This home was in a great location, quiet neighborhood and a short easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed having the use of both decks and the swings were great, the common area was perfectly laid out for a large family and we appreciate the use of the wagon and beach chairs. However, there was lack of communication prior to the trip, leaving us unaware that towels, toilet paper, paper towels and linens were not provided until a few hours before check-in. So be aware you will need to provide these items for your trip.
Our family get-together of 10 really enjoyed our stay. The location was private and quiet, while having close access to the beach. The owners were very responsive and accomodating to our requests. One of our littles accidentally left a stuffy at the rental, and John was able to find it and ship it out to us - we really appreciated the quick responses and helpfulness!
We would definitely recommend a stay here and will be back!
House Location and everything was great except the dish washer smells bad and the couch was dirty under the pillows tried to call to notify but no answer or response other than that it was a success

We returned to this house because it is in a nice location. The house wasn’t very clean last year, but doable. The refrigerator had cooling issues last year, and nothing was changed or corrected. It smelled like rotten fish. This year it was much worse and we had a/c unit issues which resulted in a ceiling coming down in the bathroom on the second floor. Communication with the owner was subpar. Apparently, according to the a/c repair company, the problem has been ignored, repeatedly. He grudgingly reimbursed our family for two days and a ruined overnight bag, where we dealt with issues since mid-week. We are a family of 12 that had to manage using just two bathrooms. I would suggest finding other accommodations. With the right ownership, this would be a lovely property.
This house was perfect for my family and my sister's family. There was plenty of space and the main living space was large enough for all of us!
Not sure if it was my lack of reading about the house, but the top 3rd floor that has the queen bedroom is also were the kitchen, living room and dining room are too. I assumed the 3rd floor only had the one bedroom and bathroom.
thanks for letting us stay at your house!
The house was clean and wonderfully located. We loved the view.

Nice but could have been cleaner
Older property that could use a good cleaning and some fresh paint, new carpets and updates in the bedrooms. Although the kitchen is beautiful and has a lot of nice features and updates it had minimal supplies, pots that looked like they had been used over a campfire, and no sharp knives for cutting things like vegetables. If you’re looking for a large house with a nice amount of bedrooms and bathrooms and don’t necessarily care about aesthetics then this is a great place to stay!
In general the place is nice and has plenty of space. The cleaning crew should be ashamed of the quality of work. Soap scum on shower door, baseboards haven't been dusted in weeks, dust on ceiling fans and registers, there was even a pile of dirt left in the corner of the kitchen. I am not one to want to look for a full reimbursement but I feel that I should not be charged for the cleaning service as it was not clean when we arrived. Hoping the property owner/management will take care of the cleanliness. Other than that home accommodated our needs.
The stay was amazing!!! The beach was amazing. Everything at the house was exactly how the owers said!!! My only complaint was the comforters in the rooms and the mattresses were all dingy and dirty looking. Other than that it was AMAZING!!!
Thank you so much for this pleasurable visit!!!!
The home is well appointed and spacious. Plenty of room for us to be together and enjoy some privacy. It is in a beautiful area and convenient to everything you need. Be sure to checkout the nearby aquarium.
We were expecting to entertain 18-24 people for my sons wedding and hurricane Ian disrupted those plans a bit. Ended up being only 9 of us but the house would have easily held us all for dinner/drinks. Abby and John were gracious and accomadating. Enjoyed the stay!
Very easy check in. A little surprised that sheets, towels, and extra paper products weren't included. But accommodations were spacious and perfect for our family trip with kids and grandkids. Super close to the beach and plenty of parking.
This was a beautiful home and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. However, the house was not cleaned well at all. We had to clean when we first arrived.
This property was the perfect place for my family and me! 2 short blocks to the beach, which was our only desire! The rest of the town, and all it had to offer, was just icing on the cake!
Only 2 things could have made it better...
1 Perhaps a baby gate at the tops of each set of stairs.
2 A few more kitchen items (measuring cups/spoons, for example).
It was a great time though! I would highly recommend this property...but don't contact the owner (whose phone number is on the listing)...keep your communication between yourself and the property manager.
My family and I had a GREAT time renting this property in Kure Beach. We are a big group and struggle to find a property that fits our needs. This one knocked it out of the park. We were comfortable and had our own spaces and didn’t feel cramped when gathering in the common areas. Location was perfect to the beach and boardwalk with shopping and dining only a couple miles away in every direction. We loved it so much we booked again next year! The hosts were easily accessible and answered all questions immediately and were very hospitable. 10/10 trip, already can’t wait for 2023!
This house was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 4 kiddos. The location was great and just a short walk to the beach and pier. The house was clean on arrival and the checkin was super easy. Would definitely stay here again!
Nice house and location. Not sure a cleaning crew came in before our arrival. The house had not been vacuumed or toilets cleaned. Dishwasher was full of dishes and there was a large comforter left in dryer. None of these things kept us from having a great vacation.
I got married at Fort Fisher beach and I used the property for the weekend. There was plenty space to prepare and accommodate my family. Close to Carolina beach and Fort Fisher beach. Abbey and John were responsive and always kind.
