    This is my second time staying here and I will be back! Love how close this is to everything and for a very reasonable price. They have cute rooms with everything you need and the staff is very nice. I was able to park on site before check in which is super convenient, so I didn’t have to pay for parking somewhere else

    I love that is is so close to everything you need for a solo traveler.

    Starlight is a great spot right down the street from the boardwalk and easy walk down to the beach. The room was clean and very nice and the bed was comfortable. Clean sheets, clean towels and all around clean room. Another nice touch was the bench outside the room, so you could sit outside and enjoy this fresh air anytime. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Carolina Beach.

    Very clean, great location, you could hear the music from the amusement park, bit not terribly. The room was clean, but the bathroom is tiny. The shower was around 15 1/2 inches deep, and 24 inches wide. Im a 5’9”, 150 lbs woman and hard a time not hitting the sides or having the curtain touch me.

    Great location. Right across the street from the boardwalk. Nice for a weekend getaway.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The location was perfect. The room was very comfortable and had everything I needed for my stay. Very cute and great vibes! The airconditioning unit was really loud, but I don't think there is anything to be done about that. The room was nice and cool.

    Parking was easy and secure. Room and property were very clean. AC was cold. Staff are amazing! My first visit to the island and to Starlite. We will be back. The hotel is walking distance to EVERYTHING. It was fun yet very relaxing on the beautiful beach.

    The convenience and access to the boardwalk was amazing!!!! My wife and I shall definitely return. Amazing stay!!!! There wasn’t much to complain about. We did wonder if the room price would change any after Memorial Day.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I love the close walk to the beach and close was to restaurants. Super cute and comfy.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The location is amazing. The bed is pretty comfy. The room is small. The bathroom and shower are very small as well. The staff was nice and accommodating. However catch them when you can. If this is an ice maker I didn’t see one. And honestly I would have been ok with EVERYTHING I mentioned above if we didn’t see the biggest roach in our room. Alive! It changed the whole mood and we kept looking and checking bc who wants to bring home unwanted pest! The Huge Roach in our room. No ice maker. I could live with the rest.
