Family Gathering at the Coast

Plenty of beds and bathrooms for 4 families to share. Short walk to the beach was great and plenty of food options that were only a short walk away.

Family Beach Werk

Very clean, nicely furnished and plenty of seating for the family. Exceptionally nice outdoor furniture on both decks. Short walk to a good beach and life guard tower. Well stocked kitchen and several little extras like starter coffee and huge pantry. This was our second visit to Kure Vida and we will be back.

Unforgettable weekend!

Staying at Kura Vida was an absolute dream! It was such a hit with all of our guests! The property was spotless and had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend! Parking was not an issue as just a block away is an entire street with paid parking. The parking is only paid until 5 PM, so we didn't have issues finding spots. The location is ideal, as everyone was able to come and go as they pleased, enjoying everything Kure has to offer. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Great house in a perfect location.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Kure Beach. The house had all of the amenities we needed, was modern and clean. With only a 2 block walk to the beach and a wagon supplied, it made our week super easy and relaxing.

Beautiful Home

Kura Vida is a beautiful, spacious and comfortable home located two blocks from the beach. My family had a "Family Beach Week" and decided on this home. We were not disappointed. It was he perfect location to gather around for food, games, laughter, sunshine, sand and an overall good time. Our host, Hayley, made communication easy and she was super kind. We will definitely be booking KV in the future.

Terrific experience

As a frequent user of VRBO properties, things can be pretty hit and miss. This particular stay was a goldmine hit. In fact, I think the listing does not do justice to the quality of the lodging, amenities, and proximity to the beach. The open living space and kitchen were second to none which is very important to our family as we tend to make our own food on vacation. The local beach is very nice and not crazy crowded like other parts of the outer Banks. The water was definitely clean and Waves were large enough to be exciting for the kids but not dangerous. The property owners were incredibly responsive and helpful with the whole check-in process. I never had to reach out for any issues as the place was well kept and immaculate. Anyways, this is a five-star stay and I'm looking forward to hopefully returning next summer.

Beautiful Home and Close to Beach!

There was plenty of room for our group of 11, which included grandparents and small children. The beach was very close by, and we walked easily with out wagon and kids. The house is beautifully designed and decorated. Loved having laundry on the first and 3rd floor. Beds are comfortable!

Respite, Joy and Hope!

What a beautiful landscape to celebrate the union of my son and daughter-in-law! House offered calming and restorative ambiance with plenty of space to give newly weds privacy! First floor unit is self-contained—perfect for isolating from rest of group but just a few steps to join the festivities. House was clean, nicely designed and decorated, and full of amenities. Beach is close by, near pier and nice beaches. Exactly what’s advertised!

Family Beach Week

Property was excellent. Owner was exceptional in response to our requests. Layout respected privacy for each family. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of games and household supplies were available. Only complaint is that the beach had a steep drop-off which wasn't the best for our young kids.

Kura Vida

My family of 9 plus a baby had the best experience in this beautiful home! The pictures don’t do the property any justice because this house is truly a beauty! Everything is clean and Hayley has more than enough cleaning supplies/games and basically everything you would need for a wonderful stay! This was my first time traveling with an infant and it was great that their is a playpen and high chair! We will definitely be booking again this summer :)

Birthday Retreat

Several friends joined me to celebrate a birthday at the beach. KuraVida surpasses our expectations. Hayley was great in communicating the check-in process. Information on house amenities was easily located once at the house. It was such a great space to reconnect and relax. Additionally, the house was clean and comfortable. What a great location to disconnect and enjoy a few days at the beach.

Awesome Venue!

What a wonderful property. Cozy, clean, comfortable and convenient! This is a superb venue for a middle to large size family. There is plenty of room which allows everyone enough space to be comfortable. All the rooms, beds, bathrooms etc were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was nicely equipped. Having an oversized picnic table for the dinning area was a stroke of genius. Chairs on one side, a sturdy bench on the other side allowed the entire family to sit a the table together. The master bath shower was roomy and awesome. The king size bed in the master suite was very comfortable but a bit creaky. We made very good use of the washer and dryer which is conveniently located on the top floor where most of the family slept! The only knock, and it is a very small one, was the TV. We had to figure out how to use Hulu and finding something to watch was a bit of a struggle working through Hulu's viewing menus. A short walk of a block and 1/2 and we were on the beach. Because it was not on the main street, there was very little road noise. The homeowner was available via email or phone and communicated with us several times to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying the house! Overall the home was a superb venue to bring our family together for a week of fun and relaxation!! If we ever decide to gather again in Kure Beach, this will be the first place I check to see if it is available!!!

Beautiful home

Our family stayed at Kura Vida and had a wonderful vacation. We were a group of 13 and the home was perfect for this large of a party. It is definitely accommodating for up to 16. The location was great. Beach access was a 5 minute walk. Hayley let us use their chairs, wagon, and umbrella that was extremely helpful. The home decor was beautiful, comfortable beds, clean and inviting. The outdoor shower was great too. We had 4 teenage boys who stayed in the downstairs room. It has a large tv, mini fridge and patio. They loved it! We did go into Carolina Beach and ate at Nikki’s Sushi one night. It was the best sushi many of us have ever had! We also picked up a seafood pot from Cape Fear Boil Company one night. It was so easy and wonderful seafood! We got these recommendations from a book Hayley provided with local suggestions. Hayley responded very quickly to any questions we had and sent welcome information prior to our stay. We would highly recommend KuraVida! Our kids are already asking to go back next year!

Fabulous Beach House

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is immaculate and beautiful! Love the view of the ocean from the 3rd floor master bedroom porch. The house is in a great location to Kure Pier and only a couple of blocks from the beach. Hayley has thought of everything you'll need for a fun beach vacation. We were so surprised by how well she has equipped the house. All we really needed to bring with us were our bathing suits, towels and sunscreen. Hayley also made booking the reservation extremely easy and was quick to respond to our questions. Thank you for helping make our special family beach vacation fabulous!
