Great family getaway setup

The stunning views, pool, room setup (king with adjoining bathrooms) and spacious living area were fantastic for our group. Lots of storage for belongings. We would absolutely visit again! Only suggestions would be an ice maker, upgraded bath towels, small lamp for bunk room, and add a few kitchen items (crab crackers, steamer, outdoor plates for dining outside).

Kraken was Wonderful

Fantastic rental with everything provided for a large group! Only complaint was very thin bath towels and wash cloths, no bath mats, and only one kitchen towel!

Very nice House - The Kraken

Very pleased with the Kraken. House was good sized for our party of 8. Rooms and bathrooms were nicely insulated so sound was kept to a minimum. Lots of cookware and easy to cook in the kitchen. Two dishwashers made clean up easy. Gorgeous views from the two decks and easy access to the beach and the pool.

Perfect Family Getaway

The Kraken was a perfect place for our family of 5, with three kids 11 & under. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and the overall layout is great. I could see this also being great for multiple families vacationing together. Given it was April, I was a little concerned about pool heating because of the disclaimers and previous experiences at other properties, but the pool temp was perfect the entire week. Proximity to the beach allows kids to explore while parents relax on the deck and supervise from a distance. All around great experience!

The house was clean and perfect for us. Everyone had their own space

The kitchen was very well equipped. My son is a professional chef and he was very happy with the kitchen supplies. We stayed for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation. It was great, and we will definitely think about renting there again.

Family Vacation

Process for renting was easy. When I had questions- they were answered immediately. When we got there and the code didn’t work- a new one was issued within a couple of minutes. The only draw back is that we could not control the temperature. We would adjust it to warm up and it went back to where it was originally. Other than that- was an awesome place to stay and Will definitely be renting again in the future.

Our family is so blessed.

We have been going to Kure Beach for about 16 years as a family. The house was great for all of us. We could have private space when we wanted and also have plenty of room for the whole family to get together. The kitchen was well stocked and having 2 refrigerators was wonderful. Only wish there was an ice maker in one of them. We hope to lease it again next summer.

A beautiful property!!

We treated our family of 15 for our 50th anniversary. The house fit our needs perfectly with 4 bedrooms facing the ocean! From the teens to the 3 yr old those rooms were perfect too! One housekeeping item was not handled efficiently...the door directly to the pool was broken ( in the locked position) ..so that access was unavailable. Hopefully the next family had a working door lock! Despite some rainy days and Covid trying to dampen our fun it was a wonderful week for all of us! We would definitely return!
