    What a great place to stay! You can walk to anything dnd everything from this motel! Clean rooms, excellent location, steps from everything! Parking is a little tight but otherwise everything else is amazing!

    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.

    Super cute, and just at an awesome location to the boardwalk, beach, restaurants and bars! Staff was quick to answer messages. We would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay for a quick weekend getaway!

    This room was not clean. The floor was so dirty that we went to Walmart and bought Swiffer floor wipes. That was the only way to keep the bed from becoming as dirty as the floor. There is no office on this site. The only good thing about this "Inn" was the area of its location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    For a place right on the beach in a busy areas. Our room was very clean, property updates and grounds were up to snuff, and the communication via text and messaging was very easy to follow! We loved the short walks to places and to the beach. We will be back!

    Great stay! Straightforward accommodations with easy access to bars, restaurants, and the beach. If you are looking for nice, updated, but no frills, this is a solid spot to land.

    We love The Starlite Inn! The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioning was cold. The Keurig was a nice touch; So much better than those other little coffee makers you find at most other hotels. Close proximity to everything was perfect! The only thing I would add would be hooks by the front door to hang hats and coats and a luggage rack. Other than that the place was great!

    This was an amazing place to stay!!! The staff is very responsive and super helpful! The room was so clean and just enough for what we needed. It also is so close to the beach access and board walk. I loved staying here and we will be back!!!

    Clean room, however the bathroom and shower had some chipped paint. Less than a block away from the boardwalk and beach. A very convenient location.

    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 👌

    Staff are helpful, like the texting for communication. Great price, powerful air conditioning, kept us Alaskans cool.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    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

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I love that is is so close to everything you need for a solo traveler.

    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.
