Just terrible.

It was cramped, awkward, dirty, and in need of some repairs. The shower is tiny and the shower head was miserable. The blue shag carpet is gross and smelly. The mattress is old and uncomfortable. The middle room should not be considered a bedroom as there is no privacy. Under the deck there is an old sink and leftover construction materials that were not suitable for our pets to be near. The entire thing felt like someone's DIY project rather than a professional, expensive, vacation rental. It was so awful we left a night early and will never return. Keep looking. There are other, lovely places to stay in Southport for less money.

A little piece of Southport heaven

Convenient location for walking around and enjoying the town of Southport. Cute little cottage lives up to its name of the Candy House.
