The staff here was extremely organized and friendly. I had an issue with the toilet in my room and at 3:00 am helped me with this. They also assisted me in getting a unit with more room for us. Love this place.
Really friendly staff with clear and useful communication. They had good recommendations for restaurants and places to see. Super convenient location and a great price for a last minute, holiday weekend trip. They had bikes to borrow and water for us in the fridge after a hot hot day. This was a pretty no-frills room but had everything we needed and the staff is definitely going the extra mile to make sure you’re happy.
Super cute and quaint place to stay. Customer service was great. Downside was the bathroom was really tiny with no tub for my 5 year old, but that wasn’t a dealbreaker.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Well situated location w/responsive staff. However, it is an older property which needs extra care, reeks of weed, has zero amenities & frankly I suspect the owner is allowing it to go to seed. It could be a great property w/some TLC & added staff, likewise the check in @ 4 & checkout @ 10 are the worst I’ve seen
This is a very comfortable property in the main part of this small town. It seems that the owner made a recent and very considerable investment to update the rooms and the results are outstanding. The room was spotless and very comfortable. They have a contactless check in procedure and it worked flawlessly. Would recommend.
Cutest place to stay in Southport. Wonderful staff and location. So close to everything. We come in by boat and rent a golf cart from Coastal which is right next door.
Absolutely loved my stay at the Inn and visiting the surrounding area/ beaches. Exactly what I needed. Very cute, safe, clean, and convenient. True to pictures. Owner super helpful, polite and responsive. Southport is a cozy, inviting and relaxing little waterfront town. Looking forward to staying here again.
My only issue, the shower (and bathroom) is very small, hard to wash my hair, couldn't really shave my legs. But still got the job done.
Cute little retro motel with a lot of personal touches. A handwritten note.. a text from the hotel to make sure everything was ok and asking if we needed anything. The aroma 360 in the room was also a nice touch. The inn was walking distance from everything. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Great refurbished old school motel. Room was clean and comfortable. Customer Service was spot on. Rebecca was a true pleasure and very helpful with restaurant referrals and things to do in the area. Already booked another stay!!
We loved our stay! The bikes were a huge bonus. They made it so we could really see all of Southport! The room was just what we needed for a quick overnight.
