VERY nice and comfortable!

We enjoyed a very nice stay in Rhonda’s place. The location is so convenient: an easy walk to the shops and restaurants, and guests can even walk along the water to Waterfront Park. The beautiful Gazebo is just across the street. Southport is a special place for our family. We visit as often as possible so we have a couple of favorite places to stay. Rhonda has made some helpful upgrades and improved the cleanliness immensely (we stayed here a few times before she became the new owner and the care of the Unit had gone downhill). Cleanliness is extremely important to our family and we were very comfortable! Thank you for a lovely stay, Rhonda! Definitely five stars!

If you love seafood...

If you love seafood, being able to see boats and the water, then this is the place to stay in Southport, NC. Walking distance to seafood restaurants and downtown. This place also has an elevator so the stairs can be avoided (this was important for us). Oh, there are 2 bikes there if you are so inclined.. Overall, 5 STARS!

We celebrated my husband’s 50th the weekend after July 4th. Perfect location to shops, restaurants and the inter coastal waterways. We took our jet ski with us and mapped out our course from Southpoint to N Myrtle It was very convenient to jump onto the ski from our condos location- directly across the street Thank you for a memorable stay!

Quick getaway in a quaint town

This rental was exactly what we were looking for. It was nice to get away for a couple of days in a cute, quaint little town with great hospitality. Everything that we were interested in was in walking distance (restaurants, river tours, and even the downtown area). My only warning to future renters is the ceiling is thin, so we could hear the upstairs neighbors constantly walking back and forth (seemingly nonstop). Also, they had a dog that barked at everyone that walked by. While they didn't seem to care that their dog was barking, it was very disturbing (and we have a dog of our own at home). We will return to the area in the future.
