Our hotel offers oceanfront rooms with balconies, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and an arcade. Ideally located near the beach, we are minutes from the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, and a five-mile drive from the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher. On our pier is the renowned North Carolinas Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar, serving fresh coastal cuisine.

Roaches in room 315. Smelled like they just bombed it tried to cover up scent. Waited for refund only to find out they don’t refund the whole balance because they have a recovery fee. This was not told to me the day I checked out.

Husband and I drove out to pick our son up from base and just needed a 1 night stay, driving 9 hours I wasn't about to get anything but an Oceanview room, this place was fantastic. Updated rooms, great location, quick beach access, friendly staff...but the view itself was worth every penny! We didn't walk down to the beach as it was cold and I'm more of a see the beach vs feel the beach but we will most definitely be back in the warmer months to bring the grandbaby!

What a wonderful stay we had at the Golden Sands!
The rooms were clean with housekeeping available on request. They were spacious with a beautiful balcony that comes with oceanfront rooms.
Everyone working there was super nice and helpful, I was happily greeted every single day.
If I ever end up in Carolina Beach again, this place is definitely at the top of my list of places to stay!
They appear to be going through some renovations as of the time of writing this review, but that was of no detriment to us, I'm excited to see how this place transforms.
