The Starlite Inn was a great place to stay for the weekend. It’s conveniently located near the boardwalk, beach, and numerous restaurants. The staff was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable. We will be staying here again. 10/10

Had a great one night stay , only issue was unit 4 had a slow shower drain , when showering . Other than that everything else was great ! Walking distance to beach and restaurants . An ice machine would be a great add to the stay . I would stay there again : )

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.

Lisa, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location was perfect. Right across from the boardwalk and a block from the beach. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom and shower was very small. There wasn’t a microwave. It did have a nice small refrigerator that worked good. Could see the fireworks from the balcony of our room. It would’ve been nice to have a pool. But all and all it was a nice place to get away and relax.
Alesa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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

10/10 Excellent

This place is a true gem! It’s one of the most affordable motels in Carolina Beach, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fantastic! It’s extremely close to the boardwalk and beach access. Recent renovations have made the rooms beautiful and themed to the beach. I only two complaints; there’s no microwave, and the shower head is a little low on the wall. If you plan ahead, or don’t usually care about microwaves, it’s okay! And, while I’m 6’1”, I made do with the shower just fine! I’ll definitely be back again; this motel is perfect for a weekend getaway!
Kenneth, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The rooms are updated with very cute decor. The desk manager went out of her way to help us with various requests. It is conveniently located to the beach boardwalk, restaurants, etc. However, there was dust in corners and hair on bath tiles. The room is very small. The bathroom shower was paint over tile, and the paint was chipped in large chunks. When new batteries were put in the door lock, our key codes stopped working.
Regina, 4-night trip

8/10 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.
Stacey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We love the Starlite and the wonderful staff. We stay here multiple times a year. Going back in a month!
Lauren, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overpriced motel. The location is good and everything is newly painted and in very good condition. The room was small. There are no amenities on the property. There was a surprise $50 fee for a dog and a$3 resort fee. No pet friendly amenities- for $50 they could at least give you pet waste bags, a couple dog treats. It’s a nice place but not a good value.
