Typical beach room, but all ocean front with a nice balcony. Very, very clean room even in a smoking room. Great customer service at the front desk. Had fried flounder take out from Big Daddy's in Kure Beach, and it was delicious despite the reviews. Huge, thick and fluffy!!! Have a Pain Killer at the Tiki Bar. :)

my friend and I stayed here one nite on our way to vacation with another friend on Bald head island. We wanted a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean and that is exactly what we got!! Not only was the view perfect, but the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable! We were greeted by the most friendly front desk... More

We have stayed at the Golden Sands for a good number of years. We rarely stay in the "peak season" but usually enjoy the location for a spring, fall or even winter retreat. We have never been disappointed. Most coastal hotels have issues with mold and rust. The damp air and constant salty air from the ocean must make maintenence... More

Overall good value and decent place to stay. Older rooms but nice location on the beach. Tiki bar and grill had good good and service. Nice to have an in door pool. A real hot tub would have been nice rather than a couple jets at the corner end of the pool. All in all We enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I decided to visit the beach for a couple of nights just to get away. We paid for 2 nights at the Golden Sands at Carolina Beach. Rates were reasonable, staff was very friendly and the hotel was very clean. Great ocean view and comfortable beds. We decided to stay 3 more nights! Had the best vacation.

The price was very reasonable and although some of the furnishings may have been a bit outdated, it was a very comfortable stay. My... More

We stayed 3 nights in mid September 2012 at the Golden Sands. Nothing fancy, but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had problems with the internet 2 of the 3 days there. We found Carolina Beach to be a great little beach town with some good restaurants. We would definitely stay at the Golden Sands again. We... More

Stayed 3 nights on the 7th floor in the newer north building. No complaints at all with reasonable prices and wonderful ocean view. Tiki bar was fun and we walked (about 1 mile) down the beach to bars and restaurants near the Marriott. Reviews I had read were good but our stay was even better.
