The unit offered a beautiful beach view that we thoroughly enjoyed. Watching the changing moods and colors of the ocean waves from the unit was especially relaxing. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, and the eatery, convenience stores, and pier were all within walking distance. We had a wonderful time.

As usual, a wonderful stay at Crystal Shores! We’ve stayed here many times over the last eight years and it never fails to deliver great ocean views, and much needed R&R. It’s always been the perfect little get-away. Thank you John and Crystal!

Great beach stay

We had a great time at the beach, the place was just steps from Kure Beach. Everything was exactly as pictured - just perfect for our stay. We were also minutes from restaurants. Check in process and responsiveness was great. Would stay here again.

Amazing! Better than expected!

We loved our stay! The condo was quite charming, very clean, and just a few steps from a gorgeous beach. There were several small touches that made the stay even more inviting. We highly recommend to anyone and hope to be back.

Great short trip!

This was our first time in Kure Beach. We have family that live in Carolina Beach and we came down for a 50th birthday celebration. Crystal Shores was a great place to stay! It was close to some great restaurants and a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

Great cottage getaway!

Loved our stay. Everything was exactly as described, very very clean and comfortable! There are 4 cottages and I definitely recommend #1 that we stayed in, it had a beautiful ocean view! I had 1 question at the beginning of our stay and was answered within minutes. Thanks so much for hosting us. We will be back!!
