Loaded Luxury Large Historic Cottage-Heart of Historic District-Near Waterfront

Beautiful historic home right in the heart of Southport. It was everything that we could have asked for, and the host was very communicative and responsive. The whole process was seamless. Highly recommend this property.

Check in was very easy. Property was very convenient and in walking distance to many restaurants and shops. We highly recommend the Bald Island Ferry ride and the carriage ride. We also highly recommend renting a golf cart. The house has bikes on the property and the linens and towels are also in adequate supply. Very spacious home! Hot tub was also a huge plus! Mark who is one of the owners has exceptional communication skills! He was very helpful during the reservation process, check in process, and check out process.

Excellent location close to everything downtown, shops, restaurants and bars. The host was great at communication and made sure our stay was good.We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub and th house was very nice.

Everything was perfectly maintained, clean, and organized. And the house had a lot of historical charm and character, which the owners have done a great job of preserving and even accentuating. Marc was one of the best hosts I’ve ever dealt with. He really seems to care about his guests and went above and beyond. As far as location, you really can’t do better than this house. Not only is it within walking distance of downtown Southport, but you’re literally a stone’s throw from two of the best restaurants in town.There’s no question where we’ll stay in all of our future trips to Southport.

Beautiful home with historic detail. Close to everything in Southport.

Location, location, location! Right in the middle of N. Howe (the main drag into Southport) makes it a breeze to walk everywhere. And, if you don't want to walk, bikes are provided at the house, which was charming as the description made it out to be. We loved the seclusion of the master bedroom, but our favorite spot in the house was the hot tub, which was well maintained and easy to use. The houses sit tight in this neighborhood, but the landscaping made it feel very private. Marc (host) was great with communication. Check-in was very easy, as were check-out tasks (run the dishwasher, get laundry started, etc.). There are two notes that I wanted to highlight:The next-door neighbor and her dog were out until midnight, with the dog barking quite frequently. However, it was only one night of the three we stayed. The only reason I wanted to bring this up is that if you are sensitive to noises. There is also an emphasis in the house rules on noise, as this is a residential neighborhood. Given this, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the cottage for a girls/guys trip if you plan on having drinking/music outdoors late at night. For our trip (spouse mother/sister) to attend a wedding, no issues using the hot tub at night having normal conversations. So, with the dog and strict quiet hours, would we stay here again? Absolutely!!! The host; the house; the amenities; and, especially the location, make this one incredible spot in Southport. Thank you again, Marc!

The home was beautifully decorated. Great location, too.

The house was very clean and in a great location with two restaurants only steps away. Marc was very helpful with any questions we had and always responded quickly. The layout of the house was great as everyone had their own space. We didn't use the hot tub or firepit, but both looked really nice. There were 3 bicycles on the porch but we decided to walk to the shops and swings. Everyone loved the house and we'll definitely be booking again.

We had a great stay! The home is charming and spacious, has lots of character and is in a great location. We could easily walk to restaurants and shops. We were only two people so didn't take advantage of the additional bedrooms upstairs but the layout is great for a family with older children or multiple couples. Lots of amenities. Check in was super easy!

House was beautiful. Siuthport is a great place to visit. Sunset cruise was awesome. Fishy Fishy, Edgewater 122, Mr. P's were all good restaurants. We ate at Fizzy Jane's, too, and it was good but pricey. Make reservations at Mr. P's and Fizzy Jane's. Walking around town was very relaxing. Weather was very cooperative. Oak Island was a nice place to visit about 10 miles down the road.

Amazing house! One block off the main drag so easy to get anywhere but quiet and calm.

My family and I stayed here for a week and we all agree that this was the best vacation we ever had. Great location, beautiful clean home. Everything is in perfect condition and well kept. We cannot wait to go back in the spring!

Owner very responsive to questions.Great location within easy walking distance of most places we wanted to go.Can’t comment on hot tub and fire pit as weather to hot to use them. Do know hot tub was serviced weekly.Certainly would rent again

My family really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean great location for walking loved being able to ride the bikes that they had on the property perfect place for doing walking to the restaurants. The communication between owner is excellent. Would stay here again.

Positive: Great location and plenty of room!Negative:Searched the entire house (every bathroom/closet/drawers) and only found 2 washcloths to use for the whole weekend! Toilet paper was in short supply but I did find a few rolls in random places, like inside a glass canister on the kitchen counter and tucked away with games in family room. Eventually found a roll of paper towels in a bathroom closet. Have no idea why we had to pay a cleaning fee because we basically did all of the cleaning before leaving. It makes no sense that we had to wash/dry/fold/put away all towels before we left! I suggest the owners head to Walmart and purchase the 18 pack of washcloths! Also, the next door neighbor likes to sit on her back deck until late at night with her bright lights flooding the upstairs master bedroom and her dog, or someone’s dog, barking for at least an hour on the last night, which made trying to get to sleep almost impossible!

We love Southport anyway but staying g here made it even better. Lovely home within walking distance to anything we wanted to do.

House was perfect for a long weekend with a group of friends.

Nice, big, clean house. Great location walking distance to restaurants and the water. Pool table and hot tub… A

Five retired friends from 2 hours away went to Southport to talk, eat, shop and just relax. We enjoyed the Franklin art gallery, all the boutiques .We enjoyed the restaurants , especially the Southern restaurant right next door. Great place to stay!

Wonderful home in a great location. The pictures do not do this house justice -- it's much bigger, very clean and super comfortable. Marc was also a great host -- helpful and hospitable. We will return!

The house and location was great! Marc was very responsive to all questions. Large enough to accommodate more people than was on our trip but still felt homey. Would definitely recommend!

The property was in a fantastic location, within walking distance of many restaurants and stores. It was super convenient to explore the area without needing to drive. The house itself was spacious and well-suited for a family gathering, making it an excellent choice for our Thanksgiving celebration. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable, centrally located place to stay!

Great location, Beautiful house

The home was clean and very nice and homey. Our family truly enjoyed our stay the only negative we couldn’t stay longer. We will definitely return and our host were wonderful

We loved our stay! We did have to change out the sheets, host mentioned a mishap with cleaning, there were plenty of extra sheets. Definitely bring your own towels. It makes leaving easier so you do not have to wash and fold before leaving. Beautiful property and home. Loved our stay

Cottage is charming – quaint. Communication with the owners (Mark) was fantastic! Very accommodating. I would highly recommend this home. Location is great. We were able to walk everywhere and checkout the small town; dining was wonderful. The home is spacious – very comfortable / clean / great layout. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, etc. We loved the hot tub, the large private backyard (gorgeous trees). Screened in porch was great for morning coffee and evening socializing as well. The house was very clean, beds were also comfortable. The house was well taken care of and homey feel / loved the décor. And easy drive to the beaches, etc. Me and my college friends had such a great stay and get together…..I am considering coming back to this rental with family!

I am a veteran of Girls' weekends, in several different states. I moved to the Southport area 2 years ago and my besties wanted to come see what it was all about. SO I booked this wonderful home, perfectly located. I knew it looked amazing from the outside, but inside was even better. The hosts have thought of everything, and although we had the worst possible weather all weekend, we had a fabulous time. It was made possible by how comfortable it was for the 5 of us. Marcus is wonderful as a host, and immediately answered any questions we had. This had been my best VRBO experience yet.

The house was just perfect for us. It was walkable to every place we wanted to go. This was our second time staying and we will again.
