'Wow!' is the first word to describe this beautiful Victorian oceanfront home at family-friendly Kure Beach. This modern construction was designed by the architect to take maximum advantage of the spectacular ocean views from virtually every room! This is a distinctive home with crown molding throughout, oak hardwood floors and Berber carpet, breezy ceiling fans, an incredible two-story great room with foyer and staircase, and patio doors leading from the dining/great room as well as three oceanfront bedrooms to the breathtaking views from the seaside deck and balcony above. Nicely furnished and decorated, this is a wonderful vacation home for a family looking for a special place to make memories together.

As you enter the main floor, you are greeted by a majestic foyer and magnificent ocean views everywhere you turn. The main floor has an open floor plan with a two story great room, dining area and full kitchen. The great room has a 60 inch flat panel television with DVD, island themed furnishings, and two stories of gorgeous windows gazing out to sea. The modern granite kitchen is stocked with a set of cookware, bakeware, appliances, dishes and utensils. The adjoining dining area accommodates 8-12 and captures amazing ocean views. There is also a separate oceanfront bedroom with queen size bed, 37' flat screen TV and walk-in closet, plus a full bath and a laundry room with washer and dryer.

On the top floor, there are three additional bedrooms. The oceanfront master suite has a king size bed and flat screen TV/DVD and patio doors to the top balcony facing the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. It also has a large private master bath with double sinks, garden tub, separate glass enclosed shower and water closet, and an enormous walk-in closet. On the other side of the top floor, there is a spacious queen size oceanfront bedroom with TV and patio doors opening onto the top balcony, and a third bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. Also on the top floor is a second living area overlooking the main floor's great room with amazing two-story ocean views. The oceanfront deck below and the top floor balcony both feature fun and bright resin Adirondack style chairs and side tables for you to relax and take in the breathtaking oceanside experience. Our home also features a private walkway to the beach with a separate deck seating area even closer to the surf, plus an outside shower to clean off sand and get dressed, as well as an outdoor grilling and dining area. A large driveway in front of the home allows parking for 3-4 standard size vehicles.

Small family groups are encouraged. Our house is strictly a non-smoking and pet-free, animal-free home, due to serious medical allergies. We are not able to make any exceptions.

High-speed wireless internet access is included so you can stay connected to your life away from home. Routine departure cleaning service is included. We also provide resin chairs you can take on the beach and starter paper supplies and cleaning products, for your convenience. Finally, we try to keep rates down by allowing you to bring your own linens to our home, but if you prefer, linen rental is available at very affordable rates.

Kure Beach is a wonderful beach to spend your family vacation. The beach is clean and noncommercial. Located in an all-residential section of the island, our home is in a family-friendly community, and it's within close walking distance to the famous Kure Beach fishing pier. There are terrific restaurants at the pier to choose from and many other nice restaurants and attractions to see at nearby Fort Fisher (including the NC Aquarium and Fort Fisher Civil War sites) and Carolina Beach, each just a couple of miles away on the island. As we hope you can tell, we love our home and Kure Beach, and we hope you will enjoy them both as much as we do! Feel free to contact us with any questions.

Great host! Super beach home!

Spacious, beautiful, well-arranged beachfront home. Loved the multi-level views, porch swing, private beach access, grill, and parking. Bathroom counter space, hairdryers, drawers a nice touch. Kitchen uncluttered but well stocked and table well suited to dining and games. Truly a beach home!

We enjoyed this house and would be glad to stay again sometime. Home was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Ocean views were amazing and the house had an excellent location near a lifeguard station with an easy walk to the fishing pier.

Lovely home

This home is older with a Victorian feel, but with a typical beach charm at the same time. Great ocean views in almost every room. Enjoyed the immediate access to the beach. Having to bring your own linens for 7 people was a bit much, but better than the alternative of paying for expensive rented linens. Very good place for a beach vacation in quiet and beautiful Kure Beach.

A nice week at this house

The house was spacious and quite comfortable. We cooked all meals and the kitchen served us well. I especially enjoyed afternoons on the porch. It is a quiet area and the beach was never crowded.

The perfect Kure Beach location

The location of this beachfront home on Kure Beach is perfection. A very easy walk along the beach to the pier for restaurants, ice cream and the arcade (which our nephew loved!). There is plenty of space for everyone and the private walkway to the beach is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sun. The sunrises were AMAZING! Jenn is terrific to work with and super friendly.

Wonderful

We had a wonderful visit to Kure Beach and a splendid stay at this house. We were looking for a great vacation spot for our family to enjoy the beach together, and we found it! We also enjoyed taking the kids to the aquarium and carnival when we weren't hanging out on the beach. The house was lovely and clean, and the owner was delightful to work with. This was our first vacation rental by owner experience and it was very positive.

Wish we were still there!

We had a great time at Emmas Dream -we didn't want it to end. It's a great location on a quiet beach and a short walk to the peir and shops. Some days it felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. The house is very well kept, clean and its open floor plan gives you great views of the ocean from all over. We barely left the house/beach to go exploring. We made full use of the oceanfront deck each night. Overall a great vacation - Thank you!

Beautiful home on the beach

The stunning home has all the views with plenty of space. From the moment you walk into the front door, you’re enjoying the waves. Every child enjoyed their own bedroom while mom and dad had time to relax on the deck in the rocking chairs. We rented sheets and towels which were present when we arrived. Kure Beach is a quiet area without all the tourists, which we appreciated greatly!

Great location and wonderful views!

One of the best parts of this home is the owner, Jennifer, who is wonderful to work with :) And her family's home, Emma's Dream, is just as great. It is wonderfully located with beautiful views of the ocean from every window. The only issue we had was with the older bathrooms that presented a few problems during our stay, such as the master bathtub not holding water. Otherwise, this is a great family vacation home with plenty of room for everyone and direct access to the beach.

Kure Beach rental

This beach house was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay there. It was clean and very pleasant. Proximity to the beach was perfect. It was close to the pier, which was really nice. We did feel we had to pack too much to have a relaxing week at the beach. Providing our own sheets, towels, and bath mats was a bit much. We felt the cost of renting sheets and towels was way too expensive as I purchased sheets for less than the cost of renting sheets for the week! Over all, this was a great beach house.

Great Location and Great Views

Our group of 5 had a wonderful time during our stay at Emma’s Dream. Home was very roomy and clean. The views from the the two decks were wonderful. The swing was my favorite place to watch the Sun come up each morning. Jennifer contacted me prior to our stay and as promised we had all our check in info 3 days prior to our stay. We only had to contact Jennifer once during our stay and that was to see if we could book an extra night if it wasn’t rented and it wasn’t so we got to enjoy another great day at Emma’s Dream. I would definitely rent it again. We had a wonderful vacation and already planning our 2024 stay.

Lovely Kure Beach House

We enjoyed this beautiful home on our first trip to Kure. Our vacation experience couldn’t have been better. It was spectacular being oceanfront, and the whole house was nice. The kitchen was modern and appealing with new appliances, solid cookware and granite. We cooked a lot during our stay and put it to good use! The house was also very spacious. I liked how the rooms were generously sized and the layout of the house allowed us to spread out and enjoy some privacy. The large great room was fantastic to spend time together in the evenings. The decks outside were also spacious and I enjoyed relaxing in the swing with a glass of wine at the end of a tired fun day on the beach. :-) Thanks for sharing this terrific house with our family. We would like to come again some day.

Not as nice as comparable properties

Deck furniture puts your eye level with the rail - no way to see the ocean right in front of you. No table on the deck for playing games/eating. Plastic covering the chairs/barstools sticks to your legs. No trays to cover items out to the deck. No bedskirts to hide the box spring. No wine glasses. No rugs to stand on when getting out of the shower. Other comparable houses typically have these.

Beautiful home

Family and friends stayed at this beautiful home nestled right in the heart of Kure Beach. Plenty of sitting areas throughout the home. Scenic views from just about every room. The charcoal grill was the biggest thrill for everyone. Delicious food caught straight from the backyard! The ice maker was making loud noise but Jennifer and Ralph acted quickly to get it fixed. Bathrooms are a little tight but nothing that would take anything away from having a wonderful/relaxing time at the beach. Thank you Jennifer and Ralph!

Why they chose this property

This is our family vacation home which we love very much. It is a special place to make family memories, and we enjoy sharing it with you.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful oceanfront home in desirable Kure Beach. Superb location in the heart of Kure Beach with incredible oceanfront views!

This is a family-friendly beach that is close to many conveniences and attractions.

Our favorite attractions are the North Carolina Aquarium and the Civil War sites at Fort Fisher!

The beach is nice for shelling and finding fossilized shark's teeth.

You can take a quick walk (only 4 blocks) to the Kure Beach Pier, restaurants, Bud & Joe's, arcade and the Oceanfront Park which hosts wonderful free summer concerts.

Carolina Beach boardwalk is a short drive away. The amusement rides and carnival games are perfect entertainment for the whole family. So are the weekly fireworks shows at the boardwalk hosted throughout the season.

You can also enjoy free family movies at the lake as well as the Saturday Farmer's Market.

The car ferry to Southport is a fun day trip to Sourthport you may want to consider.

Finally, downtown Wilmington is a great place to visit. We also love the historic Battleship North Carolina!

As our guests, we'll send you an email before your stay that includes a guide of area activities and fun things to do for your family to enjoy during your visit.
