All rooms are oceanfront, which feels like being gifted a slice of paradise every time I swallow my morning coffee while watching the waves crash—better than a postcard! The beds were cozier than a pile of kittens and offered plenty of support for my tired back after a long beach day.

Outdated bathroom fixtures

Staying here was a fantastic experience! The oceanfront views from my room were stunning, perfect for watching dolphins. While the housekeeping could improve, the friendly staff and easy beach access made this a memorable trip. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities for beachgoers.

Gorgeous oceanfront views from all rooms, updated and clean accommodations, direct beach access for guests

More consistent housekeeping would be appreciated!!! !!! Hot water availability in the mornings definitely needs improvement!!! Wi-Fi connectivity issues were frustrating!!! Elevator problems can be scary!!!

The oceanfront views from my room were fine. Beach access was super easy, and I enjoyed complimentary beach chair service. The staff was friendly and attentive I appreciated the mini fridge in my Beautiful Double Room for snacks. It was a relaxing stay! 🌊

Oceanfront views provide a spectacular backdrop for morning coffee or evening relaxation on the balcony. The quick beach access means you're practically on the sand within moments, ideal for spontaneous sunbathing or surf.

The air conditioning setup needs attention, as it blows directly onto one bed, creating an uncomfortable draft. Bathrooms are cramped, lacking a tub, which may not suit families with younger kids, and the shower curtain could use weights to prevent it from sticking. Even more concerning, there was a mishap with room keys being double issued to another family, raising safety concerns that lingered during my stay.

The oceanfront views from our room were absolutely stunning! Every morning, we enjoyed breakfast on our small balcony with the sound of waves in the background. The grassy area behind the hotel provided a lovely spot for relaxing, complete with comfortable lounge chairs and a wonderful atmosphere for picnics. The staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable, making our stay delightful.

Limited dining options.

i recently stayed at this hotel for valentine's day and it truly exceeded my expectations! the oceanfront views from our room were breathtaking and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, just like my previous visit to pine knoll shores. the hot tub was perfect for relaxation after a fun day at the beach.

the elevators were unreliable.

The beach access was so close that it felt like my feet were practically in the sand before I had even finished my morning coffee! The view from the oceanfront balcony was stunning—perfect for dolphin-watching while sipping cocktails that were as refreshing as a summer breeze. The staff was friendlier than a pack of puppies, always ready to help or chat.

Stunning oceanfront views and friendly staff

My stay was fantastic! The oceanfront views from my balcony were breathtaking and the access to the beach was effortless. The staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, making my experience even more enjoyable. However, the limited dining options and some maintenance issues slightly impacted my overall satisfaction.

would book here again

The room had a stunning oceanfront view from the balcony, making coffee in the morning a treat with waves rolling in. The bed was super comfy and the fridge was perfect for keeping snacks. Easy access to the beach meant I could relax on the provided lounge chairs. The staff were really friendly and welcoming throughout my stay.

Rooms had stunning ocean views, but the refrigerator was not cleaned properly.

beautiful beach access, lovely amenities

my stay at crystal coast oceanfront hotel was unforgettable with the stunning oceanfront room, where i savored gorgeous sunrises, and enjoyed the tiki bar just steps away on the beach. also, the friendly staff made my visit delightful.

The oceanfront view from my room stole the show. I loved sipping morning coffee on the balcony, watching the waves roll in. Having direct access to the beach was fantastic. The staff were super friendly, always eager to help with a smile. The pool area felt inviting and was clean, perfect for some fun in the sun. However, the restaurant was closed during my stay. That felt like a big letdown since I was looking forward to dining there. Also, the air conditioning unit in the room was noisy, making it tough to get a good night's sleep. I hoped for a little more from the housekeeping. they only came in to replace towels and empty trash but didn’t do a thorough clean. Despite these hiccups, my time there felt relaxing overall.

great views but some dining disappointments

The hotel was immaculate, making our stay comfortable. We enjoyed seeing dolphins from our bed, a unique experience that really made our mornings special.

We were disappointed when the restaurant was out of several menu items during dinner one night.
