Looked like it had just had a remodeling. Beautiful rooms. Very clean. Great pool and beach area. Only downside is there isn’t an elevator. But amenities and decor were great!

This is a lovely hotel and I highly recommend it! There is no elevator so that may be a drawback to some but not for us. The hotel is very clean and well decorated. Who doesn’t love Pottery Barn towels! Staff is friendly and the location is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a unique amazing stay in Carolina Beach, be sure to stay at the Oceaneer.

The room did not have curtains, only interior shutters that allowed a lot of light in at night. The mini fridge also puts off a lot of light since the entire door illuminates. The AC wasn't adjustable. The facility was new and well stocked, but these issues made it difficult to sleep and we left feeling drained.

The staff was nice but I was not aware that the hotel did not have an elevator my friend who has a brace on his leg who has knee problems made it very uncomfortable he had to walk up and down up down the steps. They did not have bottom levels available and when I went into the room the room did not have a microwave nor did the lobby. We had to eat out every single day the although cute was very small. I was charged double on Saturday to my surprise and no staff was able to explain I booked through Expedia they tried to get my refund back and considering I paid over 240 a night it was not worth the stay. The only up side was it was on the beach. One a scale to 1-10 I will give staff a 10 they were friendly but my stayed I rate a 6

Sweet little boutique hotel recently renovated with lots of high-end touches, pool, and direct beach access. No breakfast available, but a killer barista-quality coffee maker in the lobby when the lobby is open. Would suggest that maybe the coffee machine be put in a card access area for early risers seeking caffeine!! Outside of that...no complaints, and would highly recommend this lovely hotel!

I liked how close we are to beach. I don’t like how we had to wait until 5pm to get into our room. It was thundering and lightening so we were literally in the hallway for shelter. Also false advertising, there are no chairs to take on beach and no food market at hotel like it’s mentioned on website or welcome email. You have to rent your chairs through a service and it is not included. I thought the cleanliness of room was very good, unfortunately did see a roach on my pillow when I moved it in middle of the night. Overall very upset. As I have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant. There’s no bathroom to change or use bathroom until you go in your hotel room.
