My wife, I, & 4 kiddos live in ILM, NC. When my wife & I have an opportunity to go somewhere for a long weekend away from said kiddos, we absolutely take that opportunity. Southport, among a couple other close, coastal spots, is a go-to, for sure. We have stayed in several places in SPT, NC, and this property was top-notch! We always bring our bikes, park the truck wherever we are staying and pedal everywhere around town. We don’t get in the truck until we have to leave. The bikes get us everywhere! We covered 30+ miles this trip, Fri-Sun, on beach cruisers. Carolyn’s Beach House is a prime-time location in SPT, NC. Lovely home with everything and anything me & my wife needed/wanted. The comm b/w the owner and ourselves was seamless. 100% would highly recommend!
