This was the perfect place to stay in Southport! We traveled from Carolina Beach by ferry. Only 5 minutes from the ferry and 5 minutes from althe shopping and dining! We enjoyed the pool and private beach. Great place to relax and unwind. The beds were incredibly comfortable and just an overall pleasant and unique stay.

This is the cutest hidden gem. The entire property is darling and perfect for a little trip because it is walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. The pool is nice and the ocean front view is amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone.
