Traveler Reviews on Carolina Beach

Harbor Masters

3 of 5 stars
Jacksonville, FL
Oct 31, 2008

I went there a few weeks ago for lunch. The service was good, but it seems as though the ham in the club sandwich was low-quality. Half-way through my lunch, I took another bite of my sandwich and got a bite full of fat from the ham. That grossed me out I definitely lost my appetite. My husband had the... more

Atlantic Towers

Oct 19, 2008

Love the Altantic Towers, we stayed in Room 902, very beautifully decorated, clean and all the comforts of home. My husband and myself are planning another trip in November. This will be the only place we stay at from now on at Carolina Beach. more

We just left the Deck House tonight and returned to our hotel down the street. Wanted to write this review, just in case someone else was ordering what we did. We were looking for a nice meal and looked at the reviews on both trip advisor and other review websites. It was so disappointing after reading the majority of the... more

Dolphin Lane Motel

We took a family vacation and rented the duplex since we were having the whole family there. Upon arriving we noticed in the bathroom the ceiling was falling in. Friday night we had the pleasure of listening to it rain in our shower all night since it was a rainy weekend. We notified the office and they said they were... more

Microtel Inn & Suites Carolina Beach

4 of 5 stars
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Oct 10, 2008

Using the magic green Room Saver books we came across the Microtel Inn at Carolina Beach. The receptionist even offered a $10 discount as we were out of season. Very friendly service, a good clean room with lots of space, great pool and a nice walk into town and to the beach. I was very impressed with the accomodation considering... more

Michael's Seafood Restaurant

1 of 5 stars
Wilmington, NC
Oct 10, 2008

This happened about a year ago...My husband's grandparents were coming into town and wanted to take us to dinner. We had never tried Michael's and thought it would be a nice place to get seafood. The place was packed when we got there, looked promising. We were given menus and weren't greeted for awhile. When the waitress (with an attitude... more

We were put out of another local hotel because we complained that our room was dirty. We went to them with no where else to go. They were very accomadating and very helpful. The room was clean, the view to the beach was great and when we went to the pool the owners were there with their children. I felt... more

AWESOME place to stay! Clean, friendly and close to everything. Will stay there in the future! more

Tuscan Grill

Oct 6, 2008

We were really looking forward to this dining experience after all the positive reviews written on this site. The restaurant appears promising on the outside - certainly it looks like an escape into the wine country. We chose to sit on the screened patio because the weather was so nice. There were white tablecloths and cloth napkins. After I sat... more

Drifters Reef Motel

Good food, friendly service, decent price. How much more could you ask for. Had breakfast there in October and everything was great. Would definitely go there again. more

Oceaneer Motel

Oct 6, 2008

I want to be fair to the proprietors of this motel, but also give a clear idea of what this property is like. If you are looking for a bed, bath and pool, this property will be very adequate. Unfortunately the property looks worn and in need of updating. We stayed in a two full size bed room. The rooms... more

Although I am a true New Yorker, my roots are from NC. When I return to Carolina Beach, I look foward to eating at Granny's. The food is cooked like I remember when I was a little girl, real southern cooking. In Aug. my family came here to visit as well. Everyday we ate either breakfast or lunch at granny's.... more

GulfStream Restaurant

Family owned and operated. One of a kind. Breakfast that cannot be forgotten. The Gulfstream Restaurant is truly not something to miss on your trip to Carolina Beach, NC. I have been going for several years now and have found that no restaurant has satisfied my appetite the way that the Gulfstream has. Their menu is as varied as the... more

Britt's Donut Shop

Excellent! Every time I've gone to Carolina Beach, I always, always have to stop by and get some doughnuts. I actually believe they are ten times better than Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Especially the glaze, which happen to be my favorite. So if you ever get the chance go try their doughnuts. You won't be disappointed, I haven't been. Though to... more

This is my favorite restaurant. There is no comparison. I love eating here and always find the food delicious. They serve the best breakfast and the seafood is always fresh and reasonably priced. If you want a place that reflects the local culture and always feels like you are "at home" then the Gulfstream it is. The owners and their... more

This restaurant is not a regular restaurant, it's like a gathering place!! Everybody knows everybody, and if you don't, you will before you leave there. The food is great.There are only two cooks, and they are there whenever the doors are unlocked. They are Greek and can cook Greek food, American, Italian, Seafood, whatever you want. And I learned all... more

During the last two years, I have frequently dined at the Gulfstream Restaurant in Carolina Beach, NC. Each and every time, I have found the dishes to be oustanding while being served in a pleasing environment. While this is a family-owned restaurant, it is evident that they take pride in consistently offering excellent food and exceptional service. Way to go,... more
