The location is very nice. The hotel has a beautiful renovation that has been done. Rooms are very nice and are on the high side of price would appreciate not having to pay $26.10 per day for parking on top of the room fees. They provide towels for the pool and beach but, weren’t stocked during our stay. All in all and great long weekend stay.

This is a very cute and very clean little hotel, steps from the beach. The pool was a bonus too. My only complaint was that the walls were a little thin and unfortunately, we had some loud neighbors. Overall, we loved it and would go back!

This hotel was a gem. The newly renovated property was just beautiful. The hotel is located in a quiet, less crowded area. The ocean was so close that a short walk from a board walk directly on the property would get you in the surf. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxed stay at the beach.

We had no idea what to expect on this trip never having visited Carolina Beach previously. The whole trip was great! The Oceaneer was very nicely remodeled and modernized but had a chic style that wasn’t just another hotel chain property type vibe. The location on the beachfront was excellent and our room was nicely appointed. About the only negatives werr the fact that we didn’t have a microwave in the room and the gym air conditioner was not working and so it was super hot and stuffy in the room. I have to say though that the staff did allow us to leave the door open to let some air circulate in and the equipment itself was too notch for a hotel gym and all functioning appropriately. We will stay again in the future.

Positives: Great hotel, clean and on the beach. Newly remodeled, very convenient and very cute.
Needs improvement: mattresses too soft; reception guy needs a customer service training-very cold and dismissive, not welcoming....
Great stay otherwise!

I liked it was on the beach and close to everything. The pool was closed during my stay because it needed to get inspected which was a big bummer.

Property was very clean and well maintained. Rooms were decorated nicely. Although it was a pet friendly hotel there were no signs of pet hair or odors. Great location and easy access to the beach. The only thing I would recommend is taking a sleep mask since there are bright lights outside of the windows and no curtains to close.

Hotel location and parking is convenient. Brianna was very helpful at check in. The room was very clean and the bath/shower was updated and very clean.
The pool area was welcoming and the walk to the beach was very convenient. Relaxed and well appointed areas for seating at the end of the hotel before the beach access.
Our room had a very nice refrigerator, but no microwave. (In room Keurig coffee maker was nice, but you may want your own pods - the “house” pods were “meh”).
