what I needed for a solo, relaxing trip on Christmas Day. It was clean and gave luxury but affordable vibes. The staff was very nice and accommodating as well. I give it a 10/10.

Room was very clean and beautiful. Easy check-in. Loved hearing the ocean while going to sleep.
The renovation on this hotel is awesome. The rooms are spacious and the vibe is beachy chic. Beach access is steps away and there are plenty of spots to enjoy the view.
The room was very clean! Bathroom was spotless! Bed was very comfortable! Staff was accommodating! The view was perfect! Easy to get to the beach. A bit of a distance from restaurants. No microwave in the room. I was on the 3rd floor. No elevator. All water and ice machines are on the 1st floor. Those last 3 are my only real complaints. Not the end of the world! I will definitely be back!
This place is nicely renovated and we loved the pool and outdoor fire pits. Love the rooms decorated really nice. Bedding was comfortable. We came in October.
This is a wonderful place!! We stayed 4 nights. It was so clean, bed was very comfortable, friendly staff and a nice pool. I have to say the manager was so friendly and she was working so hard right along with her staff. Will definitely stay here again

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.
A uniquely remodeled hotel just steps away from the beach! Our double queen deluxe room was very comfortable and clean. Absolutely love the remodel choices and decor! Pool is nice too! Highly recommend!

Very attractive & clean beachfront hotel. Rooms do not face the ocean but you can see it & it’s literally just over the dune. Staff is friendly, pool is beautiful.
This is a lovely hotel and I highly recommend it! There is no elevator so that may be a drawback to some but not for us. The hotel is very clean and well decorated. Who doesn’t love Pottery Barn towels! Staff is friendly and the location is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a unique amazing stay in Carolina Beach, be sure to stay at the Oceaneer.
We loved our stay here. The renovation back to Mid-Century Modern vibe and decor is excellent. Nice size refrigerator, good quality linens, and Keurig coffee maker among in-room amenities. Staff is responsive and professional. Can't wait to go back!
Looked like it had just had a remodeling. Beautiful rooms. Very clean. Great pool and beach area. Only downside is there isn’t an elevator. But amenities and decor were great!
A pleasant family-type hotel; reasonably priced and right on the beach. The rooms appear to have been renovated recently and far nicer than what you typically get in hotels of this type. There is no elevator and access to rooms is external. So you will need to request a room on the first floor if access is an issue.
