About this house rental
Step inside the Mad River cottage and you will want to stay forever. Built over a century ago and surrounded by centuries-old live oaks, the two-bedroom cottage is the perfect retreat for a week or a weekend away from home. Inside you’ll be delighted by the cheerful color pallet and comfortable furnishings. Outside you’ll have the opportunity to sip your morning coffee on the small screened porch or dine al fresco beneath a lumbering live oak. You’ll be walking distance from everything the village of Southport offers—from boating to shopping to dining to fresh local seafood and of course all the famous spots featured in the Safe Haven movie—- all are just steps away from the cottage. Plus, if it’s beach time you crave, you’ll be a short 15-minute drive to all the white sand and ocean waves you can imagine! Come enjoy one of the happiest seaside towns in America and stay in the Mad River Cottage...it may be your first time but we’re sure it won’t be your last! Oh, and if you're wondering why it’s the Mad River Cottage check out this website: madriverdesigns.com, and be sure to stop by the Mad River Studio & Store for the best shopping in Southport.

We had a great time. House was beautiful!
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This was the most welcoming of properties - very nicely furnished with lots of interesting touches but not l over-the-top. The back yard was lovely and our dog enjoyed some roaming back there. The property is a short walk to the water and downtown Southport. Just a great time! The winery question…did not apply but the kitchen was well stocked.

The location is perfect with town center a short walk away and the water close by. The accommodations were pleasant and the screened porch a favorite.
