About this property

"Beach Lady", Oceanfront, 6BR/5BA, Luxury on the Beach

The Beach Lady is a 3000 square foot oceanfront home that was designed and built in 2003. The main floor has picture windows facing the ocean that run the entire width of the house, which provide breathtaking views of the Atlantic. Outside the main floor is a 700 square foot deck that also runs the entire width of the house, providing rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs, and picnic tables for enjoying the sun and ocean views. The main floor also has a fully equipped kitchen with two full-size refrigerators, a dining table that seats 12, an adjacent table that seats 4, and a counter that seats 3. The dining area opens onto a living space with three sofas and a 60-inch high-definition TV, complete with a surround sound system, a Blu-Ray/DVD player, and a cable for connecting your iPod or MP3 player. The Beach Lady also has wireless internet service that broadcasts from the main floor.

The Beach Lady has six bedrooms and five full bathrooms. The first floor has a bedroom with two twin beds, a private bathroom, and a TV with a Blu-Ray/DVD player. The second floor, which is also the main floor, has a bedroom with a queen bed and bathroom that also connects to the main living area. The third floor has four bedrooms, two with king beds and private bathrooms, one bedroom with two twin beds and a vanity with a sink, and another bedroom with a queen bed and a set of bunk beds. These two bedrooms share a bathroom just off the adjacent hallway. The third floor also has a den with a sleeper sofa, an Adirondack chair, a large TV with a Blu-ray player, and a LifeFitness Lifecycle you can use to exercise while enjoying the ocean view. Also on the third floor is a separate laundry room, which has a full size washer and dryer. All Blu-Ray/DVD players can connect to the internet, and the TV on the second floor is connected to Spectrum cable. We also provide a collection of DVDs for your enjoyment. Starting in 2024, linens are provided, including bed sheets and pillowcases, bath towels and washcloths, bath mats, and kitchen towels.

Our guests consistently talk about how the Beach Lady feels comfortable and homey. She is decorated throughout with pictures and knick-knacks that create the flavor of living at the beach. We also provide books that include fiction and non-fiction, with several titles selected to help you discover the cultural and natural history of Kure Beach and the North Carolina coast.

The area surrounding the Beach Lady is a truly wonderful oceanfront community. Kure Beach is a former fishing village that lies between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. Just to the south of Kure Beach are historic Fort Fisher, the NC Aquarium, and a ferry that connects you to Southport, a quaint village with antique shops and nice restaurants. Just past the ferry station is the mouth of the Cape Fear river, where you can view Bald Head Island and gorgeous sunsets. To the north of Kure Beach is Carolina Beach, with lots of shopping, restaurants, and a small amusement park. Further north is Wilmington, which has first-class shopping, museums, art galleries, restaurants, water parks, golf courses, and the USS North Carolina Battleship.

Perfect for Nana’s 80th!

The 7 of us absolutely LOVED The Beach Lady, and hope to return down the road! BEST huge beach-facing deck ever—with shade and sun and all types of seating, amazing panoramic views across the entire front, plenty of bathrooms, long dining table seating many, a puzzle/game table, fully-stocked kitchen, a humongous TV, lots of beach chairs for renters,…It’s a dream. Rent it! You won’t be sorry!

We love the Beach Lady

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beach Lady. The views from the main living area were even better than portrayed through the pictures on the listing. Having private beach access was amazing! The back porch was likewise better than expected and we enjoyed it out there when we could escape the heat.

Wonderful family beach vacation!

Our family of 5 adults and 3 children, ages 6, 4, and 2, stayed at this property the week of July 4th. The location was perfect, parking for 4 vehicles, and beautiful views. The 2 refrigerators were a welcome feature and defnitely utilized...what a great idea for large groups!! The kitchen has everything you will need for cooking at "home". Great restaurants close by for pickup were such a great convenience! Huge dining room table and seating at the bar were just what we needed. The bedroom configuration was perfect for the family with 3 young children as well as single adults! The extra TV/living room on the third floor was great for the kids as well! No need to bring chairs or toys for the beach...all you could need are in the garage!! If you need a great family vacation home, away from the crowds, this location on Kure Beach is the perfect choice!!

Pillow Talk

We had a wonderful time at the beach. The house was great, but not immaculately clean. Bed pillows were stained with yellow spots. The house is in a great location with 2 garages, so no problem parking. There were plenty of books and games, 2 refrigerators and a charcoal grill. Just bring your own pillows!

Wonderful stay

The house is so spacious and well stocked. We had everything we needed. It was fun to be right on the beach. The waves and undertows are pretty strong so it's not ideal for the kids but they had a great time. We had no problems checking in or getting in contact with the owner.

Already planning for next year

The Beach Lady was an excellent rental property for my family in September 2023. It was spacious, clean, and had all of the amenities a family may need when cooking and spending time together in a different space for a week! The house was very comfortable and truly felt like a home - what a difference that makes. Betsy was incredibly supportive leading up to and following our rental dates. I could not have asked for a better stay at a better house!

Great House!

My family, my sister's family, and our Mom had a wonderful stay. The location in the "middle" worked nicely. My husband brought his bike and rode all over that island. The main floor bedroom was perfect for Mom, as she didn't need to navigate stairs too often, and she loved the view. Betsy was available via text and responded quickly - very nice lady! The beds were the most comfortable we've slept on... I miss that pillow-top mattress pad now that I'm home. Lots of games and puzzles to keep you busy when you aren't outside. There is a public beach access lot right next to the house, but it made for interesting people watching - we even saw a wedding! A few minor maintenance needs (what beach house doesn't have those!), but overall the house was amazing and we had a wonderful time. Would stay there again!

Excellent!!!!!!!

The location is perfect for surf fishing, the pier is 1/2mi north. 3.5mi south of the nightlife. Everything was perfect about the place. The beach, the furnishings, the water has good pressure, the water on the dock works, the grills, the kitchen utensils are in abundance, the 2 refrigerators and ice makers work very well, the long table is awesome, the TV's work and their smart TVs, two garage spaces for your gear or car, the beds were comfortable, there were plenty of blankets so we just used those to cover up on top of the bed since we couldn't find sheets. 1 issue: If you're looking on the VRBO app, there is a special note that isn't there on the app. I was sent it by text after we arrived but it's not on the VRBO listing so we didn't know. You'll have to bring your own sheets, pillow cases, towels, hand towels, washcloths or rent them from a rental company which is on the VRBO on a computer but not on a phone app. It's also hidden in the computer version of VRBO under Amenities at the bottom. Here it is. We provide beach chairs, sand toys, kites, and bocce ball for you to enjoy on the beach. The walkway from the beach to the house has a shower and hoses for cooling down and rinsing off the sand. Under the deck is a Weber charcoal grill and fish cleaning table. We do not provide linens, but they are readily available from nearby companies that will deliver them to you and pick them up at the end of your stay. For this service, we suggest you contact Seaside Linen & Rental Company

wonderful!

My extended family enjoyed staying here. Owner keeps the house up nicely, and property manager checked in to make sure everything was fine. Some houses we've stayed at in the past have a wide range of bedrooms such that some were not nearly as nice as the others - we especially liked this house because ALL of the bedrooms were nicely decorated so everyone was really happy with the room they got. Grandparents liked the short boardwalk without too many stairs to the beach. Teens loved the bedrooms and video collection! We hope to be back!

The Perfect Vacation Spot

The Beach Lady was absolutely perfect for our family of 10! Our group consisted of three families that were able to have their own space if needed, but most importantly there was plenty of room to hang as a group inside or outside. The beach is truly right out your door making it so convenient to go back and forth all day and night!! The Beach Lady is within walking distance of the Kure Beach Pier and just a short drive to Carolina Beach. As you can tell we loved our trip to Kure Beach and that was largely due to the Beach Lady!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Edwards

Host profile image
My wife and I bought the Beach Lady in 2009. We have three daughters in high school and college, and the Beach Lady has become a home away from home for our family and an attraction for our extended family visiting from other parts of the country.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing at the North Carolina beaches for many years. We have spent time up and down the coast, visiting Kure Beach as well as places such as Corolla, Duck, Kitty Hawk, Nag's Head, Surf City, Topsail Beach, Emerald Isle, Wrightsville Beach, Oak Island, and Holden Beach. Once we discovered Kure Beach, we knew we had found something very special. Kure Beach is very relaxed and friendly, and it has a real home town feel. The Kure Beach Pier is the oldest fishing pier on the Atlantic coast, and walking down the pier is a nostalgic experience that sometimes includes the excitement of watching an angler land a King Mackerel. The restaurants offer good food served by friendly people who take the time to get to know you. Just south of Kure Beach is the Fort Fisher State Recreational Area, a large natural area with gorgeous windswept cypress trees, walkways near crashing waves along the shoreline, the NC Aquarium, and the Fort Fisher historic site. Just past these attractions is the ferry to Southport, a quaint town with Victorian houses and quaint boutiques and restaurants. To the north is Carolina Beach, which is more bustling than Kure Beach but worth the short drive for additional shopping and dining. We truly love Kure Beach and all it has to offer, and we look forward to using the Beach Lady as a gathering place for our family. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do and that the Beach Lady will be the anchor for many positive experiences and memories for your family.
