If you are sitting at home, contemplating a romantic, spontaneous trip to the beach, do NOT book a room here. Heck, if you are planning a quick, cheap trip with the boys, do NOT book a room. In fact, if you relate best to Pigpen of Charlie Brown lore, even YOU do NOT want to stay here. This was the most despicable motel I have ever seen (in my United States motel stays). It is overpriced for a smelly, unclean, un-inspiring "beachfront" motel. The "beachfront" view includes a parking lot and no private balcony. We actually left at 6am in the morning to get the heck out of there. In general, don't go to Carolina Beach. There are more beautiful, clean beaches. We will never return unless we are celebrating the closing of the Surfside Motel.
