“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway. Since we were there in off season we had the whole house to ourselves and the beach was practically empty! Beach access is just right across the street, just about a 15 minute drive into Wilmington, and the house is very nice. The den is set up with tv/dvd player and board games, and we stayed in the room with the jacuzzi tub which was nice and relaxing. The innkeepers were friendly and the breakfast was amazing! We would certainly stay here again!

“Pictures Look Great, but....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

The for sale sign in the front yard should have been a clue. We've stayed in B & B's all over the world, but this was just a house where someone decided to rent rooms. It was clean, but rundown. In order to register, we walked through the laundry room to the kitchen. Upgrades had been made to the house, but they were poorly done, e.g., the large sink console in the bathroom. The $169 price was deceptive. This is definitely low end. If we had paid $88, we would not have been surprised at what we found.

This reviewer actually has several valid points. We are most definitely a house that is renting rooms-- which is typically the definition of a bed and breakfast. We are in fact, an original 1950's boarding "house" and not a new or luxury hotel in any way. We have made many upgrades to the building, but because we are a historic property there are sometimes architectural challenges and not everything can be done as seamlessly as if one was dealing with a property built more recently. The laundry is located off the back of the kitchen and because our parking is also located off the rear of the house, guests do sometimes enter through this entrance to find the Innkeepers as they are usually inside working. I'm sorry this was a disappointment but it's the way the building is laid out and can't be changed. What we do offer is fantastic service and breakfasts (which I think is clearly stated in prior reviews), excellent proximity to the beach and clean, cozy rooms in an atmosphere where you can truly relax. If you are looking for luxury accommodations and only modern, high end appointments in your room--then this is not the bed and breakfast for you. Our rates are very competitive with other accommodations in the area that offer our same amenities and while it's not perfect--our B&B offers a charm and character that most guests truly appreciate-- that you simply can't find at newer, cookie cutter hotels.

“Great room; wonderful breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

I only spent one night there but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The room was very clean and comfortable and the beach is within short walking distance. Noah and Charlotte were very welcoming and breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend Beacon House if you are close to Carolina Beach.

Room Tip: If you are going "in season" and are a light sleeper, ask for a room toward the back of th...

“Girlfriend Getaway...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

person found this review helpful

My best friend and I spent this past weekend at The Beacon House for our first annual Girlfriend Getaway. Noah and Charlotte left NO detail unnoticed; from the gift basket in our room filled with chocolate, magazines, movies we requested, and soda, to the girft certificate waiting for us at the restaurant that we chose, and the massages that were wonderful!! Charlotte"s breakfasts were amazing and the overall experience was more than we could have ever expected! we will definately be repeating this weekend next year and I CAN'T wait!
Thank you again Noah and Charlotte for making this such a great weekend- hope to see you soon!
