Great family vacation house

The owners of this property are wonderful to work with. Check in/check out process is easy. We love that this house looks like a beach house, but has comfortable beds and is very clean. This was the perfect house for our family beach vacation and we loved our stay in Kure/Carolina beach!

Perfect!

Our family loved this house.....it's well maintained, comfortable all around with room for close famiy time or quiet personal time. The kids enjoyed the beach and playing under the house. We walked to Kure Beach Pier, the Tiki Bar and to the Boardwalk each day...even in the rain. Looked for Venus flytraps at Carolina Beach State Park, went to Hang Ten, the Veggie Wagon, the Seawitch and Uncle Vinnies...had Seafood Boil from CFSB....We love this area so much.

The house was beautiful and in immaculate condition.

The house was beautiful. Very clean and wonderfully decorated. IIt also has a very nicely stocked kitchen. I highly recommend this house. Nice size bedrooms and bathrooms. And all just so pretty. The big porch, the easy access to the beach and the lower deck were such a bonus!!

Great house

Great property & location. Our only criticism is not of the property but of the beach itself. There was a substantial drop off in the water that made it treacherous as the waves tended to crash onto the beach. There is also a “storm drain” that extends into the ocean directly behind the house that posed a danger as the life guards were constantly having to steer people away . Lifeguards were definitely a plus!

Well-stocked and perfect location

This 5 BR 2.5BA oceanfront house was well-stocked and the location exactly 1mi north of Kure Beach pier and 1mi south of Carolina Beach pier/boardwalk was ideal. The beach was recently renourished in Feb 2016 (eg, sand from miles out in the Atlantic is slurried-in to build up the beach) and therefore quite substantial. The sheets must've been 400-count cotton because they were luxurious - nice if you have a sunburn! The photos and artwork/decor were very tastefully done. The kitchen had every possible gadget and serving utensil (sans some good slicing knives) and both drip and Keurig coffee makers. Each room has a TV. The Internet was fast. The front porch was deep with a nice 6-person table for games and cards + 6 rocking chairs. The kitchen table was long and could seat 10 (we did!). Nice gas grill and lots of beach chairs (though some were rusty from the ocean). I especially liked the layout of the master bed with its own bathroom/laundry tucked away down the stairs and away from the noise of the kitchen and living room. We rented this home for our family with adult children and their friends and it was perfect. The living room had a pullout couch but we didn't use it. The house came with all the linens (plus extra) so we didn't have to bring those. There were lots of spices to choose from plus starter paper goods, which helped a lot when we decided to cook. The only issue we had was our son got a cut on his hand from the barnacles growing on the concrete blocks in front of the house in the ocean - so don't climb on those! We did have to bring beach towels, coolers, and a cabana and some extra folding beach chairs. I would hands-down recommend this place to anyone and we have already reserved a week again next year.

Plentiful amenities

Best rental in 5 years. The beds are comfortable, not overly soft. The linens are upscale. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The gas grill was a plus. Exquisite view of the ocean and dunes. Central to Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. Not overly crowded on the beach. We will definitely plan a return visit to this house.

A little surprise

This was a beautiful, well maintained property with an excellent view of the ocean and a private deck to the beach. My only criticism is finding out beach towels and beach chairs were not include. I don't feel this was clearly stated on the posting, as one of the pictures shows beach chairs on the deck and one of the reviews mentions that it was great to have the chairs and towels included. Please understand that two of our party flew and our car was packed with supplies for everyone. I think a few chairs and towels should be included. We have rented houses for the past 20 years including several beach houses and this was a first. This is my only negative comment I can make. It is a beautiful home!

Pros: nice layout, clean, great location Cons: Ant problem in the sandy areas (some got into my daughters car even though she parked a good 5-6 feet from sand area), saw several roaches on the porch and 3 inside the house.

Perfect Vacation Home

This property has everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation. Having the towels and linens provided were a definite plus. Beach chairs and lots of outside toys provided. The underneath porch area was perfect for the kids to pay in on rainy days and to be out of the sun. This is not our first time staying here and WON'T be our last. We loved it.
