"Wonderful place to stay for visiting downtown Wilmington or seeing a concert at Live Oaks. Perfect stay. Comfortable beds. The only thing I would improve is room darkening bedroom curtains. Especially the upstairs Kings face the lighted walkway between the two rows of house boats. Those lights are bright and light filtering blinds do very little to help a dark living sleeper sleep!"

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.
