Had a great 2 night stay at Kelly’s cottage! We stayed in Southport for Labor Day weekend and would DEFINITELY book again!
Walkable distance to downtown shops/restaurants, a 15-min drive to the beach, private entry and parking! Welcome basket was such a kind touch and we loved little unexpected touches like coffee being in the cabinet and beach towels being provided. This was the perfect little cottage and we’d love to visit again!

Loved this cottage! Perfect for a couple. So nice to have a charcuterie plate & bottle of wine waiting for us!! We could walk to restaurants & shops within 10 minutes. Kelly met us at the gate to walk to the cottage. Nice to have the owners so close. We live just 30 minutes away so this was a “staycation” for 2 nights. We love Southport! So many restaurants & shops! 1st night was a stop at American Fish for a drink then dinner at Edgewater 122. So yummy! Brunch next day at Cafe Koa, wine in the afternoon at Haven Southport, dinner at Dry Street Pub & Pizza. All excellent and so close to the Cottage! We highly recommend this cottage! 😍

My mother and I had a wonderful stay at the Birdsong cottage. Kelly was incredibly kind, and although we didnt need to contact her, it was nice to know she was close by if we needed anything. The cottage was very clean. The location was great. We could walk to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. I would highly recommend this home and I look forward to visiting again in the future.

Birdsong cottage is a wonderful place to stay! Perfect for just 2 people. The walk back to the cottage on the brink walkway is lovey. We so enjoyed sitting out on the front patio and watching the birds. We parked our car and was able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. Kelly and Robert also had a nice surprise in the refrigerator waiting for us! Thank you both so much for letting us stay with you. We will be back!

This property was ideal for our stay. Location was everything...we never had to drive once during our stay because we could walk to everything we needed or were interested in...craft show, boat show, restaurants, quaint shops, museum, waterfront, pub, etc! The rental is perfectly located in historic Southport. Most of all, at night when we needed to relax and unwind, we were able to enjoy sitting in the beautiful, serene, and private yard to enjoy wine and cheese and the breeze! There is a local venue nearby that had live music nightly, which we listened to from our yard. All music ended before 8:00pm and the whole community quiets down. Just peaceful. Our hosts were very welcoming and provided us with so many local pointers on places to go. The cottage was super comfortable and cozy with all the desired ammenities. We will definitely be returning to this rental!

A beautiful little cottage with all of the necessities. Its nestled back off of the street with its own little garden patio less than a block from Howe St, and very close to all the best restaurants.
Only 3 blocks from the waterfront, its a great location for walking and biking.
We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

The cottage is lovely and we had everything we needed.
The big problem is the long brick walkway leading to the cabin. It is uneven and dangerous day and night. Fortunatly they provided a flashlight.

We had a wonderful stay that was peaceful and quiet. We could walk to all of our favorite shops, restaurants and local bars. We enjoyed some live music at the American Fish Company by a band whose drummer is a family member. The Birdsong Cottage is like stepping into a timeless garden of beauty and tranquility. We will definitely visit again.

Sweet cottage. In town and close to everything. Only issue: lots of nats outside on the property due to intense heat and humidity in July

Immaculate cottage located in quiet neighborhood was a delight. Comfortable bed, wonderful shower/bathroom, and welcome basket added to our joy. Beautiful park, restaurants, shops located within easy walking distance. Golf-cart tour of Southport was well worth the $12 per person. Would definitely recommend this rental!

This is a great little cottage for two with just the right amount of cozy space, in a superior location. Just feet away from the Main Street and all the shops, restaurants and wine bars and only a couple of blocks from waterfront restaurants, the Marina and historical sites.
Check in was easy. We were met at the white gate to the property with our keys and a smile then down a shady brick path to the cottage which had an outdoor seating area, small stoop with an overhang and mature trees and plants all around.
Inside was a place to hang coats, a small but serviceable living area with tv, adjacent is the kitchen with fridge, oven, microwave, coffee maker and kettle.
We either ate out or brought food in and used the plates, cups, utensils supplied.
The owners had provided a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate to get us started along with a list of recommended eateries.
The queen bed was comfy (and yes the sheets are super soft), overhead ceiling fan enjoyable, and the bathroom spacious.
We’ve already penciled in the same trip plus an extra day for next year.
Cannot recommend Bird Song Cottage enough. Just what we needed.
Cheers to the owners for this delightful experience.
