Spacious Kure Beach home for Reunions & Families, with Pool & Steps to the Ocean

🌊 Spacious Coastal Home with Ocean Views | Walk to Beach & Kure Pier | Private Pool

Welcome to your Kure Beach retreat — a beautifully designed custom home just one block from the ocean and a short walk to the Kure Beach Pier, local restaurants, and island favorites.

This home was thoughtfully built for gathering, relaxing, and making lasting beach memories. With nearly 4,000 square feet, it offers plenty of room for multiple families or groups to stay comfortably together while still enjoying their own private spaces.



✨ Designed for Gathering

The top floor is where everyone naturally comes together. The reverse floor plan takes full advantage of ocean views and natural light, creating a bright, open space for relaxing and entertaining.

The living room features expansive windows with views of the beach and ocean, while the large dining area comfortably seats 12 (plus additional bar seating), making it perfect for shared meals and celebrations.

The kitchen is both functional and beautiful, with custom cabinetry, a large island, double sink, two drawer dishwashers, and a stunning Italian gas stove — ideal for cooking everything from casual breakfasts to family dinners.

Step out onto the top-floor balcony to enjoy your morning coffee, feel the ocean breeze, or unwind in the evening while watching the moon rise over the water. During the summer, you may even catch fireworks in the distance.



🛏️ Comfortable Spaces for Everyone

This home is designed to give everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected.

• Top Floor Penthouse Suite: A peaceful retreat with soaking tub, oversized tiled shower, sitting area, and TV
• Queen Master Suite: Private and spacious with sunset views overlooking the pool
• King Master Suite: Comfortable and well-appointed with its own bath
• Additional King Bedroom: Includes balcony access
• Queen Bedroom: Bright and welcoming with balcony access
• Ground-Level Studio Suite: A great space for kids or an additional family, with bunk beds (full + twin), mini kitchen, private bath, and entertainment area

All full bathrooms include shower/tub combinations for added convenience.



🌴 Outdoor Living & Relaxation

After a day at the beach, the outdoor spaces become your favorite place to unwind.

• Private pool with built-in bench seating
• Screened-in porch with comfortable seating
• Backyard with sound system for music and gatherings
• Gas grill for easy outdoor meals
• Large outdoor shower with hot and cold water

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning or an evening together under the stars, there’s space for everyone to relax.



📍 Prime Kure Beach Location

Located on a quiet, charming street, this home offers the best of both worlds — peaceful surroundings with everything close by.

Walk to:
• The beach (just one block away)
• Kure Beach Pier
• Local restaurants and ice cream shops

Nearby attractions include Fort Fisher State Park, the North Carolina Aquarium, and the Fort Fisher ferry to historic Southport — a favorite day trip for many guests.

Carolina Beach and Wilmington are just a short drive away for even more dining, shopping, and activities.



💫 A Place Guests Return To

Families and groups love this home for its spacious layout, inviting gathering areas, and unbeatable location. It’s the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the balcony and days end by the pool or sharing stories from the beach.

We hope it becomes a place you return to year after year.

Well, it is hard to pick just one thing because everything was perfect for our large family that was in town for a wedding. Erin was a wonderful host. We were so comfortable and it had everything we needed. We were close to the venue and in a great neighborhood to go for walks. I would highly recommend. I purposely woke early to watch the beautiful sunrises that can be seen at this house. Loved drinking my coffee on the covered deck while watching the sun rise in the sky. Also, lucky enough to see some beautiful shrimp boats pass by.

Tons of space

There was plenty of room for our group of 15 adults! Great location close to the beach and only a short drive to anything else you need. There were plenty of useful kitchen items and equipment for the beach. We loved using the pool in the back too!

Family vacation

Check in was very easy. Kitchen has everything you needed, lots of cooking supplies. Kitchen chairs could use a refresh as the seats had very little padding. The house was perfect for our group, close to the beach, pool was perfect for the smaller kids . Despite the first day and a half of air conditioner problems we had a great time. Communication with the owners was 5*.

The photos are too modest

The photos don’t show how well outfitted and comfortable this house is. The view of the ocean is quite nice. And it’s only a 5-minute walk to the beach, 10-minute walk to the little town center. Our family of 5 + 2 was able to spread out and relax. Also, great and responsive service from the owner. Kure Beach itself is a hidden treasure, so is this house!

Overall, the house was great. The space was exactly what we needed for a big group. And the location was easily walkable to the beach. Our biggest disappointment was the pool area. We had small kids looking forward to using the pool. The pool was full of sand and leaves upon arrival. Additionally, a roof was being repaired next-door and shingles/etc were also in the pool. The pool deck and furniture could all use a scrub. Indoor Furnishings and towels are all quite worn and unimpressive. Disappointed to walk in and see old slip covers on the couch cushions. The kitchen was well supplied. The communication with the property manager was quick and easy. Nice large house in a great location, but could use some interior updates.

A treasure chest of good vibes

We loved our time at Kure beach. Erin was a gracious host, very attentive and quick to respond. The house was amazing and very accommodating for our family of 7 adults and 4 children. It was clean and stocked with paper supplies. We had plenty of room to gather as a family as well as individual space. We loved the vibe of the decor, a mixture of New Orleans French, and laid back beachy reflected in a collection of antique pieces and decorating. The lower level was perfect for daughters family of four plus two dogs. The other family members used the second floor rooms with 3 bathrooms! One bedroom we didn’t even need. There was more than enough kitchen supplies and plenty of pantry room. All the appliances worked well. We didn’t really use the pool much to our surprise. It needed to be skimmed when we arrived and the patio furniture wasn’t clean either. This was not a big deal. We hosed it down ourselves. Again, very accommodating outside shower and hose. The town is adorable. A hidden gem. Thank you again to our host for providing a memorable stay.

The Kure is the cure!

I have done some traveling and several VRBO stays. This home is by far the best place we have ever been. It feels like a home away from home. Extremely well equipped and perfect for doggo! The furnishings exceed anything I have experienced. Erin is a warm and welcoming host. We have many medical challenges in our family and this place was perfect for everything we needed. The location is honestly better than oceanfront. The block and a half walk to the access is perfect. It was the perfect walk for doggo and us. Sometimes oceanfront is too much in some ways. We always stay oceanfront but I enjoyed this location more than oceanfront. I would suggest you check it out and see if you agree! We are a family that is familiar with Wilmington, Carolina Beach and Kure. As far as we are concerned, these are the best family vacation beaches right now. The southern hospitality of the locals is charming and pleasant. There are plenty of opportunities for whatever floats your boat. We chose a surfing lesson and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The surf and sand encountered at these beaches is beautiful and refreshing for the soul. Can't say enough good things about The Kure and the accessible and most cordial host. Don't delay to book a stay! You will be happy you did!

About the host

Hosted by Erin Maher

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Erin. I’m a New Orleans native who believes life is best lived near good food, great music, and the water.

My husband Steve and I fell in love with the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach area years ago and slowly began building our little dream on the island. What started as a single cottage project turned into a passion for restoring and caring for these charming beach homes so guests could experience the same relaxed coastal lifestyle that made us fall in love with the area.

Steve is the practical one who keeps everything running smoothly, while I focus on the design and the small details that make each home feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming rather than like a typical rental.

We take a lot of pride in our homes and truly enjoy hosting. Our goal is always to create a place where guests can slow down, relax, and enjoy time together — whether that means morning coffee on the porch, long beach walks, evenings around the fire pit, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze.

We try to make sure everything you need for a great beach stay is ready when you arrive, and we’re always happy to help with local recommendations or anything else that makes your trip more enjoyable.

For us, these homes are more than rentals — they’re places where memories are made. We hope you feel right at home here and love the island as much as we do. 🌊

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about island living. It sits in one of the most special parts of Kure Beach — close enough to walk to the beach, the pier, restaurants, and the boardwalk area, yet just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and relaxed coastal atmosphere.

This part of the island has a wonderful sense of community and a slower pace that makes it easy to truly unwind. Guests can start the morning with a walk to the beach, enjoy coffee nearby, spend the afternoon fishing or people-watching at the pier, and end the day with dinner at one of the local restaurants.

The location is also incredibly convenient. The beach is just a short walk away, and the nearby pier area often hosts live music, community events, and the weekly farmers market where families gather and enjoy the laid-back island vibe.

Another reason we love this neighborhood is that it still feels like classic Kure Beach — a place where you can feel the salty air, hear the waves nearby, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being by the ocean.

For us, this area offers the perfect balance of walkable fun and peaceful island living, which is exactly what we hoped to share with guests when we chose to build our home here. 🌊

What truly makes this home special is that it was originally built as our family’s legacy beach house, the place where we raised our children and created many of our favorite memories.

Because of that, the home was thoughtfully designed to bring people together while still offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The bright open living area connects the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces so families can gather comfortably after beach days, while the large dining table and oversized sectionals make it easy for everyone to be together.

Upstairs, the penthouse master suite offers beautiful ocean views and a spa-like retreat with a jacuzzi tub and large shower. The middle level includes additional bedrooms, including two en-suite suites that work perfectly for multi-generational groups.

Outside, the backyard becomes its own relaxing retreat with a pool, patio dining, chaise lounges, and a screened porch that creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening conversations.
