A charming, comfortable cottage that is in walking distance of all the interesting shops, parks, restaurants and the "must see" Maritime Museum. A short drive to the Oak Island lighthouse, Carolina Crab Brewery, and NC Ferry -- places we visited.

We loved the cottage; it was perfect for us. No steps to climb, clean and comfortable. The location of the cottage was perfect. We walked everywhere! Only one complaint- mosquitoes and bugs which we were warned about by owner.

Heart of Southport

This property was the perfect place to stay for a few nights in Southport! Kelly met us at the gate and was lovely! We walked to all the shops, to fish on the piers, and to eat at restaurants. The cottage was very clean and updated. It’s the perfect place to stay when visiting the area! You won’t regret it!

Wonderful Place!

This was the perfect place to stay while on our anniversary trip to Southport for the weekend. It is close enough to walk to most things, yet private enough to enjoy some quiet time. The bottle of wine and cheeseboard were also such a sweet and generous touch. We will most definitely be coming back!

Bird Song Cottage

We chose the cottage to celebrate our 50th anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It’s just right for relaxing or strolling around the neighborhood. Great restaurants are only three blocks away and the waterfront is a terrific place to spend an afternoon! Bring your bikes and take a tour of the historic city of Southport. Traffic is not a problem and you can cover the entire area in a couple of hours. Kelly is very accommodating and even let us check in a little early. We will be going back!

Terrific cottage for 2 in a fabulous location in Southport, NC!

I booked the Birdsong cottage for two nights this week. Kelly was a pleasure to work with. I feel like I met a new friend! Definitely plan to stay there again because we love Southport and this cottage is in an ideal location for our needs and for two of us, do not need anything larger. 5 ’s!
