“With its proximity to the beach and walkable distance to Carolina Beach's restaurants, the location is undeniably a strong suit. I noted the updated, clean rooms, some of which include kitchenettes and terraces with pool views, are practical for families or couples. I think the private beach area is a real perk, especially during peak season.”
