Robert Ruark Inn

Beautiful, quaint, bed and breakfast located within walking distance of Southport’s shopping and dining district. The breakfast was plated beautifully and was so delicious! The shower in the Virginia room is worth the trip as well as the decor. Ruark is a famous author and used to spend summers here with his grandfather. I will definitely return in the near future ♥️

All I can say is, if you’re traveling to North Carolina, especially the coast the town of Southport is a must see! And one the best places to stay is the “Robert Ruark Inn”. Old world charm meets modern conveniences. It’s like going back in time without the sacrifice of the old ways. Rick and Linda are the most amazing hosts anyone could ask for. Rick gives an amazing tour of the town and his golf cart that seats 6 comfortably and safely. His knowledge of the town and its history is amazing. You will learn much about this country’s early years, defending its borders to the time when it became a booming, fishing port, and then a favorite filming location for Hollywood while it retains its quaint charm and small town feel. The shopping and restaurants are amazing. We were there in August whi

Everything about our stay here was great! Rick and Linda are so very nice and welcoming. The first morning after breakfast, Rick gave us a tour of historic Southport. We also got tips of great places to eat. Our room was very nice, bed was very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer. We'll definately return.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Inn is beautiful, great breakfast, excellent hosts! Rick gave us a very interesting enjoyable tour of town as added bonus! Will def stay here again! Perfect location for walking to shops and restaurants

We LOVE Linda and Rick - and the Inn as well. Every time we’ve stayed there has been as good as the last. Wine and cheese in the afternoon on the porch was so relaxing, and Rick’s breakfast’s second to none. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything. We now consider the neighbors our friends. Come and enjoy this place, you won’t regret it.
