The Dry Dock Inn is an amazing place to stay at while vacationing at Carolina Beach. The Inn is located in what I consider a prime area. It's within walking distance to the Boardwalk, the Lake, along with other places to eat. This saved us from having to drive anywhere and not to mention, not having to pay to park. My car never moved until it was time to leave. Check in was a smooth transition being via text. Uploaded my information, paid my refundable security deposit and got my code. Once I arrived I found my parking pass and the room was very clean. It's a cute place and I absolutely love the common area. We spent several hours every day out there enjoying the peace and quiet. The beds were soft, water pressure was amazing. I had the BEST hot shower. The towels, wow, they were the softest I've ever had and trust me, I've traveled all across the USA and have never had towels this soft (they beat the Hilton too). I actually met Cameron and he was so nice and sweet. We felt very welcomed and valued staying here. They would check in on us daily to ensure our needs were being met. I highly recommend this place and I will be back. Thank you Dry Dock Inn for a relaxing no stress stay.

Great location! Loved having a pool too. All the staff were friendly and helpful!

There isn’t daily room cleaning which is fine if just there for a weekend but we stayed a week and no matter how hard you try, sand gets everywhere. That said, we asked midweek and got fresh towels and a room clean. The rooms were a little smaller than I expected. There weren’t places to hang towels and bathing suits to dry after the beach/pool.

We loved the location of the Dry Dock Inn! The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful anything we needed was attended to fairly quickly. It was with in walking distance of the beach and many restaurants! as well as the board walk! We would definitely stay again!

The pools could have been cleaner than what they were! Honestly, I think that is our only complaint.

Perfect beach Inn appearance. I felt like it was part of a book description. Newly renovated room was charming, clean and crisp. Front desk staff in the evening was wonderful. He's the only one we met.

Construction still underway. THe AC in our room only ran at one speed - high. I'm thankful we had it the firat day and night but then it got cold and loud. I feel like this will be fixed once the room's renovations are complete. I think the room was put into use early for spring break week.

Everything was very clean for a motel. The room has everything you need. I loved the pool, and I thought it was great that there were two pools. One had kids playing in it, and the other one was a little quieter and more relaxing. The pool was definitely the best part!

There could have been a few more amenities for the price, but overall everything was wonderful!

Good location - could walk everywhere. Felt clean and safe. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

The sink was cute but awkward to use, I would have loved to have a bench or chair outside my room to sit on, and a chair inside the room.

Good location.

Usually if the door has a code to get in, like an Air BnB, they will let you check in a little early. We had to wait 30 minutes to be let into the room. And then house cleaning was outside our door at 9:50 the next morning.

Location, cleanliness and staff was great.

Room kind of small and bed was not comfortable. We could feel springs. Other than that everything was great. Location was great. Staff was great.

The room was top notch for cleanliness. The decor was calming and not commercial. The staff I met were always smiling and very kind. It was also close enough to the beach I could walk with ease. Very convenient location.
