I loved the retro yet updated vibe of this newly renovated hotel. Classic, upscale elements - no kitsch. I stayed in a beautiful king room that had the shortest walk I have ever had to the beach - even for a beach front property. The pool has been refurbished and is amazingly clean. The pool area has white lounge chairs and blue and white beach towels are provided. It's a small hotel but I totally enjoyed not struggling to find a parking space or waiting for the elevator. This place screams boutique (fitness area and coffee bar in the lobby) and I will definitely be coming back to the Oceaneer!

The staff went above and beyond to make sure my family had a great stay. Answered every question and provided any accommodations very quickly. The pool was very clean and well kept. Pool towels were readily accessible and with fewer guests on this property, it was a calm and quiet pool. The walk to the beach is right in the backyard and absolutely beautiful. In mid July it was perfect weather and never overcrowded. The locals are welcoming and friendly. Minutes from great scenery, a fishing pier, aquarium, great eats (Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar) and even an arcade. My stay was three nights and I will go back to The Oceaneer next time I’m in the area. Highly recommend.

Newly remodeled, the location is great with beach access and a pool. Our room was newly furnished but the bed corner on my side next to the bathroom kept poking my leg (causing a cut). No closet with a door. Good room condiments ( coffee etc). No soap dish in shower. No tub. TV was up to date. Phone couldn’t reach front desk. But we enjoyed the location.

I liked how close we are to beach. I don’t like how we had to wait until 5pm to get into our room. It was thundering and lightening so we were literally in the hallway for shelter. Also false advertising, there are no chairs to take on beach and no food market at hotel like it’s mentioned on website or welcome email. You have to rent your chairs through a service and it is not included. I thought the cleanliness of room was very good, unfortunately did see a roach on my pillow when I moved it in middle of the night. Overall very upset. As I have a 1 year old and I’m pregnant. There’s no bathroom to change or use bathroom until you go in your hotel room.

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.

This is a lovely hotel and I highly recommend it! There is no elevator so that may be a drawback to some but not for us. The hotel is very clean and well decorated. Who doesn’t love Pottery Barn towels! Staff is friendly and the location is unbeatable. If you’re looking for a unique amazing stay in Carolina Beach, be sure to stay at the Oceaneer.

The staff was nice but I was not aware that the hotel did not have an elevator my friend who has a brace on his leg who has knee problems made it very uncomfortable he had to walk up and down up down the steps. They did not have bottom levels available and when I went into the room the room did not have a microwave nor did the lobby. We had to eat out every single day the although cute was very small. I was charged double on Saturday to my surprise and no staff was able to explain I booked through Expedia they tried to get my refund back and considering I paid over 240 a night it was not worth the stay. The only up side was it was on the beach. One a scale to 1-10 I will give staff a 10 they were friendly but my stayed I rate a 6
