About this property

Heart of DT Southport with private, fenced yard! Perfect for pets! Sleeps 4

Relax in my cute, sunlit cottage with a shady, private fenced yard in downtown Southport. Perfect for pets! 2 cozy bedrooms with one queen and 1 twin trundle making an additional twin bed. Only 3 blocks from the water it is in a sweetheart location - right in the center of the busting historic district but is tucked away in a quiet nook. Sit in swing in driveway and feel the ocean breezes with a peek-a-boo view of water at end of street. Enjoy fire pit. 2 miles from ferry to Fort Fisher and Bald Head Island - 10 minutes from quiet, uncrowded Oak Island and Caswell Beaches. Come experience Southport from my quiet home nestled under the oaks. This is where I had my daughter, raised chickens and walked the waterfront for 20 years. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we have. I have tried to make it comfortable and welcoming - and furnished with everything you will need on your stay. The yard is very private and shady with lots of places to sit and enjoy nature. Everything Southport has to offer is within walking distance. Reverse osmosis filtered water, French press, kuerig, coffee grinder and drip coffee maker - crock pot, ninja blender, bread maker, juicer - bikes, beach umbrellas, zip line, fire pit, swings in the yard - Lots more!

About the host

Hosted by Rena

Host profile image
Growing up at Wrightsville beach I have a love for the natural beauty of this area and show that in my artwork. I am an oil painter by profession and have work in several galleries. Maebel’s cottage - that I have just listed - has been the home for me and my daughter, Maebel, since she was born and we cherish our many happy memories there of riding bikes to the sweet little library, walking to the waterfront to feed the seagulls and look for shells, climbing trees, building fairy gardens and taking in the friendly community events. We’ve done it all and loved every minute. We are sad to leave it but I hope you will get to enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is perfectly situated for pets to enjoy a safe and quiet yard. That was the reason I bought it 17 years ago. It is set back off of a quiet street with wooded lots on either side affording tons of privacy and safety in a natural setting. Lots of wildlife call this place home as well.

What makes this property unique

If you enjoy being able to retreat from activities into serenity and peace you will love our cottage. While it is only steps away from the downtown businesses you can feel secluded once you are back on the front porch.
