Charming, beautifully renovated, 3 bedroom cottage. Walk or take the funky golf cart (21 and over) just a few blocks to the the waterfront swings, dining on the Cape Fear River overlooking Bald Head and Oak Island, live music, historic sites, and quaint shops. Bring your boat, rent a bike or kayak, explore the neighboring Oak Island beaches, or take the ferry to historic Wilmington. Then come home to make smores, unwind in the gazebo, play bocce, or watch the large TV from the cozy sectional.

I love welcoming people, new and former guests to enjoy all that Southport and Oak Island have to offer! From the history and quaint shops of Southport to the endless beaches and ice-cream shops of Oak Island, there's so much to do year 'round. Please reach out with questions. I will reply through the website within 24 hours.

Sunshine Cottage is in a very quiet residential neighborhood four blocks over from the main street, N Howe St.. Walk or take the complimentary golf cart all along N Howe lined with every type of shop from wine and cheese, clothing, toys, to the Christmas Shop loaded with candy and ornaments. Stop at the local winery then enjoy the bench swings overlooking the Cape Fear River. There are restaurants of every type lining N Howe St all the way to the waterfront and around the bend. Take the Ferry to Fort Fisher, skydive, golf, fish off the pier, or rent a kayak before heading home to roast marshmallows and watch a movie. Check out the local maps on the living room bar cart.
