    Memorial Weekend 2013

    May 27, 2013

    We were very impressed with the service - so friendly but not intrusive. Our hosts went out of thier way to make our stay best ever. We had not packed for the beach so they lent us thier own equipment to make up our deficit. We are both gluten free, so our hosts went to extraordinary lengths to acquire and test gluten free options. Delicious food and locally roasted coffee to die for! Very comfy bed and room. We will definitely be back soon!

    April Getaway

    April 20, 2013

    We loved the boarding house feel to Beacon House and Mike's great breakfasts. The B&B was located away from the commercial area, quiet at night, and with a pretty vacant road, made it enjoyable to walk in the evening. The beach was easily accessible and the early morning beach walkers were sparse as well. We have already recommended Beacon House to other travelers we have met since leaving Carolina Beach.

    The place in the Beach!

    October 20, 2012

    Don't overlook the pleasures of being this close to the beach and to be able to have plentiful parking (for guests) so close to your room. We loved every bit of the stay. Mike and the staff went out of their way to answer questions, although to be honest, they covered just about everything in their literature and arrival chat. They are doing it RIGHT!

    Great stay on the first day of Fall!

    September 24, 2012

    My wife had to take a test in Wilmington on Saturday so we figured we would stay the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. We really wanted to stay on the ocean but found most place on the river. By chance I found Beacon House and am so happy I did! We stayed in the pineapple room which is bigger than the pictures make it look. It was so comfortable and romantic. The breakfast was great and the hosts were too!
