A great find.

It was so great having a place so close to town. The full kitchen is a HUGE PLUS FOR ME. Cleaning staff super. Front desk gals so welcoming. Love having the pool and a beach by me. Planning a trip every year.

Loved that they have daily housekeeping. It’s completely renovated so everything is up to date. The private pier was a great place to hang out. Will always live Southport for this experience despite my boyfriend and I breaking up during our stay. Or maybe because of it?

A wonderful hotel in a beautiful setting on the River. Heather was wonderful with many recommendations for dinner and so much information. The room was very beautiful and comfortable. We LOVED the elevator as my husband had just had surgery! We enjoyed sitting on the "river beach." My one and only complaint is the gnats that come out in the evening on the beach and no one can fix that! lol! We just loved our stay and will be back!

Lovely place. Nice view of the river and outdoor seating. Issues with the elevator, but only 2 floors so not a major drawback unless climbing stairs is an issue.
