Guest Reviews

• Arlene (8/5): - We stayed for 2 nights during Thanksgiving and while the room was clean and the beach was right outside the door we did not have any internet or TV. We were offered the chance to move to another room after our first night but didn't want to pack everything up and move to another room with only one more night to our stay. We were told the cable had been cut. Feel as though we should have been compensated for the inconvience but were not offered that. Other than not having any TV to watch in the evenings, our stay was nice.
• Jeffrey (8/5): No manager on site - We were there late November, which is off season. For that reason, it was pretty quiet. The rooms were very clean and well stocked with plenty of towels and wash clothes. The bathroom was very small and it took a LONG time to get hot water! Good water pressure, tho. The kitchenette was perfect for a short stay. It was supplied with a small refrigerator, microwave and a pod coffee maker. The biggest beef I had with our visit was trying to communicate with the management. Apparently, on-site personnel is MIA in motels these days. A keyless entry code is supplied and if you don’t enter it correctly, it locks you out! Same with their smart tv (no cable- you supply your own streaming services). Again, a phone call must be made to correct any issues! They did answer the calls and were able to help, but I’m not happy with how complicated it was. I think it would be a good idea to provide better instructions prior to check in.
• Phoebe (8/5): - Close to the beach, quiet, easy parking and kitchen has everything you need!
• Pamela (4/5): - Convenient beach access, on boardwalk. Very small-no closet or dresser or hangers for clothing. No table or chair in room. Bathroom and front door hard to close. Masking tape covering door handle
• Bruce (6/5): - There were mold spots on the ceiling mostly in the bathroom that had no ventilation.
• Beth (10/5): - Great location. Even though a band was playing across the street, the air conditioner muffled the sound. I had no trouble sleeping.
• Tammy (10/5): - Everything was just perfect, we’ll definitely come back
• Carlos (10/5): - All is good .
• Matthew (10/5): - The room was clean and the property was close to the beach and restaurants.
• Sybil (10/5): - Easy access to boardwalk etc
• Paul (10/5): surf view - great location, close to bars and restaurants i like. close to ocean and can see the surf from our second floor deck.
• Diane (8/5): a nice view - the room was clean....the room we had was such a great view of the ocean, wish we would have been able to stay earlier, the pool would have made it over the top.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Cute rooms, great service, excellent location! - The name drew me in and I couldn't have asked for a better stay! I got in late in the evening, and all of the staff was very accommodating and considerate. The room was comfortable and adorable, and the proximity to the beach cannot be beat. Hope to return and stay again!
• douglas (10/5): - Enjoyed our stay. No problems whatsoever.
• Debra (10/5): - This was the perfect place at the best price to spend a long weekend in Carolina Beach. It's small and has the old-world charm of a seaside motel that has been lost among the commercial high-rise hotels. Each room is different but charming in its own unique way. There's a lovely deck where we had a wine and cheese happy hour as we watched the sunset. The motel has direct access to the beach and boardwalk. The center of the boardwalk shops is just a short walk away. The staff was so friendly and helpful, particularly Heather. She provided anything we requested and was always available if we needed assistance. Will definitely return!
• Susan (4/5): - Room was smallest we have ever had, a closet. Frontvdesk staff would not switch our room. No side tables or chairs in room. We opened door to walk into bed
• Nancy (10/5): - Great location. Very cute motel. Like the personal beachy decorations instead of plain corporate look. Very nice staff especially Heather.
• Julie (10/5): - Clean, good size rooms with outdoor seating area on the walkway (second floor has view of ocean from this walkway). There is also a shared deck overlooking the ocean. Located on boardwalk with walkway to the beach. Many restaurants in walking distance. Fun stay for good price.
• Abigail (4/5): - Roaches, mold, stained linens and towels, slippery and dirty floors that literally made the bottom of our feet brown, one-ply toilet paper, loose outlets, etc. One day we went to exchange our towels and the front desk was closed, so we never got fresh towels. There was a dog in a room nearby that wouldn’t stop barking. The bar across the street was playing very loud music late into the evening on a Sunday. We won’t stay here again.
• Adnan (10/5): - Amazing property. Very clean room. Love the direct access to the beach and in the middle of everything. Definitely coming again
• Barbara (8/5): - Built in 1947, maintained over the years. Charming and met my needs.
• Betty Jean (8/5): - Good very small.room .
• Ashley (10/5): In the middle of everything you’d want! - Perfect location! No frills beach motel, but clean and comfortable!
• Deborah (8/5): - I like the boardwalk connection. Easy walk to restaurants and the Boardwalk. Room needed updating and a few repairs.
• Robert (10/5): - I really liked that your parking space corresponds to your room number… nothing worse than going out late in a resort town and not finding a parking space when you get back to your hotel. Beautiful beach. Nice walking around the area. Fast WiFi.
• Jason (8/5): - Love the SeaWitch Inn. Its not a luxury property but it provides a clean ocean front place to stay within walking distance to all the Carolina beach fun.
• John (10/5): - We had a great stay and would definitely go back, thanks!
• Tomica (8/5): - Cute property really convenient to the boardwalk... rooms are really small, some are smaller than others but the staff was great at making necessary changes 😊
• Brandon (10/5): - Excellent staff, very welcoming and knowledgable about the area. Great service especially Brad helping with anything you require. The rooms were clean and neat, especially loved the origami through toiletries. This place is walkable to nearby restaurants and stores, especially like the TIKI BAR located across the street. Bartenders there were quick with service and very pleasant to meet. With reasonable prices and great location you cannot go wrong vacationing with The Sea Witch.
• daniel (4/5): - The pool was out of service with seemingly no effort to repair or clean it. The gate to enter beach access was screwed shut for the last day of our long weekend and the outdoor shower disconnected. Staff took beach blanket from in front of our room which was really weird fortunately I saw and followed to take it back.. overall just not like it used to be and seemed like they had just given up on the place.
• George (6/5): - We are pretty sure we reserved a room with two beds and there was only one bed. We were told a Keurig coffee maker in the room and it was a brew pot.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Less than pleasant - Room was cute but very small. Ours was ground floor near garbage cans so we couldn’t enjoy sitting outside for fresh air. A/c unit so loud kept me up…only helped drown live music next door til midnight. Also ridiculously loud couple over our room also kept us up until 2am. Convenient to beach and boardwalk
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Good: -nice location: we were right at the beach!! -we felt pretty safe Cons: -The pool was green. -The AC had black mold on the plastic vent that blows into the room. -We had to hustle to be there by 5pm, when check-in starts at 4pm.
• Dawn (8/5): - We loved the location! We walked everywhere. The room was clean but lacked closet space or a luggage rack to keep suitcase off the floor. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We loved being on the beach. Sea Witch cafe across the street is a popular eatery and bar. However, they do have a band late into the evening that you can hear in your room.
• Monica (10/5): - Loved the whole thing from start to finish !! Tysm Joyce and Brad for all you do !!
• Melanie (10/5): Incredibly wonderful Icon! - I love this hotel and the fact that it has been a part of the Carolina Beach landscape for decades. The property is “vintagey” and they have done an amazing job at keeping up with this iconic part of CB. The cost is great for such a convenient and beautiful lication.
• Galina (4/5): - I reserved a room with an ocean view, and was given a room on the first floor with view of the next building wall. I asked to be given another room, "with the view". It turned out - there are NO rooms with ocean view, maybe with some glimpses of it, from the second floor. The property is not just old, it's ancient! The room door has the spaces between the door and the frame, the bathroom door could not be closed at all, as it's deformed from humidity and age. No hair dryer. But the worst was the bed - looks like a full size with a terrible mattress that gave both of us the back pain. Very noisy AC. The pool has a disgusting green slime in it, no wonder nobody was using it. The price though is not the cheapest in the area. $247 for a night in a shack is too steep. The staff is friendly and efficient though. No complaints about them.
• Philip (4/5): We didn't sleep at all - The property has an excellent location and is priced to match the accommodation level. The air conditioner was an older unit that should have been replaced a long time ago. Every time the unit cycled on the loudness would wake us up and keep us awake while it was running. The condition of the unit must have been known to management given that house keeping is in the room so frequently. We'll be returning to the area but staying elsewhere.
• John (10/5): Awesome stay! - I loved my stay at the SeaWitch Motel! Easy access to the beach and everything I wanted to go to was within walking distance. Never needed to move my car. The SeaWitch Tiki Bar across the street was an excellent experience. Really felt at home there. The staff is awesome and I will certainly stay there on my next Carolina Beach visit!
• jason (10/5): Fantastic - The staff were polite, professional, and very helpful. I will definitely will look to this establishment for further stays.
• ALEXANDER (10/5): STAFF - THE HOTEL STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL,WILL DEFINATELY RETURN
• Shana (10/5): - Room was large and clean with enough towels and other supplies. Ocean view, walk to beach and boardwalk. Convenient parking. Will definitely stay there again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The pictures online vs the room we were in did not match up but the room was quaint and what we needed. The bathroom and shower were not as clean as I would have liked but everything else was fine. Service was quick from the front desk and they were very kind. Great location and price.
• Heather (10/5): - We absolutely loved our weekend getaway at the SeaWitch. It’s adorable, cozy, and right on the beach. The only negative thing we could say is that the water pressure in the shower is subpar. 10/10 would definitely recommend and we plan to stay again in the future.
• McKenzie (10/5): - loved staying here!
• Jeanene Fitzgerald (6/5): Disappointed - The room was small. The bed had dog hair on it as well as the bathroom door. We had to check out a day earlier because of a family emergency. They would not offer a refund for that night. The website pictures were definitely deceptive. However the desk person was nice.
• Virginia (10/5): The Place for a Perfect Beach Trip - Staying at the SeaWitch Motel has become a family tradition of ours for going on six years now, and we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the location is perfect. Staying here gives you the ability to park your car when you arrive and not use it again until you leave, since everything you could possibly need is within walking distance. We love it and are already looking forward to our next visit:):)!!
• Beth (6/5): Not again - Great location but very basic accommodations. We had an upstairs room and the stairs were difficult. If you are looking for sparse good location then you will be okay. Would not stay there again.
• Margaret (10/5): - The location was perfect!
• MARGO DAVID (10/5): - Staff (Joyce) was wonderful and friendly and quick. Place was very clean, spacious, lovely views, conveniently located, pretty, comfortable, and updated. IF I had anything to change: power outlets nearer to beds. It needs shelf space in bathroom. Use unscented laundry detergent instead....smell was very strong, but not a bad one... just strong. It was a great place!
• Rochelle (8/5): Repeat visit - We love the Sea Witch. Haven't been in years and some of the updates were nicely done. Still a motel but nice. Window AC unit works well but is LOUD. Rooms are humid but tolerable like most beachy hotel/motels tend to be. Pool could use a total overhaul and the water was way too warm for how hot it was. Lots of smokers at the pool which sucks.
• timothy (2/5): Not ideal - When we arrived we found the room to be clean and as advertised. However the pool wasn’t in service due to algae build up. While the help was on site most of the time we never once received room service. We were asked twice once as a someone passed by our room if we needed help and the other time as someone was literally leaving the parking lot in their car. We were told the pool should be up and running on the second day of our stay however after the fourth day and our final day it was still out of service. While the ocean is a wonderful opportunity to get in the water on a hot day it’s expected that when you choose a place that you specifically want a pool for evening relaxation that’s what you expect. There was no warning given that the pool was out of service. Had we been informed of this we would have selected another place to stay
• David (6/5): - wasn't able to take advantage of the pool , it was out of service during our stay .
• Raymond (10/5): - Pool looks little cloudy and need cleaning in the pool daily and help it’s kill bacteria.
• Michael T (8/5): - Walk to beaches
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good place - Very good location and a nice cozy hotel.
• kevin (4/5): Bad room, worse service - The room had dirty sticky floors. The toilet was not bolted to floor and rocked really bad. Stained linens and blood on bathroom floor tile grout. Room air conditioner not drained and it leaked all over floor and wet my bags. Asked for a roll of toilet paper and 6 hours later still didn’t get any, went ahead and left the evening before checkout day.
• Kurt (8/5): - Really nice people work there. Overall it was a good experience if you’re not spending a lot of time in the room. The carpeting in our room looked good but it was apparently dirty and the bottom of our shoes and socks were evidence of that.
• Lisa (10/5): - The staff were amazing! They were all so friendly. Our room was very clean. Cafe & bar across the street & boardwalk close made food, drinks, and entertainment easy to get to. The walkway to the beach is right at the motel. I’d definitely stay here again.
• Matthew (10/5): Nice little hotel.... - Great place to stay at a great price. Love the location. Comfortable beds.
• Shannon (10/5): - We loved it there the room was very clean and close to everything
• Sarah (10/5): - The staff were extremely accommodating. Thank you Andrea and Heather for a wonderful experience! And thanks to housekeeping as well. The apartment was exceptionally clean!
• Patricia (10/5): - Loved the service. The place was beautifully remodeled. Nice access to boardwalk and beach.
• Tanya (10/5): - The best place I have ever stayed at.
• Shirley (8/5): - It was very comfortable as far as the bed and room. Close to everything since you can walk on boardwalk. Room didn't have tissues or hair dryer. Stairs were hard to climb. Staff was nice. Great because of location and for a single person who just needs a room that is clean to sleep. A/C was in window and barely kept the room cool. I guess it is good but very pricey. Had to ask for ice. Pool was ok. Door was very hard to open and close with key provided.
• jason (10/5): - we are happy and very convivences close to beach and to shop!!
• Angela (10/5): - Great location. Walkable to lots of restaurants and attractions
• David (10/5): - Staff was excellent. So friendly and accommodating.
• William (10/5): - It is an older property with a very unique set up. It has been taken very well care of. It was great for the price.
• David (10/5): Clean, great staff and all around a great place. - This was our first time staying at Seawitch Motel, and we will be back again! The place was really clean, rooms smelled good and cutely decorated. Staff was super accommodating and very friendly. Staff went above and beyond to show my daughter where the toys for the pool and beach were and made sure we had everything we needed and felt comfortable. We felt safe, and just had a great time. The pool was awesome, nice and warm to enjoy with seating. Even with it being memorial weekend it was quite. All good things, i definitely recommend staying here.
• Verified traveler (4/5): No Hot Water - There was no hot water in my room. The manager stated that they checked and the water was fine. I’m 63 years old I think I know how to turn the water on, they stated u turned the knob the wrong way

• Lexie (8/5): - The staff were very nice, the room was super cute, and it was conveniently located. Would definitely stay again.

• riley (10/5): - perfect beach access & friendly staff! cute little room
• Eric (4/5): - On the beach was great! The Inn was dirty, sheets dirty bathroom dirty, broken tiles on the floor, loud stomping above all night; no sleep. Very, very tiny accommodations.
• Lauren (10/5): - The SeaWitch Inn was perfect for our quick weekend trip to Carolina Beach! Easy walk to the beach and perfect location to walk to the bars, the Sea Witch is always our favorite to go out. The room was very clean and the staff was so kind. We would definitely stay here again!
• Kelly (8/5): - The room was updated, clean and nice. The bathroom was small and could use a shelf or something to put things on. The door lock to access the beach was old and needs to be replaced.
• Brian (6/5): - Property is small but fine. Restautant across the street plays music so loud nobody sleeps.
• zachary (10/5): - Property was clean, front desk was very friendly and checked us in easy and fast
• Savannah (10/5): Honeymoon - The rooms are updated and decorated so nice. Small, quaint and perfect for honeymoon.
• Brian (10/5): - Stayed many times before and it seems to always get better. Love the cleaning Lady, Super friendly and helpful.
• Karen (6/5): Cute room, late check in. - It was a cute little hotel. First impressions were great. The girl at check in was friendly. Rooms are nicely renovated, however, our room was not ready until 5:30 and our friends room was 6:30. When you're only staying one night this was quite late. They did apologize for the late readiness but it doesn't matter when you have one night.
