Families gather on this uncrowded barrier island to collect seashells and spot loggerhead turtles nesting along nine miles of pristine shoreline. Rent kayaks to explore the Intracoastal Waterway, or take a short drive to nearby Shallotte for mini-golf and fresh seafood restaurants.

The best hotel we have ever stayed at. Extremely kind and caring staff from the time we checked in until we checked out. Staff were very accommodating. Very clean. Continental Breakfast was always fresh and delicious with the sweetest staff there ever was. Honestly, we felt like home with family during our 3 night beach combing stay. We will definitely return!

First off, the staff here is lovely. They are attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. The rooms have a microwave and a fridge that actually keeps things cold (you know what I'm talking about) in each room. Downstairs, they sell microwave meals and snacks at a reasonable price. The sheets were extremely soft, the mattress didn't hurt my back, and there were various types of pillows. I found the perfect pillow to meet my preference. They had Neutrogena products! The thermostat worked perfectly!...

Stayed one night Easter weekend as we were in town to take care of some business. We were looking for a nice room close to where we visiting. Geographically this fit the bill. Reasonable rate, newer hotel, nice & clean room (quiet away from the busy street in front), very good breakfast selection (make your own waffles, hot oatmeal, pastries, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, cereals, etc.).

From the moment I called to let them know I was running a little late until the moment I checked out, all of the staff were professional, pleasant, and welcoming. The facility was clean clean and attractive. The room was excellent as well as the amenities. I could not have hoped for a better experience.

We loved that we were able to walk to shops & restaurants. The Avista is in a great location in that the area isn’t so crowded that it’s overrun with people.

We've been coming to Southport to visit family for 20 years and the Carriage House has always intrigued us but we've never stayed until now. It was absolutely wonderful. Amy was very friendly and knowledgeable and the facilities were amazing. I travel a lot and spend 30-45 days a year in hotels and this was one of my best experiences. I just wished we had more time to just stay at the Carriage House and enjoy it more, but we spent most of our time visiting family.

Well, we were pleasantly surprised at the lovely facility, and extremely courteous staff. We did expect to have a suite, but booking the room via Expedia resulted in a regular room with two queen beds, so next time have to be more careful. The hotel allowed us to bring our dog for a $25.00 per night fee, which seemed high, but having our dog travel with us was worth the expense. The Room was clean and having a Keuring coffeemaker was unexpected, they work well, and make a good cup of coffee. The...

Upon arrival I was greeted warmly and check in went very smooth. My room was very clean and comfortable. There were quite a few children in the hotel, but no noises could be heard inside the room. The hotel is just one minute away from Hwy 17 and quite a few places to eat and shop. Breakfast was tasty. I asked Shirley for a late checkout so that I could clean up after scuba diving and she was very accommodating. I will be staying here next time I come to Myrtle Beach.
