Perfection
Everything about our stay was perfect. The cottage is wonderfully renovated and decorated. The location was quiet, yet convenient to everything we wanted or needed, and having a golf cart just made it that much better! Thank you and we can't wait to return!

Immaculate Property
This property was one of the cleanest and best appointed properties that we have had the pleasure of staying at. The owners were very responsive and on the ball about anything we needed. We enjoyed it for our wedding weekend and used it for the groom and his groomsmen as well as our mini-moon afterwards. We couldn’t have asked for a better property for it. We also want to add recommendations for the vendors for our wedding who were all phenomenal! Venue: Southport Community Building Catering: Coastal Catering and Events Rentals: 3 Cheers Party Rentals Photographer: Tidal Marsh Photography/Cherished Photography Thanks to the Sunshine Cottage for helping to make our wedding such a memorable one.

What an amazing vacation!
This house was most likely the cleanest property we've ever stayed in, which is extra amazing because it's near the beach and so it's a sandy area. Not a speck of sand anywhere in the house when we got there! The location is amazing! It's in close proximity to the restaurants and shops all down Howe Street, but also close enough to the water area. The inclusion of the golf cart really makes this property the most desirable one in Southport. Sure you could get closer to the water, but there would still be places you'd need to drive a vehicle. Not with this house! Golf cart all the time! Jennifer, the owner, was also kind enough to provide us information about bike rentals. We were able to do that through Mr. Beach. It was reasonable prices and flawless delivery to the property. I will note that it's not a true two bathrooms, as the bath off of the master is just a toilet and sink. I definitely could've figured that out if I had paid more attention. I would say it's a factor of how VRBO lists the bathrooms. Even after I figured it out and really wanted a second shower, this property was still the winner for us. We couldn't beat the location and golf cart! We had a small snafu checking in, probably an error on my part, lol, but Jennifer fixed it literally immediately. We also had a small towel situation that Jennifer also fixed immediately. She sent the housekeeper, Donna, to fix the problem. Donna is amazing! Thanks for everything! We hope to come back.

Absolutely Gorgeous!!
We found the Sunshine Cottage to be exceptionally clean, neat, and comfortable. The chocolate chip cookies were a nice surprise since we were starving when we arrived. The Golf Cart was such bonus. The hosts thought of everything. We couldn't have asked for more. We enjoyed the town of Southport. We felt extremely safe and relaxed. Thank you so much for such a wonderful place to stay. You deserve way more then 5 stars!!!

Loved the Sunshine Cottage
This place was perfect for our beach getaway! The house was perfect, very clean, adorably updated and decorated. The golf cart made the trip, it’s in a super cute area so being able to go out around town just using the golf cart was amazing. The host was incredible, very responsive, and made the whole thing super simple and easy. Definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Cute Coastal Cottage Full of Southern Charm
Cozy well-appointed Southern charmer chock full of laid back (l)attitude. Family stayed three nights and it was our base of operations for sight-seeing and exploration in the area. We came back to the cottage often daily and the golf cart was very convenient as well as a lot of fun!

Coastal Charm
Sunshine Cottage...what a fantastic retreat! One adult and two teens give it 3 thumbs up! Everyone had their own space and an enjoyable gathering area for games and watching movies. The golf cart was so much fun and the absolute best way to explore Southport! A beautiful, coastal NC experience...looking forward to returning!

What a wonderful getaway. Everything we needed was right on hand and easy to find. The home was so welcoming as were the hosts. Perfect set up for a few days away with my daughters. Close to everything and the use of the golf cart just added more fun. Definitely recommend and we will be back in 2024!
