Drop your keys on Boddington the Butler's tray (!), and head to the deck to relax while you savor the view of pretty South Harbor Village Marina ( managed by Safe Harbor, and offers transient slip options).
The beaches of Oak Island are just a short drive over the ICW. (3.2 miles to Oak Island Pier). If you are a thrill seeker, you might be tempted to try a skydive experience, which is available 5 mins. away. Rental options for boats, bicycles and kayaks are close by. Explore the parks and nature trails, or take a 15 min. drive into Southport to amble through the many Boutiques & Antique Stores, Bistros, Bakeries, Craft Beer and Wine Bars. Visit the Maritime Museum, then lounge in a swing chair on the lawn while watching the Cape Fear River boat traffic. Take a sunset cruise...highly recommended, and maybe a Ghost Tour in Southport! The condo is conveniently located, and there is complimentary parking.
There are many places to eat, but it's ideal that one of the highly rated eateries is Joseph's Italian Bistro, right next door, and Rusty Hooks Dockside Grille is a min.'s walk, with spectacular sunset vistas from their Porch seating.
Unwind....appreciate...relax...
Welcome!
