Description from owner

Description

Birdsong cottage is located deep behind the 114 W. West St main house and accessed through a side garden gate and path. It is completely private.

The cottage is ideally situated in the heart of historic Southport - a short walking distance to all of the quaint antique stores, chic boutiques, and laid-back riverfront seafood restaurants and bars. Spike's ice-cream stand is one block away and the 5 star Mr. P's Bistro is around the corner!

Interaction with guest

Robert and I will be there to welcome you to the cottage and walk you through. Then, you are on your own! There is a welcome book on the breakfast bar with our recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We are happy to assist with any special needs, make reservations, etc., but also we are happy to leave you to your private vacation. You will probably not see or hear much of us. There are no windows in the back of our house facing the backyard and the cottage. We keep the blinds drawn on the side of the house where the cottage path runs, to also heighten guest's privacy. There is a parking spot directly in front of the cottage gate on the street that we keep reserved for guests.

Response from the owner Hi Jon, It was great meeting you and Carol, and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! We have considered switching up to Cable, but have found that a lot of people have HULU, Netflix, Amazon and they don't watch a lot of TV during their vacation weekends. Not sure about the King bed. We may remove the armoire and replace with a smaller dresser. We do have a second bedside table coming. The bench at the foot of the bed can be moved into the living room to serve as an Ottoman if desired. I will point that out to the next guests! Thanks for the suggestions, and I am so glad you are planning to return. Oh...and thanks for sending that other couple from New York to us!

Response from the owner Hi Tim, Because of your comment about the couch and bed firmness, we added extra support to both. Now they are both quite firm. Our previous guests told us that both couch and bed were extremely comfortable, but their preferences were probably for soft rather than support. Thanks for that insight!
