About the host
Hosted by Joel Marzi
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.
