I did not know what to expect from this this place. The rating said a 2 star so I wasn’t expecting a lot. When I check in Ms. Debi showed me the room and I was really surprised. This place was clean and well kept up. I really felt comfortable in this room and it felt a lot like being home. Ms. Debi was very nice and knowledgeable about the area, She told me about the island, the area, places to eat and things to do.

The room was very clean and it fit our family of five well. The pullout couch was not as convenient because then there was no room to walk in the room, so my son just opted to sleep on the couch. But it was large enough for him to be able to do that just fine. It was very close to the beach and although we did not partake in the pool, it looked clean and well-maintained. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would change is that there was no microwave in the room. There was a...

10/10 Excellent

We've been coming to Southport to visit family for 20 years and the Carriage House has always intrigued us but we've never stayed until now. It was absolutely wonderful. Amy was very friendly and knowledgeable and the facilities were amazing. I travel a lot and spend 30-45 days a year in hotels and this was one of my best experiences. I just wished we had more time to just stay at the Carriage House and enjoy it more, but we spent most of our time visiting family.

First off, the staff here is lovely. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. The rooms have a microwave and a fridge that actually keeps things cold (you know what I'm talking about) in each room. Downstairs, they sell microwave meals and snacks at a reasonable price. The sheets were extremely soft, the mattress didn't hurt my back, and there were various types of pillows. I found the perfect pillow to meet my preference. They had Neutrogena products! The thermostat worked perfectly!...
