Golden Sands Carolina Beach Oceanfront, Tapestry by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I have had the pleasure of staying here 4 times only because of the atmosphere inside & outside of this hotel is exceptional to me and my family THANKYOU ALL ❤️🙏"

Hampton Inn & Suites Carolina Beach Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was perfect. The accessibility to the boardwalk and beach were what we needed for our family of 4. And the pool with the beach view was the best! Breakfast was great. Parking was very minimal but since you don’t really need to drive unless absolutely necessary we didn’t move the car for two days. The price is high in season and whether it is worth it depends on your own family and needs. But this hotel does have everything you need for a somewhat all inclusive stay in Carolina Beach."

Oceaneer

10/10 Excellent

"directly on the ocean...we did not have a parking problem, but if they have a full house they have 18 spots and 26 rooms. so, beware. clean, crystal clear water in the pool. the outdoor fire pits were not functioning due to salt corrosion, per the front desk. about a mile walk to the boardwalk. nice fireworks show there every thurs. very close to the water. i would stay again."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to South Beach?

The best time to go to South Beach is during the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October.

These months offer pleasant weather, with warm temperatures superb for beach activities without the intense heat and humidity of mid-summer. You'll find the water is warm enough for swimming, and the crowds are noticeably smaller than during peak season. This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're lounging by the ocean or dining out.

Couples often find these times ideal for a romantic getaway. The less crowded beaches and restaurants make for a more intimate setting, and it's easier to secure reservations at popular spots. The gentle breezes are superb for evening strolls along the shore.

For families with young children, traveling during the shoulder season can also be advantageous. The milder temperatures are more comfortable for little ones, and the reduced crowds mean less stress when visiting attractions or finding a good spot on the beach.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right South Beach hotel for you.
