10/10 Excellent
"Kelly was an absolute gem of a host! She was so easy to communicate with and responded to questions in a timely manner. She met us at the property and provided information about the property and showed us how to use several of the amenities.The house itself was perfect for my husband and I. There was plenty of space and all of the amenities were easy to use. Everything was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. We traveled to Southport to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and loved every minute of it. We took many of Kelly's recommendations on places to eat and visit and were pleased with all of them. I would recommend anyone who is planning to travel to Southport to stay at the Songbird Cottage. It was wonderful, and we will definitely be staying there the next time we visit!"

Wingate By Wyndham Southport

8/10 Good
"Nice to have large room, nice furnishings. Window A/C has more noise. Glad to not have traffic nearby, peaceful grassy view on back side. No fun to have sausage biscuit in wrapper instead of the expected hot eggs/bacon/sausage on the first day, but it was back after that day. Nice dining area, 2 choices with most items for breakfast. Elevator was creepy with the shuddering and noise as it came to a stop. Shampoo squirt container in shower was empty (found out after already in shower). Taller fridge than I usually see in hotels (no freezer). Loved having four lamps in the room - and they all had “real” light, and not just a 15watt bulb like most! Room was updated and comfortable. Bathroom had roomy countertop. Responsive front desk personnel. Great central location! Will stay there when I come to Southport again!"

"We had a wonderful stay in this unit! The location was perfect. It was a joy seeing the boats at the marina, and there’s a marsh boardwalk close by that provided spectacular views of the area and sunset! Ted was quick with any questions we had and provided excellent recommendations for us. This VRBO is certainly a favorite spot and a place to return to soon."

"This place checked all the boxes for a perfect getaway. Walking distance to everything we could possibly need and a very short drive to everything else! The place was in immaculate condition and stocked with all the essentials. The living room furniture was so comfortable that it was tempting to just chill out but there was so much to see and do. And the pool was a definite plus!!!! We will definitely stay there again if we get the opportunity."
