Wonderful stay!

It was a great place to stay. Thanks for providing a roll of paper towels in the kitchenette! Just one thing missing that may be helpful for other guests…a notepad! I will be back next month!

Cute hotel. Easy access to things to do. Best part was the check-in process. It’s all via texting. Very easy! And I loved not having to fiddle with card keys to get into the room. It’s a keypad with a code.

Very clean and cute decor. Perfect location. Check in and room access were a breeze. The rooms are not large, but everything down to the studs was recently renovated so it feels very fresh, clean and new with trendy decor. Its a quick easy walk to several beach access points and many restaurants and amenities. If your room is on the lower level, you may hear other guests above. Our room had ample sleeping spaces for our family, but no seating area in the room. But, you're at the beach so who cares! Ideal for a quick visit.

Perfect location to walk to the Boardwalk and beach. Cute, retro vibe to the room, which was perfectly clean and just the right size. No issues at all with check in or out or with parking. We will absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend!

Perfect Inn! Perfect location!

We stayed two nights, three days for a little get away with family. We booked the two room with kitchenette. The check in was very easy and staff extremely friendly and accommodating. The property is very well kept. Our room was very clean and up to date. They have two pools to enjoy…very clean with lounge chairs and pool toys. Everything was in walking distance…beach, shops restaurants and carnival. We will definitely visit again 10/10

Happy Surprise

We needed an economical motel/hotel, so my expectations weren't very high. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked into a welcoming, clean room with all the amenities. It was a close walk to the beach and to the boardwalk. Staff was friendly. Optional late checkout. Separate air conditioning controls in the 2 rooms.

For the price, you cannot beat this inn. The double room was surprisingly spacious, and the full kitchen was a big plus. There are also TWO pools, and of course everything in Carolina Beach is within walking distance. It is not fancy, but it is very clean, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Efficient, responsive, and well-maintained motel with all the necessities and none of the headache! Conveniently located. Only a couple of blocks away from the park, the beach, or the amusement park. Surrounded by plenty of local businesses for every need. Highly recommended accommodation for the cost-effective and short-term vacationer.

Dry Dock did not disappoint! The staff was very helpful before and during our trip. They answered all of our questions and were very prompt in their support. Our room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Dry Dock is a 3 minute walk to the beach and equally close to the boardwalk and places to eat. We cannot wait to come back!
