My husband and I are in love with Southport and try to make the trip every spring. We have NEVER been anything but completely satisfied with the Riverside Motel. The room's back porch is just too good to be true, literally right on the mouth of the Cape Fear. Everything is easily within walking distance, and it's so peaceful at... More

I wrote a review under the Lois Jane Inn which is run by the same people but across the street. The motel is water front, quiet, and a perfect place to write. The inn owners let us borrow bikes to take the ferry and there are interesting spots in town. Staff went out of their way to make us feel... More

In town for one night and decided to give Riverview a try. The room was very comfortable and very clean. Could not beat it for the price! Will come back for a Longer stay. More

The view is amazing from the private swing on the back porch overlooking the river - many really good small, individually owned restaurants in easy reach. The only possible complaint would be that the A/C units are a little noisy. More

We just returned from 3 nights at the Riverside motel. The motel is very clean, bathroom was recently updated and farily large for a motel bathroom. Nice sheets (much nicer than most budget hotels/motels) and towels. The staff was very friendly. The best part about the motel is the porch on the back and the swing overlooking the river. Our...

This was recommended to us by the owner of the local kayak store. Stacy checked us in and was very helpful and friendly - even offered us a glass of wine from Lois Jane's - a B&B -which is across the street. The room was a standard older room - my only complaint is that someone was a little heavy... More

Since the last review was Sept. 2008 I guess it's time for an update. This great little eight room place was built in the 1950's. It has been renovated, and lovelingly cared for by it's owners. The rooms are small as were most rooms of that era, but are equiped with the niceties needed for your stay. They even have... More

We love this waterfront motel. We stay there also every fall. My husband loves to fish and this is where we usually stay. I love sitting on the porch watching the boats come in. The people are also very nice and make staying there a pleasure. We would recommend this motel to everyone. More

This is a pretty basic motel, but the location makes it. Most rooms face onto the Cape Fear River and Intracoastal Waterway, with a deck and chairs to enjoy the view. However, a couple of end units do not have this view, and one is very close to a busy restaurant. It would be nice if the bathrooms had an... More
