We absolutely loved our stay. The house was big and beautiful. The fenced yard area was perfect for our hypoallergenic doggies. Restaurants near by very yummy. Ocean only steps away. The apartment below was a perfect place for those who rise early and go to bed before it gets dark. Would love to come back during the summer months. Thanks Amy

We’re so glad you and your pups had such a wonderful stay, Amy! It’s great to hear the fenced yard was a good fit for them and that everyone had space to enjoy their time comfortably. With the ocean just steps away and great local restaurants nearby, it sounds like you made the most of your visit! We’d love to welcome you back for a summer getaway. Thanks again for staying with us!

I love this property so much. It’s a very short walk to the beach with tons of space to spread out with your family. It’s also very quiet. The owners have taken great care of the property. The deck space is amazing. I will be back next year!

Knowing that the home has become a place you’re already looking forward to returning to means so much to us. We’re glad the space gave your family room to spread out while still offering that peaceful atmosphere, and we especially love hearing that the deck became a favorite part of the property. We’ll look forward to having you back next year, Carol!

Loved the soaking tub in master bath! So nice to wake up and have coffee on master bedroom deck while looking at the ocean. The separate ground level apartment was amazing for my teenage kids to stay in. Lovely visit and loved the neighborhood. So close to beach.

We're thrilled you enjoyed those special touches - that soaking tub is definitely a favorite, and morning coffee on the master deck with the ocean view 🩵 It's great to hear the ground-level apartment was perfect for giving your teens their own space while keeping everyone close and we're so glad it enhanced your stay! We love that you enjoyed exploring the neighborhood too - being steps from the beach makes everything feel effortless. We'd love to welcome you and your family back anytime you're ready for another coastal escape!

Close to the beach, nice for family vacation

Overall it was a nice stay! Beach is an easy short walk, access is simple and no boardwalks involved (great to bringing a wagon and with small kids), house has plenty of space, and beds are comfortable. Bonus was the 3 fridges which helped us not go to the store as much. My family and I enjoyed the house!

Kure Beach Fun

It was our first time at Kure, and we enjoyed it! Lots to do with our young boys (3) and (1.5), and a nice stay at our rental. For the price point, I was shocked to have to bring our own sheets, towels and linens. Overall, nice place, nice neighbors and nice stay!

Perfect Vacation

This was the perfect beach house for our family! Everything was amazing, and the hosts were super responsive. Super short walk to the beach that my young children were able to walk without being carried. Part of our family hopped on the nearby ferry for a day trip to Southport. Highly recommend!

Fantastic home at the beach

A lovely home with lots of room to enjoy your family and/or friends. The kitchen is ready for all your cooking needs. We did not utilize the outdoor decks as we visited in cold /rainy weather. However, the furniture looked nice and inviting. The owners are very accommodating and respond quickly to any inquiries. We highly recommend this beautiful home.

Oceanview from master bedroom

First day was a disappointment. Cleaning crew was still there 2 1/2 hrs after we were to check in. We couldn't access the kitchens to put food away and prepare dinner for the kids. Everyone was hit and exhausted but had to wait for staff to finish and leave. One of the beds could not be used . One leg was completely stripped from the frame. Beyond that, everyone loved the home a. The kids called it the mansion. The master bedroom on the top floor had French doors leading out to a balcony with a gliding bench and beautiful views of the ocean just down the block. I love that there were two kitchens and one level is a complete apartment. So much space no one was tripping over feet. Great location. prepabegin to prepare dinner f

Our annual family beach trip was a huge success again this year because we were able to stay at this property. Because we stayed last year, we knew the quality items ready for us and were able to pack less. Thanks for an amazing beach house!

Beautiful Home on Kure beach

The house was absolutely perfect for our family. Everything was brand new Nd remodeled in a very nice way.. it was also super clean. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was completely equipped with everything you need to cook. The owners were very responsive getting back to me immediately with any questions I had. You are not even a block from the beach It’s a 5 minute walk to the ocean. The area is residential, peaceful and people are very nice and respectful. I will be returning hopefully very soon and would again stay at the property. Its a very warm home. It’s very big and easily acomódales numerous couples and or a big family. There is an apartment downstairs that was an added bonus. My daughter came from college to meet us and she had her own little apartment with 2 separate bedrooms. Easily could accommodate 4 people just in the apartment. Has a separate entrance for them to come and go.. it was so much fun staying here and enjoying the Wilmington area. It was quiet and peaceful to sit on the balcony and just relax listening to the ocean waves Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

nicest home we have ever stayed in!

What an amazing house and location! A complete and beautiful remodel. Four houses away from the beach. Beach caddy in the garage for ease of carrying everything to the beach. Such a warm and comforting home. Beautiful bathrooms and showers! Awesome water pressure. Beds all seem brand new and all extremely comfortable. All new appliances. Great washer and dryer. Beautiful decking that goes all the way around the house. Fenced in yard for our pup. Master bedroom and bathroom are an oasis. Beautiful windows and faces the ocean. You can hear the waves if you have a window open or are sitting on the balcony. The backyard is festive with lights, picnic table, and swing chairs. Propane grill with two tanks in garage. They really thought of everything in this rental. Baby/doggie gates on stairs, a portable crib, huge pantry to store all your food, gas stove, huge fridge in kitchen and in garage. The bottom floor also has an inlaw suite that we didn't to use but is really nice with full kitchen, new remodeled full bath and two bedrooms. We usually go to OBX n the summer but are looking to see if this house is available this summer sometime bc we all loved it so much. We brought our linens and towels no big deal. The master bedroom upstairs has a king bed and the other bedrooms are queens. The bedroom on the middle floor has a single day bed and futon. TVs in all the rooms. Two gas fireplaces, one in family room and one in master bedroom (good for winter months). We had the best time! Thank you!

Family Thanksgiving Gathering

This property was perfect for our family Thanksgiving celebration. It was clean, spacious, and beautifully furnished, with a well-stocked kitchen. The beach was just two blocks away and an easy walk. You could see the ocean from the upstairs bedrooms. The only negative was that we had to bring our own linens, and that was a lot for 7 people, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms. At this price, I would have expected linens to be included. It was the first time we rented where they were not provided. Other than that, it was a great property and we enjoyed our stay.
