We are not fancy people, just average middle of the road. We honestly don't expect granite countertops or flat screen TV's...and we don't complain much, honestly..but this place was a dump. The pool was filthy..had sand, dirt and bugs in it every day we were there, which was a week. Many of the air conditoning units were dripping onto the balcony and rusty and old. Our room was supposed to have a so called kitchen in it, but the fridge was micro small. There was s sign on the wall that said anyone who leaves dirty dishes would be charged. I had to wash all the dishes our first day there, had spots all over them. Under the sink was where most of the dishes were stored and they were filthy, not to mention it was caving in under there. Our bathroom door could not even be closed, the door jam had a big problem. Every time I tried to unlock room door from outside, it took me a good minute of struggling to get it unlocked with the old key they gave us. The door knob came off. We had no chairs for the shared balcony outside our room. There were drunks hanging out all over the shared balcony. The pool area was covered in cigg. butts and the beach had them all over too, not to mention my husband almost stepped on a broken beer bottle. The room phone rang one morning starting at 4 AM, when I would answer no one would be on the other end, this continued for at least an hour to the point I had to unplug the phone. The power to our room went out almost daily. The only good thing I can say about this place is the maids were nice and helpful and courtious. The price was wayyy to high for what you got here. Honestly.. I am telling you the truth.. don't stay here, pay a little more and stay someplace nicer. We also had to park across the street on numerous occasions due to the super small parking lot...the place is about to fall down.. old and dumpy. Reminded me of an old hotel where men stay when they go on fishing trips.. no place for a vacation! Trust me.. don't stay here.

keep in mind you get what ya pay for. if you want clean sheets daily you have to ask they dont wash them daily just as you wouldnt at home to save energy. our family went on a road trip in 2008 we happened by this palce and decided to check it out. i am so glad that we did. it might not be the most update place but for being beachfront and having a pool it didnt break the bank. later in 2008 my now husband proposed to me. i knew just the place i wanted to get married so we took another trip to this hotel and got married. the staff was very helpful and and us feel like we were family to them. it very kid friendly and clean.

The Oceaneer Motel was a very good motel. I loved the location! I walked out my door and could walk straight to the beach. It was close to all the attractions. The room was neat and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The pool was nice, but we stayed on the beach most of the time. The mattress and sheets were clean. It is a small motel nothing fancy, but I would recommend this motel to anyone. We had a light bulb out and within two minutes it was fixed. To me it was perfect. This was my little girl's first time to the beach and my first time to Carolina Beach and we had a great time. The next time we are down that way we are staying at the Oceaneer.

We stayed Labor day weekend and it was perfict, the weather and the our choice of motel. The Oceaneer Motel is the perfict place to stay, if you want to be close to the oceanfront. It is great for a family with children, or just a couple looking for a great getaway. The service was good, they even gave us change for the ice machine, and gave us extra pillows when we asked. The office staff are nice and friendly, and I was always greeted with a smile. They offer discounts when you stay 2 or more nights. They have a great pool for swimming, and it was clean! We have stayed a couple of other times and were always glade we did, and we will be repeat visitors. We are looking forward for a weekend in October, a great time for fishing, and they are not to far from the pier. A major plus this trip was that we booked our room in advance and were given a room on the second floor, my husbands misstake, because our oldest son is Autistic and has trouble with stairs, when we checked in they had a room on the bottom floor, and they gladly gave us it. They were really nice about it. I would recamend them to all my friends and anyone that would ask.
