southportIn the early 1990’s The Cottage” was noted as one of the more popular style of homes built. Since then Cottages in the coastal North Carolina communities of Southport and Holly Ridge have become increasingly popular. In fact, Cardinal Builders, recipient of the 2011 Brunswick County Parade of Homes Diamond Award for their community The Cottages at Southport, designed and constructed two communities around this bungalow-style cottage idea!

Cardinal Builders chose Southport, NC as the destination for their award winning community for several reasons. Known as one of North Carolina’s finest retirement communities, Southport is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River where it intersects with the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. Antique shops, art galleries and fantastic restaurants offering southern culinary delights can be found when walking along the historic downtown streets and the Cottages at Southport community is merely 5 miles from the beach and Oak Island.
