This was the third summer we've stayed at Moon Spinner cottage. We love the convenience of being just steps from the beach while also having a shady front porch with ocean view when the weather is too hot or stormy. It's also great to have a large grassy area to grill out as well as ample parking.

Rooms clean. Host was there and greeted us. Provided a short history of the location. View of the ocean from the front deck which had a hammock and rocking chairs. Host had some beach umbrellas, boogie boards and an outside (covered) shower with a lower line to wash off your feet. Large lot for parking so we weren't on the street. Great time, loved it and would do it again.

Hello, spent a lot of time relaxing on the front porch in the rocking chairs and the hammock. Taking walks on the beach is relaxing as you’re taking in the view. Taking a half mile walk to the fish pear to get an ice cream at 2 o’clock in the morning was awesome. I highly recommend hanging out at this house for get away.

We love this place because of the shady porch with an ocean view. It's a quick easy walk to the beach, but the porch is a great place to enjoy the scenery when it's too hot or at night. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and beach chairs are provided.

Perfect location! Loved the huge porch which became our “go to” for family meals and relaxing. Easy access to the beach … just a minute away. Close to a great fishing pier with restaurants, arcade, etc. Kure Beach is a hidden gem and this house is wonderful to experience not only Kure Beach but adjacent Carolina Beach, the Aquarium, and the ferry. We absolutely loved our time here!

A key selling point for Moonspinner Cottage was the front porch with rocking chairs and a view of the ocean, and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed morning coffee, lunch and dinner on the porch. And the cottage is so charming - a quintessential beachside bungalow with thick wood panelling in the den and an old fireplace / mantel. I hope we can visit in cooler weather too. In addition to a short walk to the beach, there are a couple of good restaurants in walking distance. And everyone enjoyed the outdoor shower! When I was a child, beach house outdoor showers meant small and cold water only. But this one was roomy with hot water and great water pressure - our grown children loved it. And the host was very responsive. We hope to return soon!

Winter Weekend Getaway

This property is a lovely snug cottage with the perfect porch for ocean gazing. It is right down the street from the pier. I am sure it is much busier in the summer but it was wonderful (even if cold..February duh!) to have the beach almost to ourselves.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Snyder

Host profile image
We are a local family from Wilmington, North Carolina. Our family consists of my Husband, myself, and our loving son who is currently attending UNC-Chapel Hill. Ever since we moved here in the early 1980's it had been a dream to own a beach house to call our own, and to make it our own. As the avid beach-goers that we are, this beautiful residence served the perfect function of being our stepping stone to the warm sands and the cool breezes of our favorite NC beach. With our son moving out and exhausted from 11 years of meticulous care, we figured we could be a little less selfish and share the beautiful house to others when we couldn't be there.

Why they chose this property

Location. Location. Location.
We always knew we had wanted a beach house that was not huge, but not small. After carefully searching throughout the Kure Beach area for several years, we stumbled across this house and made it a family project to completely restore and remodel it from the ground up. Its proximity to the beach, exclusive location, and enormous back yard made the decision easy for us to make. The previous owner mentioned stories of its resilience against Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and claiming it was one of the few survivors, making its persistence even more appealing. At the time of the purchase it was no more than a beat-up cottage that was in dire need of some appreciation from its owner, a task we were willing to take on. 11 years later after refinishing all of the wood, installation of brand new appliances, complete redecoration, addition of a front yard, backyard shed, landscaping, and hours upon hours of manual labor improvements we were happy to call it our own. There is no doubt you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Many of our favorite benefits of the house include:
...10 second walk to the beach
...1 minute walk to the pier/fishing/restaurants/shopping
...front porch relaxation (hammock, rocking chairs, etc.)
...Lifeguard stand right in front of our beach location
...Aesthetic landscaping that complements wonderful view
...interior ergonomics that allow a common living space, but separate rooms that allow different friends to enjoy their own section of the house.
...Enormous back yard for parking, cookouts, throwing the football, or laying out and playing music.
.... Enclosed Outdoor Shower with Hot & Cold water for your convenience when you are coming back from a hot day on the beach.
...The uniqueness of each room's theme.
...And everything else


Please ask about linens and towels being provided for you! We provide them at a very reasonable cost!
