Private Garden Cottage in the heart of Historic Southport!
Birdsong Cottage is set back behind the 114 W. West St main house and accessed through a side garden gate and path.

The Oak Island Beaches are 10 minutes away. Bald Head Island and the beaches of Pleasure Island: Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Fort Fisher are just a 20 minute ferry ride from Southport. The ferry is 6 minutes from the cottage.

About the host
Your host
Kelly and Robert chose Southport, NC as their new home after living and working together in the charter yacht vacation industry in the US Virgin Islands for 20 plus years. Robert was born and raised in East Lansing, Michigan before moving to Denver, CO and eventually the US Virgin Islands. Kelly grew up in Bernardsville, NJ, then lived in Philadelphia for 10 years before making the USVI her home. The two were married (first marriages for both) in Southport in 2016.
Captain Robert holds a USCG 100 ton license and is Padi Dive Master. If you would like to go boating for a day...talk to Robert! He works currently as a relief captain on the Bald Head Island Ferry, so he can offer you recommendations about a BHI excursion as well.
Kelly is a Licensed Real Estate Broker with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage in Southport. She also runs a successful real estate investment company, buying and rehabbing historic properties around Southport. If you are interested in looking at any property while you are in the area, Kelly will be happy to show you around!
Kelly and Robert look forward to welcoming you to Southport and hope you enjoy exploring the area as much as they do!

Why they chose this property
The cottage is a lovely garden oasis in the heart of historic Southport. The cottage is close enough to the waterfront and to the shops and restaurants for guests to walk or ride a bike everywhere. Staying at Birdsong Cottage is like being an instant local.
What makes this property unique
Privacy and quiet. Dedicated cleanliness. The owners will offer guidance and are on site to help with any issues, but leave guests on their own to enjoy the property as if it were their own.
