I expected a little better view of the water since it was so close to the river. We appreciated the Keurig coffee maker with pods since we weren't planning to buy food supplies. They gave very good suggestions about places to eat. The room was very nice with a comfortable bed. We would stay there again.

The rooms were neat and clean with a little kitchenette that had a sink, stove top and a full size refrigerator. Heather and Nancy in the office were amazing! They were so nice and very helpful. It is like a little secluded hideaway where you can relax. Having a private balcony was a plus as well. My best friend and I have found our happy place and we will DEFINITELY be returning ASAP. We had so much fun in Southport!!!!
