Cottage vacation rentals in Southport

We loved the house and the proximity to the beach. We only walked to the beach once for the sunrise, but spent the rest of the time in the house. We loved that each room was spacious, clean, and had a bathroom for each room.

The space was exactly as described and Diane was super responsive and helpful. The kids loved the hot tub, there were tons of unexpected amenities (waffle maker! Cupcake liners!) which made for more breakfast and snack options. Be sure to plan for renting a car - while there is a nice restaurant next door, you’ll need it to get around. I would recommend planning a stop to the carnivorous plant garden while you’re in town!

Had a perfect weekend. Home is beautiful, comfortable, AMAZING sunrises, relaxing hottub, just a few steps to the ocean, very private. So nice not having to drag coolers etc to the beach. Just carry a chair and a beverage for a lovely day. Walk a few steps back to house if you need anything.

Bryan's place definitely felt like a little home away from home on the beach. It's a quaint cottage, packed with essentials and was just the right size for us two. I was very thankful for its size and no stairs when I unfortunately sprained my ankle on day 2 of our vacation and had to hobble around in crutches the rest of the time! Even though you're right off the main road, there was no noise and was pretty quiet and peaceful. Beach access is right down the road and very easily walkable, or hobbable. The hot tub was a great plus to relax in after a long night. Bryan was very communicative and prompt with questions we had prior to booking. Check-in was very easy and check-out instructions were very reasonable and clear. Overall a great stay that we would definitely book again!

One of the best airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Everything was exactly as described. It’s about 20 minutes from downtown Wilmington but absolutely worth it for the privacy and seclusion we wanted for our anniversary weekend. You could tell Kristy was thoughtful in making sure we felt right at home. We will for sure be staying here when we’re in the area again.

Jim was a great host, always responsive. We had a slight issue with the air conditioner and within 10 minutes a professional came and resolve the problem quickly. Jim followed up with us after the first night to check in and see how we were all doing and asked if we needed anything. Overall, a fantastic property, a great host. Thank you, Jim, for allowing us to stay at your place. May you continue to have success. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking a comfortable, spacious, and convenient stay.

This place was so peaceful and cozy. The house is beautiful and feels like home from the moment you walk in. Very quiet neighborhood, great fenced yard with pavers for dogs to play without the mess of mud, and great area to hose off beside the house so we were never tracking in muddy paws or sand. We visited with our three large dogs and even they felt so relaxed almost immediately. The house is spacious and has a lot of character. We loved looking at the art. The hosts are very hospitable and so kind. It is so hard to find places that are truly dog- friendly and as clean and comfortable as this one. We had a very special stay and will definitely be back.

second time we stayed at the salt house , it was close to both beaches ,was a short drive .

Seadar is a beautiful cottage close the beach access and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Adam was an awesome host! He was pleasant and prompt with his communication and very accomodating. You can't beat the location of the house and the proximity to the beach and the quality of nearby restaurants. People in the neighborhood were also very friendly. We were surprised to see that the front and back of the property were sand and dirt and that there was a home being built next door. Despite this, it was a great place to stay and we have already recommended the home to others.

Super clean and comfy accommodations. Loved the beach decor throughout the cottage! Great location minutes away from the beach. The fire pit area is so nice and peaceful. Really appreciated having firewood available. Tim was friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was clean and so cute with all of the extras. Location was wonderful and loved all the restaurant suggestions. Brenda really thought of everything! We hope to be repeat customers. Thank you Brenda for making our first trip to the coast so awesome!!

We loved our week at Blue Turtle Cottage! It’s bright, clean and charming. Just a short walk to the beach. Leslie and Kay were lovely hosts. We’d definitely come back if our plans bring us to OKI. The king bed is super comfy!. Thanks for hosting us! 💙🐢

It was perfect for my family. It was cozy but roomy at the same.time. I would definitely stay here again. it was exactly what I wanted

Great place and great host

I loved everything about our stay. It was so clean. The porch, decor, bed (mattress was exactly my comfort level) the sound machine was great. Craftsmanship was well done. Heating units were efficient & quiet, easy instructions. The area was quiet and so close to the beach. Being able to hear the ocean from the cottage was a nice suprise, it felt like we were on the water. There are horses (and maybe a donkey) nearby. That was another bonus because I love seeing animals in beautiful surroundings. We ordered food from Sorellis Pizza (pizza, pepperoni rolls) & Sea Biscuit Cafe (Fried Green Tomato Blt, Braised shirt rib grilled cheese) all were delicious. Anywhere went in the area the staff was so friendly. Gretchen was very kind/thoughtful, I truly appreciated that. My hubby and I agree, this was a fantastic getaway. One of our faves, like right at the top. I have a feeling we'll be back! I loved feeling safe comfortable and right at home. Thanks Gretchen.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house has a 'beachy' feel to it and we felt relaxed and in beach mode the second we walked in. The path to the beach was right across the street from the house and the beach location is hard to beat....simply magnificent. Everything we needed from Publix to restaurants was just minutes away. Shannon and I highly recommend this home and we are sure to be back soon! Glenn

We absolutely loved our stay! Both Rebecca and the property were fantastic. The pool was a perfect spot to relax, offering a beach retreat without the hassle of sand. (Sometimes you wanna be at the beach...without dealing with the beach. HA) The location is ideal for a staycation or vacation and I really appreciated how peaceful and quiet it was. It’s also incredibly walkable, making it easy to explore nearby shops/food and enjoy a walk with our dogs. Love it!

Our family had a fabulous time here! We loved sitting on the porch with an ocean view, being steps away from the beach and being right in town close to restaurants and activities. Michael was a great host, friendly and responsive! The place was pristine and well set up to accommodate our family of four. It felt like home during our time here! We would definitely recommend for anyone coming to Carolina beach!

I can’t recommend Nauti Pine enough. Amazing location, adorable decor, comfy beds, and the most kid friendly Airbnb we have ever stayed out. As a mom of a 2 and 4 year old who travels often it was a breath of fresh air to have all the kid essentials there and not have to worry about packing the usual necessities. They had it all. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an OIB get away.

My husband, our 4.5-year-old son, and I absolutely loved the “Captain’s Hideout.” We stayed for two nights. The neighborhood is very peaceful, and the location feels private. The house is spotless, looks newly renovated, is well-stocked, and stylish. My son and I adored all the details of the marine-themed design. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces - the grill and the fire pit, I think they are perfect spots for 4–5 people. Kristi and Ian always replied promptly. We asked to check in a little early and check out a little later, and they kindly accommodated us. I got to meet both Kristi and Ian in person during our stay, and they are incredibly nice people! There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t like about the “Captain’s Hideout.” We’re planning to come back!

Excellent dockside stay! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. We hope to be back again in the future!
