We weathered a freak storm together and the owner of the motel was very gracious by putting us up in another establishment at no extra cost .

This was an unplanned trip for me and my grand daughter (6). Everything about the area felt very safe, #1 priority, though we don’t go out after dark. We walked the town multiple times. The gentleman at the front office was quick to resolve any issue we had and answer any questions. My gdaughter enjoyed having her own room to play and sleep in. We loved the pool and the location, and the price was right. A quick walk to the beach, rides, ice cream across the street, excellent restaurant right next door (Hang Ten) We will be back! Dry Dock Inn, keep up the awesome work!

Loved our stay at Dry Dock Inn. Our room was in the back and secluded. Loved the location. We could walk to everything we wanted to and left the truck in the lot. Boardwalk attractions were close. Staff and service was awesome! Room was clean. Definitely will stay again.

Very easy online check-in process and great communication via text! My friend and I stayed in an adorable room that was perfect for the two of us for a few days. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

It's a lovely place but to pay that much and sleep in plastic sheets. I won't do it ever again. I don't know why these smaller accommodations think people care for microfiber sheets. Plastic sheets!! I can t do it

The place was very neat and clean when we arrived (aside from a piece of gum stuck to the toilet seat). The room set up was nice and spacious. Loved having a fridge, microwave, and a sink area stocked with plates, cups, qnd utensils! The location was convenient and safe, places to eat, the beach, and broadwalk were all within walking distance. Will definitely be using this site again for future trips to Carolina Beach!!!

Wow! Super cute updated property walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk. Awesome online check in process! I am officially a reformed AirBnBer! We had a room with two bedrooms. The kiddos shared a room with two double beds. They even had their own TV. The mini fridge was super cute and just what we needed. The room was super clean and smand liked great upon arrival. We didn’t use the grills but they are available. We used the pool and the kids had a blast. We love Carolina Beach and have stayed at other properties in the area. None of the other places were this nice yet they cost almost double. We highly recommend Dry Dock Inn and will definitely be back!

I cant gush enough about how cute this place is! If you're looking for bells and whistles this is not the place for you, but if you want a quaint room with excellent service, functional ammenities, and small details that make the stay perfect; this is the place for you. They have a cute little game area, well maintained pool, vending machines, and you can tell it was recently updated and well cared for. Next time I come back, this is where I am going to stay. Also, it is within walking distance of everything you need including the boardwalk, beach, and plenty of restaurants.

Convenient to beach, boardwalk, and restaurants. Room was clean and had been mostly renovated with lvp, cute appliances and new vanity in bathroom. The shower/tub and faucet were ready for replacement. Bed was comfortable but the polyester bedding made me feel hot and sticky. We stayed on top floor and some of the deck/stair treads and railing were uneven and missing the non-slip surface. I was a little wary of the totally digital check- in, but it worked out ok. Overall, good stay. Great place to watch Thursday fireworks!

Property is an older motel that has been brought back to life. A short block away from the water but still very much feels like ocean front. Close to restaurants all within walking distance.
Our stay was in a two bedroom apt style unit. All updated and new. Stayed two nights and wish we could have stayed longer.

It’s a very small room but perfect for what I needed. Was easy to access and had all the amenities I needed including a decent sized refrigerator. Check in with code was super easy too. Nice pool on site although I didn’t personally use. Perfect view of fireworks too from the beach! This location will remain on my radar for return trips!

Very cute motel with a nice location only steps from the beach. It was quiet and the check in process was very easy. There is also a little games corner and the pools looked nice.
The only things we didn’t love was we got booked to a very narrow room so the bed was turned on the side like a daybed which was a bit odd. It looked like there were other rooms with way more space. The air conditioning also left the room feeling quite humid.

The check-in process was seamless…missing the human touch but very convenient. The property was recently renovated, it looks nice and it was very clean. The property has 3 little outside niche’s, 1 for grilling, 1 for gathering around and the other had ping pong and cornhole. There are 2 pools on the property as well. Overall a great stay and the price was reasonable. The walk ability was great as well!

The check-in process (digital) and room entry were very easy. I sent a text prior to arrival and got a quick response. There was a property manager on site at arrival who answered my question about parking. My two granddaughters and I stayed in the premium double queen room. It was very spacious. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels, toiletries, etc. All in all, we were very impressed with with the property and staff. This was our to stay at this property and we have declared the Dry Dock Inn our hotel of choice in Carolina Beach.

It was a lovely stay . So good in communication. The stay was clean and a hop and skip from the beach . Location could not be any better than the hotel it self ! Just beautiful .

Second time staying. Off season. It is a non-smoking property. It is not posted very well. So heads up.
They do not take AAA or AARP. Rate was very reasonable.
Definitely would stay again.

Very cute motel. You can tell its been recently remodeled and was done really nicely. Even though it was the off season so they didnt have anyone at the front office, the staff we did encounter was extremely nice and seemed very proud of their work in remodelng (as they should be). I was nervous about there not being an office person for clock in and out but it was seamless and easy through their text system.
