St James Vacation Condo/TH Rental - Southport NC - Cottage Retreat

St James - Southport NC - Vacation or extended stay condo rental. The Cottages at Golf Cottage Drive, Player’s Golf Club, vacation or extended stay condo/townhouse.

Stunning and spacious, yes very spacious well maintained 2 bedroom/3 bathroom condo/townhouse situated directly adjacent to the St. James Player's Golf Course club house, “Cottage Retreat” is well appointed for you and awaiting your arrival for that reposeful stay that you well deserve.

Tastefully decorated. Our home is fully stocked with everything you need and more.
Open floor plan on ground floor, with master bedroom and 1 guest bedroom along with a second room with a Murphy Bed serving as either an office or supplemental bedroom, our home will even accommodate up to two vehicles with an incorporated parking garage.
Upon entering this 1,768 square-foot home, you will pass through the foyer and be able to value the open floor plan enhanced by vaulted ceilings. The spacious expanse integrates the open kitchen, dining room and living room areas.
Once inside, you will recognize how comfortable and relaxing the home is, with very tasteful original art décor and a floorplan that allows easy access to each of the peripheral rooms.

The extensively equipped kitchen, complete with both a Krups and Keurig coffee maker will make you feel right at home as you arrange to prepare your favorite meals and beverages.

For comfort, sink into the plush sofa or recliner in the living area and enjoy watching your favorite shows on the flat screen TV. There are additionally two other sets where you may watch TV, one in each bedroom. We do offer Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Apart from the master bedroom, all windows treatments are plantation blind style allowing you to set the daylight intensity to your liking. The master bedroom benefits of four room darkening Roman shades as well as a room darkening track suspended curtain. This arrangement comes in handy as the sun rises on that side of the residence. The twin bed guest room provides two X/L beds that can be combined into a king bed. The third room includes a full-size Murphy bed and the new sectional sofa in the living area has a pullout queen size mattress. All bedrooms each have their own bathroom. The residence also includes a laundry area positioned between the kitchen and the garage.

Nearby beaches: Popular destinations include Caswell Beach. There is a public parking lot that can hold up to 35 cars. In addition, the western end of Oak Island provides two places for public beach access at The Point Beach. One is at the end of West Beach Drive. The other is at the end of King’s Lynn Drive. Both offer a scenic natural look and will leave you with a large amount of area in which to settle down for the day. Please Note: The St James Oak Island Beach Club does not allow parking lot use without an RFID tag. You may certainly use the beach when accompanied by a member or if you happen to locate available parking on adjacent streets. There are a restricted number of parking spots on 72nd street itself, if you locate one you can walk straight out to the beach. We will furnish a map of proximate parking to our tenants. Some of those spots are limited to Oak Island residents by permit only. IN SEASON: The remainder of parking is pay per use beginning April 1 and ending September 30. Please visit oakislandnc.gov/residents-visitors/parking-information to learn more. There is an hourly, daily and weekly fee structure.

Whatever the case may be, we recommend getting to the beach early in the day during the season or even later in the afternoon. Oak Island is a popular destination and vehicle parking is limited.

Golf: In the vicinity of St James there are numerous golf courses including but not limited to Cape Fear National, The Thistle, Sandpiper Bay and Carolina National Golf Club. Twenty minutes away on Oak Island you can golf the Oak Island Golf Club, it’s a great layout and can be very challenging played from the tips. Many of these courses allow online booking of tee times well in advance of your trip.

VRBO will quote a discount for 7 days or more based on the total number of days multiplied by the daily discount. Longer term rentals of 28 days or more may be arranged solely through the owner. Please feel free to contact us for details. My contact number can also be found in the Notes section.

Cottage Retreat has had some guests stay for longer periods and have taken advantage of the 90 day or more lease option that allows our golf membership transfer and even choice of tier level. Please contact us directly for this option as we cannot book it through VRBO. The Clubs at St James have a great flexible plan to accommodate tenants.

St. James is a quiet gated community located north of Oak Island just across from the intracoastal waterway. It boasts of 81 holes of private golf for all levels of play. The Members Club, The Founders Club and The Players Club will accept tee times in advance to those that wish to play that have been approved by us, the members. Please note that this policy changes from time to time depending on the availability of tee times. The Clubs at St James is owned by Troon Golf, if you happen to be a Troon member other options may be available to you. A marina, parks and open space areas are available for your enjoyment. “Cottage Retreat” is about 35 minutes south of Wilmington, 15 minutes from the Oak Island beach area and 20 minutes from downtown Southport.

The area is very well served with food, restaurants, sun and fun. Have a great vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Joel Marzi

Host profile image
We live in New England and have chosen the Southport NC area as the area to spend some time during our retirement years.

Why they chose this property

Cottage Retreat is situated on a private cul-de-sac. It is very quiet here especially at night. The floorplan was very well conceived and will fill all of our needs, spacious enough so one can have some privacy but small enough that nothing is too distant. In addition, if one likes to cook, the kitchen is expansive and there is an abundance of storage space.
