Dry dock inn
Pictures are a bit deceptive, not very clean we had makeup on the shower curtain, bed spread was dirty and needed changing, beds were horrible to sleep on( mattress's sucked) pool was open until 9 we arrived at a little after 7 both pools were full of sand. We did contact the host and they got back to us promptly said they would change out the dirty things at 9 am the next day not acceptable. Will not stay again and couldn’t wait to leave this morning . I went off the photos and reviews WOW!!

Staying cool at Dry Dock!
My friend and I wanted to do a quick getaway and were lucky to find a 2-bed unit at the Dry Dock Inn in Carolina Beach. We were pleased to doscover two parking lots and two pools—one of each was close to our assigned room. The public beach access is also a short walk and has a convenient ramp! The room was spacious and included basic amenities; however, there were very few hooks to hang wet beach/bath towels and only one dresser in the main living space instead of the separate bedroom. It would be great to have more hooks! The door lock malfunctioned on our second day but the front desk staff was helpful with providing a temporary code. One hint to future renters: bring CASH if you plan to visit CB ice cream shops!! Fortunately, the Italian Ice vendor on the beach accepts digital payments like Venmo, Apple Pay, etc.
