Carr Mansion is a historic, character-filled B&B where many guests praise the welcoming host and comfortable, charming rooms, while others note signs of wear and occasional maintenance issues alongside inconsistent breakfast availability, especially on non-weekend stays.
The location is described as convenient to the Strand and beach and generally quiet, though a few guests found it less walkable and one mentioned safety concerns. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms to complaints about dirty floors and outdated or worn interiors. Expect a historic stay with warm hospitality and some variability in upkeep and breakfast.

The Carr Mansion is a beautiful bed and breakfast but the security of the home is not the best. We walked right in mid afternoon (because of a baby shower event) and continued directly to the room without any assistance. We expected an adult-only, quiet, romantic vibe and walked into chaos. Despite that, the room was beautiful and I really enjoyed it.

Greeted promptly, host was super friendly and recommended a great spot for breakfast (thanks, sunflower bakery was EXCELLENT). It is a very cool old house but definitely in need of maintenance which the owner is working on. The room was comfortable even if not exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the standalone tub and there was plenty of hot water. The day we chose to stay there wasnt breakfast provided (maybe more of a weekend thing?) But the host had tons of snacks and a very well stocked tea and coffee bar. We did like how quiet it was there and appreciated it being a 21+ property. Not walking distance to the main attractions on the island but a straight shot driving wise getting around. Overall we enjoyed our night there.

We arrived for check-in and were greeted by the manager. She showed us the details of the room like the airco/heater. Our room was clean, beautiful, charming, and filled with antiques. It was like staying at a wealthy uncle and aunt's house. I thought a lot about the history of the house and wondered who might have been to parties there a hundred years ago. The neighborhood was quiet, and pretty close to the Strand and the beach. We'd definitely stay there again.

Unique place. Rundown but they are trying to restore I think? Doorknob literally fell off when we turned it. Their dogs are running around inside so you have to be careful to not let them out. No shower or blow dryer in the room. Floors filthy and I got a burr in my foot trying to step into the bathtub to rinse my feet off! Lighting terrible unless you open curtains to look out on balcony that is falling apart. Buffet breakfast we were told to be there at 9:30 (several times) at 9:50 we were served a plate with a waffle, a couple of berries, and a sausage link. No buffet! Tea or coffee to drink. Not even regular water or ice. My partner ate both of our plates since I don’t eat waffles or sausage or drink tea or coffee and the waffle was tiny. I would have been fine with water & toast but not available. For the price I could have stayed anywhere else and been far happier. The location was ok but still had to drive to the beach, shopping, cruise terminal, and it was not a safe neighborhood.

Beautiful spacious and inviting classic house! Our hostess was outstanding, very friendly and accommodating. The room we stayed in was “The Preacher” and it was outstanding. Very large, comfortable with an incredible bed and a 7 foot claw foot soaking tub. Breakfast was delicious! Belgian waffles with fresh fruit, juice and coffee.

The house is from the late 1800s so you're staying in a piece of history. Loved that. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed in the Honeymoon room, which has a king size bed. It was roomy and quaint. The bed is super high but they provide steps to climb on (I'm short so I did use them!) AC works great. Noise from outside might be an issue for very light sleepers. There was an alarm clock on the nightstand that went off in the middle of the night. I should have mentioned it to the hostess but failed to do so. That should be removed (cell phone apps render it completely unnecessary).

Unfortunately the room we reserved was given to another couple so of course my girlfriend was disappointed since it’s not a motel 6 where all the rooms are the same…she searched for 2 days until she found The Honeymoon suite and she loved it but of course it was given to another couple. We were assigned The Preacher which was the opposite of what she was looking for. It was nice though…just very underwhelming after I realized I spent $303 on one night for a room we didn’t reserve.

This was a special occasion anniversary trip. While the house is lovely and the hostess is very personable, the Breakfast part of the Bed and Breakfast was very disappointing. The Hotels.com ad talks about the amazing breakfast but fails to mention it is only available Saturday and Sunday. What was provided to us Thursday morning rivals Super 8. We even had to bring bottles of water down from the room for the Keurig. Had we known that there was no real breakfast, we would have booked somewhere else.

Unique place. Rundown but they are trying to restore I think? Doorknob literally fell off when we turned it. Their dogs are running around inside so you have to be careful to not let them out. No shower or blow dryer in the room. Floors filthy and I got a burr in my foot trying to step into the bathtub to rinse my feet off! Lighting terrible unless you open curtains to look out on balcony that is falling apart. Buffet breakfast we were told to be there at 9:30 (several times) at 9:50 we were served a plate with a waffle, a couple of berries, and a sausage link. No buffet! Tea or coffee to drink. Not even regular water or ice. My partner ate both of our plates since I don’t eat waffles or sausage or drink tea or coffee and the waffle was tiny. I would have been fine with water & toast but not available. For the price I could have stayed anywhere else and been far happier. The location was ok but still had to drive to the beach, shopping, cruise terminal, and it was not a safe neighborhood.

Not even regular water or ice. My partner ate both of our plates since I don’t eat waffles or sausage or drink tea or coffee and the waffle was tiny. I would have been fine with water & toast but not available. For the price I could have stayed anywhere else and been far happier. The location was ok but still had to drive to the beach, shopping, cruise terminal, and it was not a safe neighborhood.

It is always nice to stay in an 'old" house. I adore antique architecture. It was easy walking to and from the location. The staff was helpful and gave me material to support the reason I was traveling. I loved the bed! High, great night sleep, the blanket was snugly! I think that the rooms are a bit overpriced. The decorations are functional but did not have the attention/cuteness factor that I am used to in a place like this. Everything I walked to was down from the house...I wish it was just a bit closer to the events I wanted to see. I would still consider stay at this location again - but in a different room. One more suited to my taste.

Greeted promptly, host was super friendly and recommended a great spot for breakfast (thanks, sunflower bakery was EXCELLENT). It is a very cool old house but definitely in need of maintenance which the owner is working on. The room was comfortable even if not exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the standalone tub and there was plenty of hot water. The day we chose to stay there wasnt breakfast provided (maybe more of a weekend thing?) But the host had tons of snacks and a very well stocked tea and coffee bar. We did like how quiet it was there and appreciated it being a 21+ property. Not walking distance to the main attractions on the island but a straight shot driving wise getting around. Overall we enjoyed our night there.

We arrived for check-in and were greeted by the manager. She showed us the details of the room like the airco/heater. Our room was clean, beautiful, charming, and filled with antiques. It was like staying at a wealthy uncle and aunt's house. I thought a lot about the history of the house and wondered who might have been to parties there a hundred years ago. The neighborhood was quiet, and pretty close to the Strand and the beach. We'd definitely stay there again.

The house is from the late 1800s so you're staying in a piece of history. Loved that. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed in the Honeymoon room, which has a king size bed. It was roomy and quaint. The bed is super high but they provide steps to climb on (I'm short so I did use them!) AC works great. Noise from outside might be an issue for very light sleepers. There was an alarm clock on the nightstand that went off in the middle of the night. I should have mentioned it to the hostess but failed to do so. That should be removed (cell phone apps render it completely unnecessary).

Check-in is at 3:00 and we arrived at 11:00 AM just hoping to go through the check-in process but we were able to pay for the room, drop our bags off and get the key so this saved us a lot of time. The host is great and provided an excellent breakfast and service!

Had a fantastic stay! Will definitely make this a regular visit. The breakfast was phenomenal and the conversation and comraderie we built with Joey was more than we could have imagined.

Beautiful spacious and inviting classic house! Our hostess was outstanding, very friendly and accommodating. The room we stayed in was “The Preacher” and it was outstanding. Very large, comfortable with an incredible bed and a 7 foot claw foot soaking tub. Breakfast was delicious! Belgian waffles with fresh fruit, juice and coffee.

Unique place. Rundown but they are trying to restore I think? Doorknob literally fell off when we turned it. Their dogs are running around inside so you have to be careful to not let them out. No shower or blow dryer in the room. Floors filthy and I got a burr in my foot trying to step into the bathtub to rinse my feet off! Lighting terrible unless you open curtains to look out on balcony that is falling apart. Buffet breakfast we were told to be there at 9:30 (several times) at 9:50 we were served a plate with a waffle, a couple of berries, and a sausage link. No buffet! Tea or coffee to drink. Not even regular water or ice. My partner ate both of our plates since I don’t eat waffles or sausage or drink tea or coffee and the waffle was tiny. I would have been fine with water & toast but not available. For the price I could have stayed anywhere else and been far happier. The location was ok but still had to drive to the beach, shopping, cruise terminal, and it was not a safe neighborhood.

This was a special occasion anniversary trip. While the house is lovely and the hostess is very personable, the Breakfast part of the Bed and Breakfast was very disappointing. The Hotels.com ad talks about the amazing breakfast but fails to mention it is only available Saturday and Sunday. What was provided to us Thursday morning rivals Super 8. We even had to bring bottles of water down from the room for the Keurig. Had we known that there was no real breakfast, we would have booked somewhere else.

Very nice bed and breakfast. The hotel was very original to period. It does truly have a water-closet with the toilet. So if you’re large framed, you’re not gonna fit. Also, there was a bathtub in the middle of the room in the open. So if you have any modesty, forget it.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Carr Mansion! This historical home was charming, clean, and comfortable. Joellyn was a fabulous host; she served delicious breakfast and offered several tips/ recommendations for activities around the island. The location of the home is near to several other historical landmarks/ museums, the Strand, and the Seawall. We highly recommend booking a stay at the Carr Mansion for a relaxing trip with a home-like feel that typical hotels just can’t match. We will be back!
