The Inn at Southport is located in the heart of Southport, just five blocks from the waterfront, surrounded by shops and restaurants. Room 4 at The Inn features 1 queen bed and is newly renovated. The room has a small dining table, a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. The private bathroom is accessed through the bedroom.

While updated, this is a 1954 building and retains much of the charm of the day!

The space
The Inn at Southport is a Boutique Motel located within walking distance of the riverfront in downtown Southport.

Our rooms are a cozy jumping-off point for all that Southport has to offer. This room is about 144 sq ft.

The plush mattresses are a great place to lay your head during your time in Southport. Apparently, in the 1950s, big bathrooms weren't a priority, so our tiny bathrooms are just enough space to get ready for the day. If you have a larger build like my husband (my husband has a football player-style build), you might consider rooms 11-16 or our Southport Suite as they have a little more elbow room in the bathrooms.

The white noise machine in the room can be turned on/off with the button on the machine. My family needs it to sleep at home and when we travel so we put one in the room for you.

Each room is equipped with a flat-screen tv, mini-fridge, microwave, and 5-cup coffee maker. We leave you filter packs of regular coffee and packets of powdered cream and sugar for your early-morning caffeine fix. Depending on the day of the week, we have several breakfast/coffee options a quick walk away. Just across the street is The Saucy Southerner and Coastal Carolina Cafe. 2 blocks down is Cafe Koa, 3 blocks down is Port City Java, and around the corner from that is Southport Coffee Co and Kitchen.

The mini-split, European-style HVAC is controlled via a remote control. Everything moves a little slower in Southport and it can take about 20 minutes to swap from heat to cool or vice versa. Our in-room scenting has a light fresh crisp ocean vibe, but can be turned off in the room with a remote if you aren't into that.

We aren't entering rooms during guest stays unless you are staying for a week or more, but we are available via text message if you need anything and we will drop off fresh towels/coffee, etc in a bag outside your door for your convenience. What started as a Covid precaution has become a way to continue taking great care of our guests because, like the rest of the world, we have limited staffing.

We have 4 complimentary beach cruiser-style bikes that you can use while you are here. They are first come, first served so they can't be reserved ahead of time. Text us when you are ready to take one for a spin, and we will send over the digital waiver for your signature and then your lock code.

We will text you the day before arrival so you can fill out our digital registration form and upload your ID. I know Airbnb gets that from you, but because we are a small family owned and operated hotel, we need to verify your info also (people have started hacking Airbnb accounts and using them for travel). The number from which we text is the easiest way to get us while you are here. The number on Airbnb in my personal cell so if you get me, I might not be up to speed on what is going on if I'm not in that day. Please text us and whichever of us is working will be able to take care of you and it will keep me from sounding like an idiot because I don't know what is going on that day ;).

My family is so excited to have you stay with us in our hometown! Welcome to Southport!

My family and I live in Southport and I grew up going to the beach on Oak Island and Carolina Beach. It was always my dream to have a place to call my own there. We hope you enjoy our home and ask that you take care of it like your own.
