The cottage is everything we hoped it would be. Clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. Found lots to do around town and the surrounding area. Only 35 minutes south of Wilmington too so we had a good time exploring there. Don’t miss going to Bald Head Island…great beaches! Honestly was a perfect vacation!

Beautiful & Clean home!

We had a wonderful couples getaway weekend with friends in this beautiful, very clean house right in the heart of Southport! This was our 2nd trip to Southport and we would love to stay in this home again in the future! It was perfect for what we needed and everything was provided which was so convenient! We hauled a golf cart with us and the parking in the front provided more than enough space for the large truck and trailer! Thank you for providing such a great home!
