Courtyard Carolina Beach Oceanfront
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing room with splendid views of the ocean. It was great to hear the waves while sleeping. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Easy access to the beach. The only issue was paying for breakfast. They have a small starbucks inside with a sandwich place. I didn't want to pay $5+ for a cup of brewed coffee... But otherwise it was wonderful! I would love to stay here again."
