Bring your bike and walking shoes to enjoy beautiful scenic views along the ocean and Fort Fisher which is the most beautiful spot on the Carolina coast with the Cape Fear river to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

The town of Kure Beach which is only one mile away has several wonderful restaurants and a walk on the Kure Beach Fishing Pier is always a great end to your evening with a delicious ice cream cone. Kure has a public area at the Joe Eakes Park on K ave. with Tennis Courts, Frisbee Golf, and a childs Play Area.

The Ft. Fisher Ferry to the Historic village of Southport is only two miles away from our house. A Ferry ride to this quaint fishing village is a great afternoon activity for the family (and a great bargain--only $5 per car for a beautiful 30 minute cruise on the Cape Fear River. Have lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants (we love the Provision House / on the water & very, very quaint) and shop in the specialty and antique shops located in the heart of the historic district.

Wilmington is just 20 minutes away and is home to the Battleship North Carolina, Hospital, Screen Gem Movie Studios, Carriage Rides through the historic district and along the waterfront, Antique Shops, and the Beautiful River Walk.

Boating:

There are three areas to launch your boat on the Island. The North end which is about four miles from here has a free parking & launching area ( most popular) and another in the State Park with a launching fee. The South end has a public launch area for smaller craft or flat bottom boats (very shallow) which has access to the Cape Fear river.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Maher

Host profile image
We moved here from Northern Virginia to raise our children in a smaller town, while being close to the ocean. Kure Beach exceeded our expectations and we decided to stay here and build a home where we could raise our family and run our promotional product business together from home. We became interested in buying properties, and have 2 condos in Carolina Beach, along with a cottage in Kure Beach and these are also on VRBO. #470721 and #866560. We could not be more excited about renting our home out this year.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location to be away from the crowds, in a quiet year-round resident non-HOA neighborhood, with views of the Ocean.

What makes this property unique

Parking and access to the beach are some of the most unique attributes of the neighborhood. The convenient store is less than 3 blocks away, and just 2 blocks away is a tennis court, dog park, Kids Park, and a Disc Golf Course. There are several churches, great restaurants and an Arcade at the piear. The Pavilion at the Pier features live music, Farmer's Market, and daily activities. We are located less than 2 miles from Ft.Fisher Ferry, Museum, and NC Aquarium. What more could you ask for?
