The bathroom was very nice and clean although I was a bit confused where the toilet paper was at since there wasn't any holder for it. The room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The only bad thing I could say is, much like another bed and breakfast I stayed in, we couldn't control the temperature or run a fan to make any noise. This was a ok for me, but just a word of caution. The temperature of our room was always good even when it was cold at night. The breakfast was a little different than I've had at B&Bs before as it was a buffet style with mostly cold items. There were some premade omelettes that could be microwaved, but I was good with a bagel and a big sized bowl of cereal. The small selection of pasteries was great! When I made a reservation, they recommended reserving a tram service which would take you and your bags from the ferry to the B&B. I skipped this part since it's not very far of a walk and I thought we could stretch our legs. The free good cart is definitely a HUGE plus. We were able to go across the island and back zig zagging some and making some stops. The free WiFi also kept us entertained while it was raining outside. If I could afford to come back another time, I would definitely stay here again.

Anyway, so happy my cousin, Angel, chose Captain Newton's! Me and my husband were fortunate to stay there with her. We stayed in one of the two bedrooms in the main home. Angel had the other bedroom. My aunt & uncle stayed in a suite in the back/side of the home (it has it's own private entrance, so they could come & go without disturbing anyone). Things I loved about the B & B..... The owner's were welcoming, affable, and super accommodating. Having never stayed at a B & B before, I didn't know what to expect, and was somewhat worried that it would be strange staying at someone's home. However, it was not strange at all! The owner's do live on the premises. Their residence is attached to the main home (the entrance to their home is behind the little kitchen nook, and leads into their beautiful kitchen). They were exceptional hosts. Giving you your privacy, yet at the same time, making sure you had everything you need at all times. I couldn't be more impressed. I LOVED the decor! There was great attention to detail in making it feel like home away from home. It was comfortable and beachy cute. While the furnishings were newer, they kept the style traditional to match the age of the home. I loved all the beautiful touches.....Flowers, cute pillows, little wooden signs with positive sayings. And I especially loved the two porch swings. One swing on the top balcony, and the other on the lower balcony. We spent much time up their hanging out, drinking wine, and just breathing in the calm and fresh air. A delicious breakfast was provided for us daily. For example: Quiche, sausage, granola, fruit dish, fresh juice, milk, etc. Such a nice treat! The location is ideal! We were walking distance from all the cute shops, the convenience (wine/liquour store), the water, and great restaurants. It was centrally located. Also, there is a pool with a separate jacuzzi....YAY! As I said earlier, our visit was in October, but we still wanted to use their beautiful pool, so they heated it the pool for us to perfection. What a great way for us to spend the day after the wedding! Once more thing I loved was that they had bikes for us to ride around town. The weather was great for a bike ride, and we toured the cute little town checking out the harbor, the old cemetery, the old jail, etc. It is such a beautiful little town, and ideal location to have a wedding. If you are visiting Southport NC, and looking for a place to hang your hat, look no further. Captain Newton's is it!

I wish that they told you to bring your own supplies such as toilet paper, paper towel, dish soap, tablets, sponge, trash bags, laundry soap, and bath towels. They have a washer and dryer however the dryer is not funtional when you turn it on the lint catcher that seperates the cloths from the heating element comes off. The dishwasher's top rack is broken and hangs down on oneside making it hard to use. The sink has no garbage disposal and backs up easy. And the place is not very clean as a matter of fact it boarders on unsanitary, the kitchen floors look like they have never been cleaned, sticky stuff on the light switches, moldings and baseboards, the screens are broken and I think the last time the windows were cleaned may have been the last century. The mattress on the beds are horrible unless you dont mind rolling downhill to the middle of the mattress, very uncomfortable to sleep on. The more we write the lower the rating goes, the only thing keeping this from being a one is the beautiful view and easy access to the ocean. The owners need to do a better job of maintaining the property and should consider hiring another cleaning company if they have one at all. The property management company has been accomodating and did send a maintenace person out when we called because of the shower was backing up, they also brought us some baking sheets upon request.

This little inn is a great way to take in the charm of Southport, NC. It's an older roadside motel…read morefrom the 1950s, but is in the process of being renovated and updated under its new management. Rebecca, the innkeeper, is an incredible host, and the rest of the staff is equally friendly and accommodating. The rooms my family and I stayed in were newly renovated, with hardwood floors, new beds, paint, fixtures, appliances, and furniture. The WiFi worked perfectly, the beds slept like a dream, and the overall ambience really worked for our getaway. When we come back for another Southport visit, we will be returning to River Oaks. A few things to keep in mind: - Not all rooms are fully updated yet, but each room has new features that are slowly being added, like curtains, beds, lamps, better WiFi, and so forth. All will eventually be updated, per a discussion with Rebecca. If you want one of the more updated rooms, reach out to her for more info. - The inn does not run like a normal one, as it's more of a vacation rental than a standard inn. Management lives offsite, but is readily reachable by phone and can quickly arrive if needed. The staff for maintenance and cleaning arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon, but can also help with anything. - Your room key is delivered by phone, via OpenKey, which was a new experience for us. Just download the app before your arrival, and it makes the process easier. It's a fairly simple key to use; just open the key within the app and press the black button on the door; rather quickly, the door unlocks. If a physical key is needed, please ask management and they will provide one for you. - There is very little need to use a car, as the main attractions and areas of Southport are easily reachable by walking. Downtown is a ten minute walk, and Yacht Basin is about 15. - The town has a strict "no branding" policy, when it comes to businesses, which really offers up a unique opportunity to support locally owned eateries and shops. That being said, leave any expectations for Starbucks and McDonald's far behind. - Like I mentioned at the top of this post, this is a building from the 1950s, so it does have an older presentation on the outside and interior, in terms of design; things weren't built then as large as they are today. The rooms aren't closet-sized by any means, but are more in line with the size of a guest bedroom/bath at a standard house.

I called and my brother called Suzanne separately after hurricane Gordon hit . She assured us that all was good and the media was blowing things out of proportion. Well, she lied . I think it was because she didn't want us to cancel our trip. She told us the chamber of commerce advised her not to give any information about the flooding. Really? Our lives are at stake! Even her street and driveway was flooded. We could not do several things we planned because of the flooding. Suzanne would not answer any of our questions with direct answers .to anything we asked her about anything. I asked her which restaurants were within walking distance and she said " I don't know" She is the owner! Really?! Breakfast was very sparse . She did not offer seconds. I left still hungry. She had a lot of rules like not being allowed in the kitchen and not being able to turn the cooling system up or down as much as we would like. She said it was a retirement community and we had to be quiet, and also the tv did not work. the rest of her guests that were suppose to come the next day never showed up (probably because of the flooding) We left 2 days early because of all this. Suzanne never offered to refund us even one night. BEWARE.
