"Took my two sons down for a weekend of fishing and stayed here. It’s a very nice place, just a few minutes from everything. The Point is only 15 minutes away, so getting to our fishing spot was a breeze. Communication was excellent, the place was very clean, and it had everything we needed. They even accommodated my early check-in and stayed in touch to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying the stay.Highly recommend—we’ll be back!"

"Kasie was a wonderful host and her house was very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. Easy parking and only 2 short blocks to the ocean beach. The fenced yard was terrific for our 4 legged Ruby Rose. Kitchen had more than enough supplies that we never really needed anything but the groceries. Bath towels and linens were ample and all of the "little stuff" in the kitchen was easy to find. Oak Island is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and we will return soon."

A Hampton Inn & Suites with a stone facade, large entrance, and a well-lit exterior.

Hampton Inn & Suites Southport

Southport

10/10 Excellent

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!...

The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast

Southport

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.

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...
