Island Jewel is a true gem! We found it welcoming, comfortable and it perfectly fit our needs. The fenced yard was a bonus for our pup! We will definitely consider another stay at Island Jewel when we are in the area again!

Lovely time time here and hope to return! Great beach access and walk ability to the town square at Kure Beach. Our granddaughters enjoyed the space as well and you know it's hard to please teens! Thank you so much for sharing!

I will definitely book this place again. It was very clean and very close to the beach. Check in was very easy and Dee Anne was a great host! and does message you back very quickly. Very cute home and love the bird feeders outside the bedroom window. Got to do some bird watching also with a few squirrels. The house was decorated so cute in a coastal theme. Very comfortable place to stay and very clean.

The suite was a great size. They allowed my dog to travel with me and was only 20 pet fee per night. It was quiet, the bed was comfy and so was the living room furniture. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend this property!

We had the loveliest time at the Island jewel! Our pups enjoyed the fenced in yard area for them and the walkable beach access was unbeatable! It was a very comfortable stay and we will absolutely be coming back! I could not recommend the Island Jewel to anyone wanting to have a weekend away enough!!

It might’ve been my error, but I didn’t realize it didn’t have a full kitchen. But it did have a microwave , oven, refrigerator, and a grill. It worked out well. Overall, he was walking distance to the beach and we had a great time

The accommodations were exactly what we needed. The owner was very good about communication. It was very nice having paper plates, plastic utensils, and even an air fryer to use if we needed it. We had no problems at all with the house, except for seeing a few spiders in the one corner behind the bed.

The Island Jewel truly lives up to its name—offering unbeatable location, thoughtful amenities, and every convenience you could hope for. The hosts genuinely thought of everything: paper products, snacks, tea and coffee, a water cooler, wine glasses, and even a wine opener. It made our stay effortless and enjoyable.

This was the perfect spot for us! The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. The mini fridge held more than expected and had a better freezer than we thought might be the case. Dee and Larry provided k-cups, tea bags, snacks, and dog biscuits :) Communications were seamless. There were more than enough towels, washcloths, pillows, and blankets. The bedding felt great, and our 22-year old slept comfortably on the couch. The water pressure and A/C were great, as were the ceiling fans and additional tabletop/floor fans. The fenced-in yard wraps around the house with several outdoors chairs. Dee and Larry have some beach chairs available for borrowing. The walk to the beach was very close and nice, through a lovely neighborhood. There’s an easy drop-off area for delivering heavier things (like a pop-up tent and weights) by vehicle. My husband and son easily connected to the TV, which has not always been the case at other rentals. Kure Beach and Carolina Beach are nice towns, and we ate delicious food throughout our stay. Fort Fisher is beautiful, and we enjoyed an affordable and convenient ferry to the cute town of Southport. I highly recommend the Island Jewel! Thank you, Dee and Larry!

The place was nice, very clean, and overall for our weekend trip it was decent place to stay. However, we were not aware that the host would be living full time above us. We could hear them walking around, we could hear their TV, when they use their water upstairs you can hear it running through the pipes, their dogs came downstairs to a connecting door and was barking, and they let their own dogs in the fenced in portion which made our dog bark at 7:00am. While the place was clean we didn’t feel comfortable knowing they were right there—not that we did anything wrong but just not the notion VRBO advertises which is the “entire” place to yourself. We did have to ask for a plunger which we used and had to immediately return upon their request. They did vacate often however when they were away their dogs would come downstairs and bark. Overall clean place, decent stay, but if you don’t want to run into the host while on your vacation this may not be the place for you.
