10/10 Exceptional

Awesome little place for a good price. Close walk to the beach and boardwalk. 2nd time staying and will be going back next year.
Geneva, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is not fancy, but it is clean, safe, and in a very convenient location to the boardwalk.
Kim, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very nice. Hotel is in a great location to walk to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and to the beach/boardwalk. Room is small, but very comfortable. Only complaint was that the ceiling fan was very dusty and the top of the window needed to be dusted. I would definitely stay here again though.

Cute retro

Newly remodeled. Cute rooms. Basic. Right in the heart of Carolina Beach

The Starlight Inn is a nostalgic motel that is a quick, easy walk to the beach. It has off street parking up front, and easy access to dining and basic shopping, all within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay.

Graet location to everything. Good customer service at the front office.

Great location with a nice beach vibe

A true place on the beach that felt like an authentic old school motel. Fun colors, great location, cute rooms.
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful reno of a retro motel. Management was super excellent communication. The only issue was the shower - it was literally the worst pressure and thus the worst shower I’ve ever had in my life. The plumbing is obviously not renovated.

Fun Little Place

First, this place won’t be for everyone. It was great for my wife and I, as these are the type of places we like. If you’re looking for everything perfect, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re looking for a fun, modern, neat little place, this is it. It was clean and put together well. The location is great with lots of places to eat right by, and quick beach access. I can see how it may be a little loud at night, but again this doesn’t bother my wife and I. Communication with office was very well. We would stay here again

We love the Starlite and the wonderful staff. We stay here multiple times a year. Going back in a month!

10/10 Exceptional

It was a really cute property, I loved the towels the most. They were better quality towels than most “5 star” hotels. It was inviting and I loved how close it is to the beach. I was only there overnight, and during off season, but I’ve definitely decided I’m coming back again.

Cute little beach hotel, the rooms were good size and clean! We enjoyed our stay and will be back.
Jean M, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Facility is old but has been upgraded with average quality job. Bed is very uncomfortable and didn't know we would have to be walking up stairs to out room. Staff was friendly.
Ronald L, 3-night trip

Updated to king size bed which was under comfortable. Stayed during off peak

An amazing inn we stayed in me and my girlfriend loved it so much it was close to everything and we literally were able to watch to almost everything we did besides a few trips we took into Wilmington i definitely recommend this place if your looking for a nice and relaxing vacation
Dominick, 3-night trip

Highly recommend

Took a solo trio to the beach for the night. The starlite is walking distance to the beach. The room was very cute and all I needed. This was my first contactless check in and it was very easy.

Charming hotel in an excellent, walkable location!
Ashley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We LOVED the Starlite. It was such a cute stay for our honeymoon. The only thing we would change is we wish the room had a microwave. For a weekend stay where we ate all of our meals somewhere else and frequently had leftovers, having the mini fridge was fantastic. But if there was a microwave or some way to heat up our food it would’ve been absolutely perfect. Otherwise the stay was a 10/10. Can’t wait to come back 💕
Corrie, 3-night trip

We liked our room & that this property was remodeled, just wish the shower was bigger & bathroom needs s fan.
