Liked: Cleanliness
We stayed 2 nights. The other guest were quiet for the most part. But, the housecleaning folks were very loud and being on vacation with no wake-up time was very disturbing. These ladies would slam the doors. Taking very loud. Moving furniture around while we were sleeping or trying to sleep. The BEDS were very very uncomfortable. The other issue is we had NO HOT water. Wow. Imagine that !!! Probably will have to not book this motel again. We were in room 17

Perfect Get-away for me and my Granddaughter!!
This was an unplanned trip for me and my grand daughter (6). Everything about the area felt very safe, #1 priority, though we don’t go out after dark. We walked the town multiple times. The gentleman at the front office was quick to resolve any issue we had and answer any questions. My gdaughter enjoyed having her own room to play and sleep in. We loved the pool and the location, and the price was right. A quick walk to the beach, rides, ice cream across the street, excellent restaurant right next door (Hang Ten) We will be back! Dry Dock Inn, keep up the awesome work!

Awesome Getaway
Loved our stay at Dry Dock Inn. Our room was in the back and secluded. Loved the location. We could walk to everything we wanted to and left the truck in the lot. Boardwalk attractions were close. Staff and service was awesome! Room was clean. Definitely will stay again.

The place was very neat and clean when we arrived (aside from a piece of gum stuck to the toilet seat). The room set up was nice and spacious. Loved having a fridge, microwave, and a sink area stocked with plates, cups, qnd utensils! The location was convenient and safe, places to eat, the beach, and broadwalk were all within walking distance. Will definitely be using this site again for future trips to Carolina Beach!!!
