"This was the perfect little cottage for our anniversary! It was clean, cozy, and had everything you could need for your stay. The garden and landscaping is beautiful, and my husband and I got to spend peaceful quality time together. It’s close to many activities and attractions in Wilmington while still being tucked away for privacy. Will stay again if we’re in the area!"

Oceaneer

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent
"We had no idea what to expect on this trip never having visited Carolina Beach previously. The whole trip was great! The Oceaneer was very nicely remodeled and modernized but had a chic style that wasn’t just another hotel chain property type vibe. The location on the beachfront was excellent and our room was nicely appointed. About the only negatives werr the fact that we didn’t have a microwave in the room and the gym air conditioner was not working and so it was super hot and stuffy in the room. I have to say though that the staff did allow us to leave the door open to let some air circulate in and the equipment itself was too notch for a hotel gym and all functioning appropriately. We will stay again in the future."
