"From the moment you walk in until the time you leave, this place truly feels like home. The host has clearly put a lot of thought into all the little details that make the stay extra special. Communication was excellent, they were easy to reach and always responded quickly. We stayed over the Fourth of July 2026 and had an amazing experience. I would absolutely recommend this and would gladly stay here again!"

Top Southport Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Wilmington West - Medical Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was exceptionally clean ,the staff was helpful and welcoming and nice. The breakfast was great. The oatmeal was real, not just the open up package of Quaker and put it in a bowl with hot water. Parking was free. I couldn’t find anything wrong with the place, I was very happy. It was rated three stars,I think when I made the reservation so I wasn’t expecting much ,believe me,I’m a snob. This was way beyond what I was expecting .Above all comfortable sheets, not the plastic ones that you get at the usual three star star hotels, nothing was wrong with this place. I was so pleasantly surprised. If I had to give you one negative maybe a little isolated. It’s in the middle of a Medical Center, the Medical Center closes at five so not much around that’s operating but that’s it."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Southport

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying here. Once with our grandkids and this time just the 2 of us. We enjoyed both times. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the breakfast is great, the rooms are spacious and it is close to the beach and Southport. You do have to drive to both but it’s not bad at all. And just fyi Caswell beach still offers free parking at their one beach access."

Shell Island Resort - All Oceanfront Suites

8/10 Good

"This property is located in the best spot in Wrightsville Beach and every room offers ocean views. I loved watching the sunrise and will stay here again for that alone. Our room was dated and didn’t even have a Smart TV, the bathroom needing updating but was clearly recently cleaned. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Parking was plentiful but you do not want to bring a big SUV as the ceilings are exceptionally short. Because of rain we did not get to enjoy the pool and the one time we tried the hot tub, they were out of towels. A decent stay at a fantastic location."
