This place is not fancy, but it is clean, safe, and in a very convenient location to the boardwalk.

Cute retro

Newly remodeled. Cute rooms. Basic. Right in the heart of Carolina Beach

This is our go to spot. Clean and convenient! Our only wish is that the rooms had a microwave 🙂

Great location with a nice beach vibe

A true place on the beach that felt like an authentic old school motel. Fun colors, great location, cute rooms.

Fun Little Place

First, this place won’t be for everyone. It was great for my wife and I, as these are the type of places we like. If you’re looking for everything perfect, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re looking for a fun, modern, neat little place, this is it. It was clean and put together well. The location is great with lots of places to eat right by, and quick beach access. I can see how it may be a little loud at night, but again this doesn’t bother my wife and I. Communication with office was very well. We would stay here again

10/10 Exceptional

It was a really cute property, I loved the towels the most. They were better quality towels than most “5 star” hotels. It was inviting and I loved how close it is to the beach. I was only there overnight, and during off season, but I’ve definitely decided I’m coming back again.

Highly recommend

Took a solo trio to the beach for the night. The starlite is walking distance to the beach. The room was very cute and all I needed. This was my first contactless check in and it was very easy.

We liked our room & that this property was remodeled, just wish the shower was bigger & bathroom needs s fan.
Tracy, 2-night trip

Very clean. Ceiling fan wouldn't cut off. I think it was permanently on, that's the only issue.

My gf and I spent a weekend there, loved the location and setup. The room was perfect.
Doug, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I honestly loved staying here!! You can tell they've updated it for sure. But the main thing i loved was the easy self check in and the LOCATION! Right across from the beach, boardwalk, multiple dining options as well as cute coffee shops. The room was super cute! Just the carpet was very dirty- like my feet were dirty from it. And i would not recommend this bathroom for someone of a larger size. The bathroom was TINY and I'm a 4'11" girl- so it was fine, but someone bigger would've been uncomfortable. Over all a great experience!
Marina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We like that it was walking distance to the beach and some shops. I did not like that there was no on site staff or night phone service and that the windows were all street level, so we had to leave the shades closed unless we wanted people to see in. The room looked fairly clean, but it was apparent they do not sweep under the bed.

Loved our stay! Showers are a little weird but they work and clean you off none the less!
