Beautiful deck and view

We would definitely come back to this house. The deck is so beautiful and very relaxing- the outdoor furniture is great. The house is also quite spacious with 3 floors. Our only complaints are that the pictures make it seem like a newer property, and it’s definitely older with lots of marks on the walls. The beds also aren’t particularly comfortable (although the king bed is memory foam and very comfortable). Overall though, we enjoyed our stay - enough to come back in the future.

Great location and good family home.

Great location right on the beach with plenty of beach chairs, and outdoor shower. Five bedrooms worked great for four couples and a baby in the fifth bedroom good morning. At this time there was not air conditioning in one of the bedrooms with bunkbeds on the bottom floor so it was very hot. Overall a good family vacation home!

Wonderful location!

Great location- right on the beach and in the quieter part of the area, but easy drive to the restaurants and more commercial areas of Kure/ Carolina Beach. Home was very clean and kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Perfect family beach vacation.

Picture Perfect

We rented your wonderful 3 story beachfront house for a family gathering with my 2 sons and their families, including my 3 granddaughters and my 2 dogs (who were a big hit, especially with the youngest 1 1/2 yr old). Everything was as pictured. Loved the decks and balcony and boardwalk to the dunes. The weather was summer without the crowds. What more can I say? We would rent again in a flash.

Special Time With Family

There were 12 of us; six adults and six children ages 9 mos to 7 yr old. One family member forgot the pack and play, but there was one in the house as well as a portable high chair and toys that interested all of the children. The house was PERFECT - 3 floors so that everybody could have their own space. This was our first time staying in a house that was actually on the beach and it was the best part of the trip. The views were spectacular and it made going to the beach so easy with the little ones. The deck was another favorite for us - we lounged, played and ate out there. While in Kure, we visited the aquarium, Ft. Fisher, a local playground, the pier and went out for ice cream and all were within a five minute drive. We can't wait to go back again!

Even Better than Before!

Last week was the third annual get-together with a close circle of friends at System Shutdown, a lovely ocean-front house in Kure Beach. Since last year, the porch was extended quite a bit, giving much more space to hang out and move around. As usual, the house provided everything we needed for our comfort and enjoyment -- plenty of bedrooms and beds, beautiful ocean views, a well-stocked kitchen, bathrooms on each of the three floors, comfortable living and dining room furniture. It is clean, neat, and nicely decorated. The folks at iTrip are easy to reach and respond right away to questions. All the necessary info was delivered in a timely manner. We have only good things to say about System Shutdown and the folks at iTrip.

System Shutdown Success!

We really enjoyed our vacation home, System Shutdown! The house was clean and comfortable. This is a three story house. Keep that in mind if someone in your party cannot walk up stairs. Our favorite place to relax was the beautiful new deck facing the beach. The deck furniture is also new. We grilled out burgers one evening on the grill. The grill was clean and worked great! The kitchen had everything we needed and the appliances were nice and worked well. We had two issues and the management had them addressed by the end of the day. The communication with the management of this property is a 5 star on customer service! We appreciate that so much! Thank you!

What a view!!!

Our experience was outstanding. The beach/surf have been so enjoyable and SO PRIVATE. It's so great that the house has 2 umbrellas and sufficient chairs to use at the beach. The A/C works well - which is needed this week! The furnishings are newer and robust. The beds are newer and comfortable. The appliances are great. We have 3 generations here and it has been outstanding for all involved.

Beautiful weather, awesome deck, nice grill, plenty of beds and space for the family. My only negative is the AC didn’t cool downstairs living area very well. We did have a couple concerns and questions for the realtor and he was very responsive.

Favorite vacation home

We have rented this house for two years now and plan to make it three—will be reserving again tomorrow for next year. The home is clean, spacious, has a beautiful view, east walk down to beach on the home’s private walkway. We are a group of 10 friends—mostly from North Carolina—and fit comfortably in this house. This year I texted iTrip when we found one shower had no hot water. They responded quickly, checked it out, sent a plumber who quickly fixed it. We really appreciated the fast response and courtesy of the iTrip staff. I/We highly recommend booking with iTrip and the Systemshutdown house. Just don’t book on our yearly weekend date ?. We love this house!
