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.

Great location ! It would be a great addition if yard was fenced in the back!

My second stay at this lovely little cottage. Great for walking to shops, river, and enjoying all the pretty cottages and gardens.

Precious little cottage and in a perfect location. The biggest negative was that the only shower is in the primary bath so everyone had to trudge through our bedroom to take showers morning and night. Also, the back deck and yard could have been a bit neater. Latch for the master bedroom was broken so we had to prop it with a bag to keep it closed. Shower head could be replaced as well. Other than that, a cute little cottage!
