There was beach access but it's not the "ocean" which should be clearer. The small private "beach" has at least 3 signs stating "Alligator Habitat' and I think that should be clearer as well if you know there will be children staying. The property was a nice motel room which and very clean. We did have to take the 20 min ride to Oak Island both days we were there for the beach and it was beautiful. Good space if you don't mind driving to the beach.
We had wonderful responsive owners they were the best! The location is great for people more interested in Southport but if you want better quicker access to the beach I think staying over the bridge is bettter and driving into Southport. Again property owners were wonderful helped us with a couple of our needs and went out of their way. Thanks so much!
We stayed one night on our way to a wedding. The hosts were very responsive and even let us know that we could check in early because the condo was ready. We hope to be able to visit Southport again soon!
We came for the weekend to celebrate my daughter's completion of her doctorate. What a fabulous stay! Our condo had absolutely everything we needed and more! Comfortable, clean, and the short walk into town was a breeze!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Southport area, and this condo made a perfect home base for the two of us. We enjoyed our walks to the waterfront and downtown, the proximity to Oak Island for beach walks, and convenience for the ferries to Fort Fisher and Bald Head Island. The hosts were very responsive and friendly in our communications.
Location to the town and it shops and restaurants was very convenient. Resources in the room met the needs of our stay. Elevator made it easy and convenient to get to the rooms. We enjoyed getting a glimpse of the small beach area when we walked to the back of the building.
The room is very clean and the decor is lovely. It is outfitted with all you may need and the owners are very accommodating and helpful. The beds are amazing! I don't think I've stayed on a more comfortable bed. The community areas are very nice and access to the private beach is easy. Being just down the road from the heart of Southport made our short stay worth it. The restaurants and shops were plenty for us to do and the views from the public park were phenomenal.The reason I am giving our stay 4 stars instead of 5 is because the elevator was not working (we needed that for my Mom), but our host did try to accommodate us when he learned about the broken elevator. He offered us another room in the same complex, but we chose not to move for other reasons outside of our control. We also had issues getting into the room the second day due to a malfunction with the digital door lock. Luckily, there was a backup key, but we had issues locking the door with it when we left. The humidity was high outside and the air conditioner was cooling, but it had trouble keeping the humidity out of the room. Outside of those issues, we had a great stay.
Nice tidy condo. Pool, small prvt beach and deck were perfect for us. Easy parking. Elevator a bonus
We love the town of Southport but were just as happy to stay around the condo and enjoy the amenities. And the live music on Thursday evening was a nice touch. Just needed dish towels and place mats. And a mixing bowl or two! Full size fridge and 2 burner stove top along with the coffee maker and toaster oven weâre all we needed! Thanks for the coffee and the beach towels and little cooler too!
Canât say much about the dinky deck overlooking the parking lot. Good for drying swimsuits if the wind isnât too fierceđ
Overall a sweet place for 2. Good work!
This was an extension to our Stay at this Condo! The Host made sure everything went smoothly and there was no in-convenience at all! We were provided all the extra necessities with no problems! Great communication throughout!
This Unit within River Hotel Southport exceeded our expectations! From the initial Communication with Booking, Extending our Stay, to ease of Check-Out, everything went smoothly. The Unit itself is clean, modern, fully furnished and stocked abundantly! The location to Downtown Southport is ideal. This specific Hotel, although, Iâd look at it more as a Resort, has a Private âBeachâ area, Pool, huge water-front deck, and lots of weekly Activities to offer. This Unit has a nice balcony with water views. The area is somewhat secluded and quiet. The Host had lots of added amenities to start your Stay such as coffee, snacks and treats that were a nice touch. Something that is rare- the TV offered local Cable, as well as, access to the Smart TV for all your favorite Apps! Would definitely recommend and visit again!
The property was clean and exactly as described...we had a lovely time at the pool and enjoying the waves just steps away. Would definitely come back:)
We came to NC for a long weekend for a wedding. We found this condo online, and decided this was what we needed for our short stay! The condo was very clean, and well taken care of! Everything was in good shape, and we had no complaints!
Well Iâve always wanted to stay here but I could never make it work until this past week. When you enter the room you automatically feel at peace (or I did ). The place was clean and they provided everything you would need to get started. They so left little goodies! And this has to be the easiest check out ever! Great communication with the owners. Would definitely stay her again.
We have stayed at the hotel here before and liked it. Now we found this condo at the hotel and loved it. It had a cute vibe. The facility is waterfront but you get a peekaboo view from this unit. Great location.
