The room was comfortable and clean. The motel is classic 60/70's- drive up to the room . The owners have maintained the premises and tried to keep the nostalgia from the era.

My husband stayed here during the weekend of the Wooden Boat Show! It is a small hotel but Rebecca, the owner and Victoria, the assistant manager were great! They really care about their guest! Sending a text about check in to a hand written note to my husband about the Inn at Southport! The room was small but was very clean. The bed was very comfortable! Very convenient to several restaurants and stores! The outside had a porch swing, corn hole game and was a beautiful area! We would definitely stay here again because of the hospitality of the owner and assistant manager!

My son and I stayed overnight on our way to the Outer Banks. Room is clean and bed is comfortable- room has a mini fridge and coffeemaker. Our room was #1 and closest to the street so there was some traffic noise but it didn't keep us awake. Property manager/owners were excellent with communication which is a plus since there wasn't anyone on site. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a very comfortable property in the main part of this small town. It seems that the owner made a recent and very considerable investment to update the rooms and the results are outstanding. The room was spotless and very comfortable. They have a contactless check in procedure and it worked flawlessly. Would recommend.
