Cottage Getaway

Birdsong Cottage is absolutely charming. Exceeding our expectations in everyway. The cottage is within the heart of downtown Southport, and all the shops and restaurants it has to offer. The host was very accommodating and made our stay even more relaxing. Highly recommend Birdsong Cottage to anyone looking to visit the Southport area.

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!

LDW in Southport!

Had a great 2 night stay at Kelly’s cottage! We stayed in Southport for Labor Day weekend and would DEFINITELY book again! Walkable distance to downtown shops/restaurants, a 15-min drive to the beach, private entry and parking! Welcome basket was such a kind touch and we loved little unexpected touches like coffee being in the cabinet and beach towels being provided. This was the perfect little cottage and we’d love to visit again!

Perfect location in Southport!

Loved this cottage! Perfect for a couple. So nice to have a charcuterie plate & bottle of wine waiting for us!! We could walk to restaurants & shops within 10 minutes. 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! 😍
