Wonderful Cottage - Only 3 Blocks From Downtown Southport Shops and Dining! Outdoor Gas Fire Pit!

Gorgeous newly listed home just 3 blocks away from the center of Historic Downtown Southport. Nestled under the stately Live Oak trees, this newly renovated home is perfect for families and friends wanting to get away and experience the quaint charm of Southport. Enjoy the cool breezes from the covered front porch or relax around the fire pit in the back yard. Southport has something to do for all ages! Plenty of restaurants and stores to satisfy the desires of everyone in your family! Whether it is one of the many antique shops, a candy store or a museum, you won't be disappointed. You can even hop on one of the guided golf cart tours of the town to learn the history of this once busy fishing village. Southport is only a 15 minute drive from Oak Island where you will find 12 miles of beautiful beach to relax in the sun. There is even a great 18 Hole Public Golf Course on Oak Island. Southport has its own small beach next to the Frying Pan Restaurant if you prefer to stay in town or spend it fishing on the Southport Public Pier just 2 blocks away, We have so many amazing and fun shops/ places to visit and eat, you will surely want to plan a return visit! Parking and outlet in the back for a golf cart if you decide to rent one for your stay (golf carts are a separate rental from the property).

Great place to stay!

Beautiful cottage in very cute neighborhood. House is well maintained and comfortable, air conditioning works great. House is within walking distance to downtown and a great coffee shop. Customer service is excellent - had a small problem with beeping smoke detectors and the issue was fixed right away. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house in a picturesque town

We loved our stay so very much. It was very close to the adorable city of Southport. The 2 bikes in the shed were fun to use. There was a great screened in porch and fire pit in back. The only thing that could be easily improved is more hangers in the house (not a deal breaker by any means).

Southport

Our stay at the uncorked cottage was absolutely perfect. The house is very well appointed and very clean. Southport downtown is a short walk away, as is the Cape Fear River waterfront! Also the history surrounding the house was very interesting!!!!! Perhaps you could provide some Tupperware for leftover food is my only suggestion. Also the recycling can situation was confusing as both cans had plastic bags in them. Perhaps directions for renters would help that. But at any rate. The place is 🤩 perfect.

Enjoyed it.

The little things begin to add up. Ice maker did not work. Master bedroom toilet handle was broken. No tv in master but all bedrooms were supposed to have one. No basic cable or streaming service was available. I did not have my sign in information to use our own services. Powder room toilet handle came loose and I hand tightened it to get us to checkout. I made property management aware of all and also told them to address the issues after our stay. Do not want or need the interruptions.

Wonderful stay at Uncorked Cottage in Southport

We had a grand time visiting Southport, NC and enjoying our stay in Uncorked Cottage. The condition of the home was exceptional. Our plan was to stay 5 nights; however, we had to stay in Wilmington the first 2 nights due to the impact of a tropical storm. Even though our trip was shortened, staying at Uncorked Cottage the remaining 3 nights made for an exceptionally enjoyable trip.

Our stay at the UnCorked Cottage

The cottage was very clean and provided everything we needed for our 3-night stay in Southport. We were within walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops in the downtown area. I would highly suggest this accommodation. It was perfect.

Cutest, cleanest , perfectly located cottage

Our stay at Uncorked Cottage was perfect. We were in town for a wedding and it allowed us to enjoy, relax and get ready comfortably. Well maintained, sweet and easy setting. Perfect asking distance to everything but off the main drag so quiet and peaceful. The front porch was my favorite spot to drink coffee and read. Home fully upgraded. We absolutely loved and will definitely stay again.

Family get-away

All ages..grandparents, young parents, grandchild... loved the cottage in Southport's historic district. Quiet street...short walks to downtown for shopping, ice cream and coffee breaks! The main floor master suite was a big plus with 2 large bedrooms upstairs. Very well appointed kitchen. It was a very memorable vacation!
