Top Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Southport

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel definitely meets the Hampton Inn standard I expected. There was plenty of parking space available even late in the evening. I liked the hot breakfast items such as roasted potatoes and mini omelets. Quick and easy drives to Southport and Oak Island beaches. I also saw an alligator in the pond near the parking lot. There are warning signs posted about the alligator so just watch them from a safe distance."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in this unit! The location was perfect. It was a joy seeing the boats at the marina, and there’s a marsh boardwalk close by that provided spectacular views of the area and sunset! Ted was quick with any questions we had and provided excellent recommendations for us. This VRBO is certainly a favorite spot and a place to return to soon."
