    We truly enjoyed our 2 day stay at Birdsong Cottage in Southport NC. Check-in was easy and we had a designated off street parking spot. The house was close to everything including shopping, dining, and art galleries. It was a quick walk to the water where you could sit on benches or swings and enjoy the view. Kelly had a bottle of wine and a wonderful little charcuterie box as a welcoming gift and was on site in case we needed anything. Casual dining at Provisions was fun, but our special anniversary dinner at Edgewater was outstanding! We enjoyed.every bite and all the restaurants were an easy walk. We would definitely return here for another visit!

    All was good for our two night get away. Walkable to everything, private, great communication with hosts and comfortable. We enjoyed the surprise cheese box and wine. Bed very comfy. The only thing that we did suggest to the host, was that more attention to dusting be done. We noticed the ceiling fans, bathroom light fixture and a couple of other things/areas were pretty dusty. Other than that, it was a very relaxing enjoyable stay.

    The location of this cottage was EXCELLENT! Walking distance to everything! Not even one block from the main street with shops and the park. Just a few blocks to the waterfront and walking distance the other direction to great restaurants on the water. Great communication from the owner and cottage was very neat and clean.

    Lovely cottage with lots of extra touches to make our getaway a special one! The owners went the extra mile to communicate with us and provide everything we could want or need. There was even a bottle of wine and a lovely cheese tray in the fridge waiting for us upon arrival. We felt more like welcomed houseguests than customers or clients.

    This was our second lovely stay at the cottage. Kelly is a great hostess and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived! The cottage is clean and cozy- the location is in walking (and biking) distance to all the places we love in Southport. We also enjoyed sitting in the garden area and listening to music from a nearby venue. All in all the perfect way to experience Southport!

    A hidden gem of a stay—literally. If you’re looking for a cozy, clean, and charming cottage that is tucked away and secluded, yet located in the heart of Historic Southport, this is the perfect spot. The hosts were wonderful; they greeted us upon arrival and guided us down the brick pathway to the cottage. After that, we were free to explore Southport’s shops, restaurants, and, of course, the port and shoreline. A welcome basket with a bottle of wine and a small charcuterie board provided a thoughtful and inviting touch. The cottage was stocked with plenty of plush towels, as well as beach blankets and towels. Having a clothes washer and dryer in the cottage was a bonus for us, along with a designated parking spot. Check-out was easy and seamless.

Little things like coffee, toiletries and plenty of towels to big things like a bottle of wine and small charcuterie. They are fantastic.

    I had a wonderful stay at the Bird Song Bungalow! The owner, Kelly, was incredibly sweet—she even stood in the rain waiting for me to arrive so I wouldn’t miss the property. The location is perfect: close to everything in Southport and easily walkable. I felt very safe, and the street is quiet and adorable.The bungalow itself was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. I was welcomed with a thoughtful basket of wine, crackers, and cheese, which was such a lovely touch. The bed was super comfortable, and Kelly truly thought of everything when it comes to amenities—she had all the essentials and more.I’m already looking forward to staying again soon. Don’t miss this perfect location and amazing lodging!

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!

Kelly met us at the gate to walk to the cottage. Nice to have the owners so close. We live just 30 minutes away so this was a “staycation” for 2 nights. We love Southport! So many restaurants & shops! 1st night was a stop at American Fish for a drink then dinner at Edgewater 122. So yummy! Brunch next day at Cafe Koa, wine in the afternoon at Haven Southport, dinner at Dry Street Pub & Pizza. All excellent and so close to the Cottage! We highly recommend this cottage! 😍
