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.
