Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Cozy beach studio within walking distance to the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was well kept, clean and in a great location! The owners were went above and beyond with their knowledge of area, but mostly with their kindness and understanding. Recommend this property 110%!"

River Hotel of Southport

10/10 Excellent

"My husband loved the location of the property, it was quite around the location. It was walkable to downtown Southport. The front desk staff was excellent and was willing to answer questions and were very helpful! The room was very updated and very clean! There was no common area for snacks, fruit and coffee. The room had a full refrigerator, sink and tableware in the room but would have loved to have had a little something for breakfast from the hotel! Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

The Beach House Motel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"As Fall season guests, we literally checked ourselves in with a code and checked out the same way never requiring hotel staff. However, we received several notifications indicating office hrs and also how to reach them after hours if needed. Our room was a standard king, modern updates, clean with nice bed linens and bath towels. It was small but perfect for our needs during a quick 2 night trip."

Pet-friendly* Walk Everywhere* Southport* Gameroom* Sleeps 10

8/10 Good

"Overall, this property is really great! The backyard was big and the house itself is beautiful and perfect for 4-10 people. It’s super close to the ferry to Bald Head Island, however, you do have to walk on a double yellow road to get to downtown SouthPort. It’s a pretty close walk, but there’s no shoulder or side walk. We loved the ping pong table in the basement! Unfortunately, there was a sewage smell and one of the lights were broken when we got there."

Relax & Unwind in Blue Haven!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great trip and would definitely stay here again! While this condo does not have any water views, it makes up for it with its layout and thoughtful touches.We loved having two separate bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. The furnishings throughout the condo are beautiful—even the bathrooms are nicely decorated and stocked with nice, spa-like towels. A truly unique and thoughtful touch was the basket of toiletries for guests who forgot something. We actually forgot a toothbrush, so we were able to grab those easily and "traded" it back by leaving behind some extra travel-size toothpaste we had brought!The location is excellent. We enjoyed the fairly easy access to the waterfront and loved dining at local spots like Fishy Fishy and The Provision Company. It also offers easy access to Bald Head Island, and we had a great time taking the ferry over there for a day trip.Our only minor note is that the dishwasher is quite loud. It was too loud to run while we slept, so we just made sure to run it during the day instead.As a huge plus, the building has an elevator. Because of this, we will also be able to recommend this place to our elderly parents who have mobility issues and love visiting the coast.Overall, a fantastic stay!"
