Guest Reviews

• Paul (10/5): - Nastalga
• stacey (2/5): - Booked here through Expedia a week in advance and received my confirmation. Very excited, we did tons of research on the property. I decided to call the hotel the day before our arrival only to find out Expedia overbooked. We had no room. This did not ruin our stay but definitely disappointing. We had to stay in a dump to say the least. We made the best of it. The owners really didn’t seem concerned that this happened. They seemed like it had happened before. Gave me a bad taste for this place. I hope they remember vacations are special and we chose their place. Kindness would have went a long way.
• Richard (6/5): - It just was not what I was expecting.
• James (10/5): - Historic building with beautiful furnishings, updated bathroom fixtures. Rooms are more like individual bedrooms with ample common areas, bed and breakfast feel. Will definitely return in the future!
• Andrew (2/5): - Was no instructions. Or front desk staff. Needed code for front door. No instructions
• Stephanie (10/5): - Amazing! Definitely staying again!
• Julie (8/5): - Contactless check in, nice, quiet place with old Fl charm. Small town charm, no chain restaurants
• Linda (10/5): - This old home was very charming. We enjoyed the wrap around balcony and the BOOKS! The owners have done a great job restoring it. We enjoyed all the pictures. Carabelle was a lovely little town to explore old Florida. Hope it never gets invaded by developers.
• vicky (2/5): - Expedia charged for a room that was not available, no vacancies, so we can not give an opinion or review
• Dennis (10/5): - Very nice quaint hotel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable, clean room.Well-maintained hotel. Convenient.
• Thomas (10/5): - Very nice property and our second stay here.
• Muriel E (8/5): - Quaint facility nice and private. One thing was unusual is I was contacted by staff person Skip asking if I knew how Venetian blind was unable to be opened. We never tried to open it during our stay. I was asked if a child was jumping on the bed near blind. There were 3 adults in our party and my 90 year old mother in law slept on that bed. Otherwise we enjoyed Carrabelle and our stay.
• Robert (10/5): - It was like being in a creepy movie which was perfect for me. Check in instructions were in the mail box outside the front door. Not a single person was in sight during my entire stay. That was nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The old hotel was cute and the owners had obviously spent a lot of time making it nice. My stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I would book the hotel again.
• trudy (8/5): - Very unique. Could have supplied glasses for drinks and ceramic cups for coffee
• Michelle (6/5): - It was unique, a little too cluttered for my liking, which makes it seem not as clean. The bed was comfortable. It was self check in, so we never saw anyone, which wasn’t all bad. The process was easy.
• chris (10/5): 2 thumbs up - Very nice quiet 2 story historic house converted into a hotel. Very clean. Within walking distance to several restaurants. One of the nicest hotel experiences my wife and I have had.
• Sampath (10/5): - My wife and I usually stay at Hampton Inn across USA, because it’s a known business model with properties having comfortable rooms with great free breakfast. This boutique property, The Old Carrabelle Hotel, measures upto that standard of cleanliness. On top of it, the rooms are cozy, but a bit small though. The bathrooms are actually big and the shower was a delight. More importantly, we could flip a switch and make coffee and tea in the hallway, and relax in a long beautiful front balcony that extends pretty much around the house. That sure beats any Hampton Inn property. This property is several decades old and it’s a big task to maintain it to function that well. Our compliments to the owners. Breakfast was coupon based, and we could order anything we wanted, discounted to $7 each, in a two minute walkable pastry and sandwich shop. We could go anytime of the day with the coupons ! To be fair to Hampton Inn properties, we did miss the beautiful lounges and front end hallways they have. But why not enjoy a little piece of heaven by giving those things up?
• Kenneth (6/5): To Much Heat! - Property needs minor repairs and paint. Heat was basically on all night, we had to open windows because it was so hot in the room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This property was very historic and full of interesting memorabilia. Very comfortable and friendly.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The room was great very cute and the bathroom is huge. I stayed in the Magnolia room. As someone who enjoys history this is a great place to stay. Very close to everything. The owners are very helpful as well. Also very clean.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - No elevator but interesting history of Carabelle upstairs of the wooden stairways & downstairs. Note was given @main entrance. No one was at the front desk to welcome or departure. It may be due to COV-19. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay for 1 nite.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We were the only ones to stay the night we where there. So it was a little spooky at night. Loved the rap a around porch.
• Donald (10/5): A clean, comfortable stay! - Great little historic hotel in a quaint little town within walking distance to the famous “World’s Smallest Police Station”. Booked the smallest room though hotels.com and, because their calendars aren’t sync’ed it happened the room was occupied but, even though the owner was out of town, he worked it out with us over the phone and got us into the largest room at a discount! Skip was a fantastic host and I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet. The property was very clean and comfortable and had fun relics decorating the property and we would definitely stay here if we ever find ourselves in Carabelle again. The Captain’s Quarters is actually the bedroom and bathroom and end of the hallway blocked off with room divider screen. It’s all very private though since it’s at the end of the hall. The only real issue we had was thinking the water heater wasn’t working because it took so long for it to heat up. And even then it never got too far past what I would call warm. Other than that, the one bed was kinda squeaky but we didn’t use that one. And I guess if you’re a light sleeper, which I am not, the sound of the occasional car/truck that drives by could be a problem because it was kinda loud and people seem to treat the road like a speedway. 99.9% of the time it was nice and quiet, even with the other rooms being occupied. The breakfast voucher was a nice perk. Spent it at the super-cool little Carabelle Junction right down the road. Good food, nice owner, great place.
• Ray (8/5): - Very tastefully decorated and comfortable! The owner was there 1 of the days and never introduced himself to us. Very disappointed he didn't seem to want to introduce himself. Just seemed a little rude.
• Trachelle (8/5): Clean room, nice stay. - Comfortable stay. The room was clean. There was a shared small refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. The BnB style hotel provided breakfast vouchers to several restaurants in Carrabelle which were very good.
• Leslie (10/5): Carrabelle romantic getaway - Loved it!
• scott (10/5): Great getaway - Was a great stay it I was to complain about anything it would be the mattress in my room was to hard in hemmigway room and kk all american grill was who took the breakfast certificate s from hotel.
• Blaine (8/5): - A quaint bed and breakfast inn, with easy access to beaches and local area due to location. Easy check in and out with nice, quiet accommodations.
• Sara (10/5): Captain’s Quarters is awesomeness! - I arrived in the early afternoon. I’m so glad I did because I got to enjoy the house and porch. Thank you for a wonderful place to relax and sleep!
• Angela (10/5): - Great and very quiet
• Jan (4/5): - We only had the room for 1 night (thankfully!). The atmosphere was nice. The room was just that, a room with personal bathroom. There was a refrigerator at the top of the stairs with coffee pot but no amenities in the room. My biggest complaint was the bed was hard and lumpy and so were the pillows. But the breakfast voucher we used at KK’s All American Canteen got us a very delicious meal! The town was absolutely delightful! Just stay some place else!
• Renee (8/5): Quaint - Lots of historical memorabilia to explore throughout. Very comfortable bed. Quiet. Quaint. Not within walking distance of anything.
• Pam (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay. It’s like an old family home. I love the convenience of the location and it was extremely quite. Breakfast was a card that you receive at checkin (in your envelope) you could use at several local restaurants. We chose K & K’s and it was delicious and the staff there were so friendly and attentive. Great little town.
• Don (10/5): A wonderful experience - This was the perfect place for us. The room was small but absolutely comfortable. Quiet, private and inexpensive.
• Paula (10/5): - Never saw the owners but the room was comfortable, there was coffee available and the shower worked great. Those are my three requirements for a comfortable stay and they passed on all three.
• Cheryl (10/5): - Not actually a B&B, self check in, no staff on sight. Given vouchers to go to breakfast which wasn’t bad because we walked and it gave us the opportunity to see the town. It’s great for the overnight traveler but we had reservations for four nights. We stayed in the Hemingway which was decorated very nicely. All in All it was comfortable but as stated only for a short stay
• James (10/5): Nice old hotel - It was a really nice old hotel with all the modern conveniences I needed. I liked the self check-in. Wish I could have stayed longer.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Charming old hotel with lots of character! Very fun.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful old hotel full of unique features and fittings. If you are a modernist or minimalist only then this is not for you!
• Mirta (10/5): - The most wonderful experience!!!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very easy self check-in. Good location, walking distance to all needs. Felt safe. Love the old charm of the hotel. I would stay again. 😊
• Verified traveler (6/5): - I love the quick check in and the rooms. I love the nice bathroom in Hemingway room. My biggest problem is with the lack of control of the heating in cooling in the rooms. Our first night was a little cold. Our second night was a little too warm for comfort.
• Emma (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Carrabelle. The hotel is charming and Skip and Kathy were the perfect hosts and great to speak to - couldn’t recommend highly enough!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was so cute, just like you would think a small town Inn would be. Loved it!! Skip and Kathy were right there anytime we needed something. They are sweet as pie just like the town. We will be back again and will be staying in this place every time we go.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice old home. Managers helpful. Breakfast at rest. With voucher on Sunday morning not too many open in small town.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Okay for one night... - The Old Carrabelle Hotel was okay for one night. We stayed in the “Captain’s Quarters” downstairs unit that despite the owner’s attempt at creating privacy between bathroom & bedroom by adding a folding screen, I was uncomfortable walking between the two & knowing that anyone could just walk into & potentially use our bathroom when we weren’t there. The beds were comfortable & we did appreciate frig/microwave option set up in hallway outside room. Bathroom wasn’t very clean (baseboards were filthy) & fan cords were out of reach so couldn’t be adjusted. Towels were rough & no hand towel was provided.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Never saw an actual person, but check in instructions simple and easy to follow. We were given card for two breakfast meals but neither place was open, so we could not use them. Bathroom very large, bedroom lil tight. Would stay again
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Check-in was very easy. It was a quaint, lovely house. Every detail was taken care of. You had your room and bathroom, but had access to the living room and dining room, just like at home. I highly recommend.
• Timothy (10/5): - Most welcoming and relaxing stay of my vacation! Cant say enough good things.
