Great spot in downtown Southport

We had a great time at the Blue Dog Cottage. It was beautifully appointed, very clean, and very comfortable. The size is great along with the bedrooms and bathrooms, all wonderful accommodations. The only thing that was a problem was the bedrooms are very bright at night because there is a park right next to this property and lots of lights are on all night. While all the furnishings are beautiful, this house NEEDS room darkening blinds on all the bedroom windows. It was very hard for all of us to sleep with only sheer curtains on the windows. The location was great, nice to be close to the water and the ferry, and all the restaurants and shopping. We had a nice time exploring.

Birthday Celebration

This property was absolutely AMAZING! The layout of the house was great! Kitchen was fully equipped! The back yard was adorable, unfortunately, it was so hot we couldn’t enjoy it. The patio would be perfect for cooler temperatures. This house has so much character! We just couldn’t believe all the little details! We would definitely choose this house again!
