Clean, comfortable, bed was great, parking was safe and convenient.
Very close to beach, boardwalk and plenty of places to eat and drink. The steakhouse practically next door is definitely a must. Make reservations but well worth it.
The motel is so cute! It was featured in a movie MERV and it is just a cute as in the movie! Super clean and great location to everything near boardwalk!
Great location to the beach and the boardwalk area. Walking distance to lots of restaurants. The room was clean, bed was very comfortable and parking was easy. Will stay again.
Great location, can see the boardwalk from room, close walk to all the restaurants and to beach also. Bed was a little to firm and shower a little small but location makes up for any draw backs, I would stay there again
Our room was clean and the location is very ideal. Right across from the boardwalk and beach access. We loved seeing the boardwalk light up at night. Will definitely book here again!
Living in the area for years I was very familiar with the property and now that I’ve moved out of state, when I come back to visit it is definitely going to be a spot I book again. The location cannot be beat, you are literally 200 yards from the ocean. Toni’s right in the middle of places to eat, hang out, and access the boardwalk. The staff is remote (but close) and were able to assist me when I had an issue with my door lock rapidly. Very nice, helpful, and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on in a long time. And the shower supplies smelled amazing.
I like how close it is to everything that is happening at Carolina Beach.
I didn't like the fact that there is no staff on site, and that it is self check in
This was a great place to stay during my 2-day beach trip. Perfect location just near the boardwalk and the beach. The room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space and good air conditioning.
Room was great; my wife liked the decor. Walkability to the beach and surrounding things to do were great. Would stay there again. Having off-street parking was great, as well.
We love staying at The Starlite Inn - their location is perfect for getting to the beach, the rooms are lovely and clean, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. We've stayed here multiple years in a row and will come back again!
Our stay at the Starlight was great!
Our room was clean, updated and spacious. There is a microwave, refrigerator, iron and ironing board. A ceiling fan and the air conditioning helped keep the room cool after a hot day at the beach!
Convenient to everything in Carolina Beach. You can walk to the beach, the boardwalk, restaurants and entertainment!
We would stay there again!
My boyfriend and I stay here every time we come to carolina beach and we love it every time! The room is always clean and the hotel staff is very friendly. Also only a 3 minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. Quick and easy check in every time. Highly recommend 👌
