The Starlite Inn

The Starlite Inn

8/10 Good
"You can’t beat the location of this place. The team was very responsive and helpful. Our room had some dirty washcloths in it and the blinds did not block out the bright lights outside. It was like daylight in the room all night. Besides that it was a great location and experience for the price. We would give it another try!"

"This place was exactly what we were looking for. We were here for just a weekend, but looking to book longer next time. The house is directly on the beach and truly a great place to relax. It’s also close to all that Carolina Beach has to offer. The hosts are so kind and welcoming. We will definitely come back!"

Salt Air Cottage - Private Pool, Dog Friendly, 4 Blocks to Beach

8/10 Good
"The house was beautiful and the pool was a favorite for all of us. We did have an issue with the second bathroom, the tub was cracked. We reached out to the host but it took 2 days for them to come check it out and when they got there, they were aware of the crack and said there was nothing that they could do but replace the tub after we leave. So we had 8 people sharing one shower and that was an inconvenience. But other than that we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again with 2 functioning bathrooms."
