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.
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!
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
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
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!
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!
The room was clean, comfortable, and the location was close to the ocean. Due to the nature of the property, there is no staff present, but you can call if you need assistance. I would recommend that they place a broom and dustpan in each room for use due to beach sand and other debris that enter the room.
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 👌
Rooms very clean ! Perfect location near boardwalk ! Carnival was soo much fun ! All shops and stores are walking distance ! Would recommend and I will be staying again!!

Great location, directly across the street from the boardwalk & lots of restaurants. We were able to sit on the front porch and have a perfect view of the fireworks. Cute room & very spacious. Surprisingly quiet inside the room. I did not love the window AC and no electric outlet in the bathroom. For a 2 night stay it was great!
This is my second time staying here and I will be back! Love how close this is to everything and for a very reasonable price. They have cute rooms with everything you need and the staff is very nice. I was able to park on site before check in which is super convenient, so I didn’t have to pay for parking somewhere else
We enjoyed our stay at the Starlite Inn. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was absolutely amazing. Within walking distance from everything. However, we had some issues with the hot water during our last night. Hopefully they got it resolved prior to the next renter. Overall, it was a great experience.
Starlight is a great spot right down the street from the boardwalk and easy walk down to the beach. The room was clean and very nice and the bed was comfortable. Clean sheets, clean towels and all around clean room. Another nice touch was the bench outside the room, so you could sit outside and enjoy this fresh air anytime. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Carolina Beach.
