Full sized frig + microwave, dishwasher, cooktop and a reasonable assortment of cooking stuff. Room was great, beach/pool/new fishing pier area is really nice. Room had a mini balcony, also nice. If you wanted to you could walk to Southport downtown, if not a couple minutes drive. We were very happy with our choice. Complex is situated front to back on the river vs. Side to side FYI, but that wasnt a problem for us. Would defi itely stay here again.

The place was really nice and we enjoyed our stay alot and we would definitely go back. The staff was great in accommodating our needs to be close to the river. The water pressure was great, the beds were comfortable, and loved how it had a mini kitchen with everything you need to cook. The elevator was great as well with having luggage. The only thing I suggest with room 105 is to have the trees cut more so we could of enjoyed the view more then what we had.
