Walking distance to almost everything
We had a comfortable stay in this treehouse with our dogs. The shops, best restaurants, wine shops, Maritime Museum, and waterfront are all in comfortable walking distance…yet the house and neighborhood were peaceful and quiet. Be sure to wear your fitness device as you will definitely meet your goal for “floors” with the 3rd floor master!

Adorable house close to shopping/restaurants
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Leonard St. The house was cute and old and quirky. The king size bed was very comfortable and I would have liked to take the claw foot tub home with me. If you have trouble navigating stairs this is not the place for you. The stairs are narrow and a bit steep. The property is easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Southport. We would love to stay there again.

Cozy home in charming town
This home is cozy, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. It is conveniently located close to Downtown Southport and the waterfront, and it is an easy walk to some very nice restaurants. Oak Island with its wide beaches is a short drive away. You will not find a nicer host than Melissa. She is friendly and responsive should you need anything-so just enjoy!! Kathy

Adorable Cottage!
We had the pleasure of staying in this adorable cottage that is in the heart of Southport! Close to, even walkable to, several shops and restaurants. The property is beautifully decorated, clean and has everything you’d need for a stay. The downstairs is surprisingly large and the bedrooms are comfortable and roomy. One thing to note is that while the master bath has a lovely claw foot tub, there is not a shower. This was not an issue for our group but it could be for others. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit!

Good house which could be exceptional
Overall, our stay was good. The house is super cute and in a wonderful location. There were a few things which could use some improvement, like interior cleaning (excessive dust and webs in the upper most bathroom, and the outside walkway to the front door was pretty overgrown. Overall a yard clean up/maintenance would fix this issue. Additionally, we sent a message to our contact listed in our instructions from Evolve and never heard back. Thankfully it wasn’t anything serious. But not a great thing as a guest not to have contact. As mentioned in other reviews, the upper level stairs are super steep. So if you have an issue with stairs, this might not be the place for you. It was quite comfortable and again, in a fantastic location. And the claw foot tub was a big plus for me! One suggestion I think would be beneficial is to have a central “book” or guide with all the details for the house in one location. Instructions for everything were randomly placed.

Cute Cottage in Great Location
We stayed with family for a long weekend in Southport. The location is great, not far at all from local restaurants and the water. Also the ferry to Fort Fisher is a short car ride away too. We had a great time here. The house is unique and inviting and we plan to come back.

Adorable cottage!
What a gem this place is! It was the perfect home base for our family summer beach trip. The cottage itself is so well decorated and has an old world charm. We loved sitting in the little courtyard without coffee in the mornings and wine at night. The house was within walking distance to everything Southport has to offer. We barely used our car the whole time. The hostess was friendly and quick to respond any time I had a question. Would 100% recommend to friends. We will be back!

Comfy and Cosey Cottage Getaway!
This property was perfect and met all expectations! Just up the street from most of the local shops and just a couple of miles to the Fort Fisher Ferry and Kure Beach where the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher is located and the beach access for 4x4's. In the opposite direction and 20 minutes away are the Oak Island public beach access points. The property is rustic yet has everything you need. It almost feels like Bilbo Baggins from the movie The Hobbit could greet you at the door and ask you yo go on a magical quest! Thanks for the great experience!

Southport Charm
Very charming and cozy cottage style home with a lot of conveniences (full kitchen, washer/dryer, updated bathrooms). There is no bathroom on the main level and the stairs are very narrow and steep. This house could easily be a 5 star property if there was a good deep cleaning done on the interior with a bit more attention given to the exterior (power washing, cutting back shrubbery and cutting the lawn) to rid the patio and porch areas of black mildew. Overall, our stay was enjoyable and the quaint charm of the property was as expected.
