Great spot in Southport!My wife and I took our first trip down from Raleigh to check out Southport, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The apartment is beautiful and in a perfect location—everything you need, from shops to restaurants, is just a short walk away. We loved starting our mornings with coffee and ending our nights with drinks out on the porch. Check-in and check-out were super easy, no stress at all. Definitely a 10/10 spot if you’re looking for a quiet, laid-back getaway.

Very clean property and perfect spot in the downtown area. The only thing we did not like is right next to the pool area it’s a large construction area that’s open and you can see into the backyard. The house was very clean and the bed and couches were comfy. It was a little hard to find as it’s a private entrance above a hair salon but once we located it, it was a very convenient spot!

An exceptional spot to stay if downtown Southport is on your list of places to visit and you wanna walk to everything. The unit is as described. It is a second floor with steps. That would be my only concern if steps were a problem. The balcony was fabulous. It had a small gas fire pit, which set the mood and provided a little warmth. You can see to the water and watch boat traffic all day and night if it decides to come by.The facilities were everything you would hope to find laundry plenty of stocked provisions bed slept well, my wife and I enjoyed it immensely and would go back the next time business takes us to Southport.

This was a great location in Southport. We've previously stayed closer to the Marina, but really liked the centrality of this location, as well as the private pool. Another great feature was that you don't have neighbors next to you except businesses, so I wasn't worried about my early-riser child waking up people trying to sleep in on their vacation. The kitchen was well stocked with items to cook with. Parking was extremely easy. We will be back next year!

There simply isn’t a water view of any value. Technically, you can see the water from the balcony but not a view worthy of mentioning in the least. The amenities were lacking and we wish we had know to bring our own soap, shampoo, conditioner, bottled water, etc. These are expected in our view. The checkout checklist is extensive so prepare accordingly, as everything is expected of the guest (load and start dishwasher, washer, take out trash, etc.). I would rather stay at a hotel and not deal with this checkout checklist moving forward. The place was clean and tidy. While it was in the heart of downtown, the overall experience was tainted for us by the construction taking place downstairs early on Saturday morning. We had to leave for the day due to the excessive noise, drilling, sawing, hammering, etc.
