St. Regis by Carolina Retreats

Sneads Ferry

"We could see the ocean, but all beach access was restricted from the recent storm that happened a week ago. No one communicated with us regarding the pools and beach access being closed, despite knowing this for the week. Hotels.com gave us the wrong unit number; the property management company wasn’t open to help us when we arrived; the property management company blamed the HOA for not telling them about the storm damage and restricted amenities; and no one wants to take responsibility for...

"Bathroom was immaculately clean for a cabin. They do not provide blankets, sheets, and pillows so bring your own! The pool was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. Staff are very helpful and super friendly. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable. The cabin came with a TV which was nice. Will definitely be back next time I’m in that part of NC. "

Hamilton Cay at Bermuda Bay by Kees Vacations

"The property was easy to find but the room took a minute. We had to drive around and figure out where the pool was and what it was called. A map would make it easier to find. The condo was gorgeous and very spacious. The second bedroom air wasn’t working and it was VERY hot in that room. I called on our second day to get it fixed and no one ever called me back or came to try and fix it. My son ended up sleeping terribly because of the heat. The check out procedure and what needs to be done is...

Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and just a wonderful experience"

Islander Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"Our room was steps from the ocean, the convenience was amazing! The pool was great, the room was pretty clean. There was no exhaust fan, sink or mirror in the bathroom and I did empty the dehumidifier in the room 4-5 times a day. There was a microwave and refrigerator but no toaster. Overall, it was a nice place for a great price. The staff was friendly and the location was amazing!"

Compass Hotel Beaufort by Margaritaville

10/10 Excellent

"This was honestly one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed at and we have been all over the world. The pool is incredible and so is the dining option. And let’s talk about the free breakfast, wow!!! Such a spread and the property is so well maintained. Everything was great! For not being on the beach it was amazing and I can’t wait it stay one day again!"

Mia's Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! We booked this hotel for the private beach access, and it was exactly what we wanted. Even though we stayed on the motel side near the street, the beach was less than a five-minute walk away. The private access leads directly to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were perfect for our family since we only used them to shower, change, nap, and relax between beach trips. Items like a blow dryer and iron are available upon request at the front desk due to past thefts. A special shoutout to Shaun (sorry if I misspelled your name!). He was working during a busy holiday, constantly helping guests, cleaning the property, and keeping everything running smoothly—all while remaining friendly, professional, and accommodating. His outstanding customer service made our stay even better. We’d definitely stay here again!"

Shutters on the Banks

10/10 Excellent

"We had not stayed in this hotel previously, but would highly recommend. We stayed in a room with Ocean view, and it was great. Room looked like it was recently remodeled or definitely well-maintained. The only word of caution is there are only a few places nearby to walk for dinner, but that did not deter us. We found some good restaurants and some that were within just a few miles that were good as well."
