Top Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

NEW lithium GOLF CARTS, Renovated and newly Furnished Welcome to Palm Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time and enjoyed the house. Location was good - in the forest close to the ferry, store, beaches, and other attractions but not too close. Very quiet this time of year. Golf carts were fast! Need need to be careful not to get a speeding ticket! Only kept from five stars for cleanliness due to some dog hair under the sofas. Wouldn’t have found except our pup lost her ball. Melanie is a great communicator and gracious host. Would stay again!"

Charming Studio / Cottage in Marina BHI & Shoals Club Available

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and very helpful hosts!"

Wingate By Wyndham Southport

8/10 Good

"Nice to have large room, nice furnishings. Window A/C has more noise. Glad to not have traffic nearby, peaceful grassy view on back side. No fun to have sausage biscuit in wrapper instead of the expected hot eggs/bacon/sausage on the first day, but it was back after that day. Nice dining area, 2 choices with most items for breakfast. Elevator was creepy with the shuddering and noise as it came to a stop. Shampoo squirt container in shower was empty (found out after already in shower). Taller fridge than I usually see in hotels (no freezer). Loved having four lamps in the room - and they all had “real” light, and not just a 15watt bulb like most! Room was updated and comfortable. Bathroom had roomy countertop. Responsive front desk personnel. Great central location! Will stay there when I come to Southport again!"

"The property was nice with great views of the ocean. We are an elderly couple and a bit disappointed that there was only one chair in the den since we do not sit well on soft sofas. That would not matter to most people. Interesting decor."
