A fun week!!

We so enjoyed our stay in Southport NC. The house had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. It was close to the beach, good restaurants and close to my family. Stacey was so helpful with the TV when we wanted to watch the Super Bowl. We were so grateful for that assistance. I hope others enjoy it as much as we did!!!

Southport House

Overall, the property was clean and met our needs. We were a little surprised that it was heavily advertised as walkable to Southport shopping and attractions. It may be walkable for teens and adults in cooler temperatures. It is not walkable for strollers near heavy traffic in hot temperatures. We did appreciate the long driveway that accommodated two cars.

Perfect!

My wife, I, & 4 kiddos live in ILM, NC. When my wife & I have an opportunity to go somewhere for a long weekend away from said kiddos, we absolutely take that opportunity. Southport, among a couple other close, coastal spots, is a go-to, for sure. We have stayed in several places in SPT, NC, and this property was top-notch! We always bring our bikes, park the truck wherever we are staying and pedal everywhere around town. We don’t get in the truck until we have to leave. The bikes get us everywhere! We covered 30+ miles this trip, Fri-Sun, on beach cruisers. Carolyn’s Beach House is a prime-time location in SPT, NC. Lovely home with everything and anything me & my wife needed/wanted. The comm b/w the owner and ourselves was seamless. 100% would highly recommend!

Weekend Getaway

My wife and I have been coming to Southport for years. Friends of ours wanted to experience what we are always talking about, so we decided to try out this property with Stacey. Everyone had a great time all weekend. Thanks for the clean, cozy place for us to enjoy! We will be back again.
