About this property

Downtown Sunshine Cottage & GolfCart

Charming, beautifully renovated cottage located just four blocks from downtown shopping and restaurants (see map). You'll find an inviting, open concept living space perfect for relaxing with friends and family. Stroll or take the four-seater golf cart to the waterfront park bench swings where the Cape Fear meets the Atlantic Ocean, dine by the river, enjoy live music, spectacular sunsets, historic sites, and quaint shops. Explore the Oak Island beaches and and award winning public golf course only a 15 minute drive away. Take a ferry to Bald Head Island or discover historic Wilmington.
End the day unwinding in the gazebo, roast marshmallows, play bocce, chat around the kitchen island, or watch a movie on the large sectional with a cozy fire. There are board games and 3 TVs with smart apps or Roku and a Victrola CD/record player with Bluetooth (bring your own CDs). One bedroom has no TV.
At night, curl up in one of three comfy queen beds with hybrid mattresses and crisp cotton sheets. In the morning, enjoy your favorite coffee from the Keurig with a latte spinner as you wave to passing golf carts from the front porch. The kitchen has basic supplies and the bathroom is complete with blow dryer, towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. There is also a half bath off the primary bedroom and a small washer/dryer.

Cute Coastal Cottage Full of Southern Charm
Cozy well-appointed Southern charmer chock full of laid back (l)attitude. Family stayed three nights and it was our base of operations for sight-seeing and exploration in the area. We came back to the cottage often daily and the golf cart was very convenient as well as a lot of fun!

Coastal Charm
Sunshine Cottage...what a fantastic retreat! One adult and two teens give it 3 thumbs up! Everyone had their own space and an enjoyable gathering area for games and watching movies. The golf cart was so much fun and the absolute best way to explore Southport! A beautiful, coastal NC experience...looking forward to returning!

Wow! Even better than the photos!
What a wonderful getaway. Everything we needed was right on hand and easy to find. The home was so welcoming as were the hosts. Perfect set up for a few days away with my daughters. Close to everything and the use of the golf cart just added more fun. Definitely recommend and we will be back in 2024!
