Great Stay!

We loved the property and would highly recommend it. It was a convenient walk to the beach and dining, and a short drive to shopping and entertainment. The space was perfect for our family of four plus our dog. Consider this strong endorsement. --Andy

Amazing location and perfect little home!

We had a wide range of ages stay at this home (from 2yrs to 5ish) and WE ALL ENJOYED IT. Great amount of space for the kids to play around also! Not to mention - the SUPER SHORT WALK to the beach! We enjoyed our stay and everything that the host had to offer within the home, plus great communication. Thank you for hosting us :)

Lime in da coconut

Great beach cottage for 2 families to hang out before and after moving our boys into UNCW. We grilled steaks, played cards, enjoyed the beach, ocean, outdoor shower, comfy beds, TV, sofas, patio, and walking to the pier, restaurants and arcade. A great setting for launching our boys. Host was helpful and place was perfect.

Cute home. Looks better inside than outside :) Short walk to public beach access. About a block. Some places still not open and some only open part time. No beach toys, beach towels, bring them with you.

7 Midwest Gals Get Together at Kure Beach

We had too much fun! We rode bikes everywhere, played Pickleball, hiked the state parks, visited the historic site, took the ferries to Bald Head Island, walked the beach, ate a bunch of seafood, attended the Island Men Mac and Cheese Festival, and saw some amazing sunrises and sunsets. The dining room table was the best gathering spot. Erin was available if we needed anything. Hope to come back next year.

Great Trip at the Beach

We had a great time during out stay at this house! We had 9 people and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The house is located just one block from a public beach access so we could just walk back and forth whenever we wanted. The house was very well-stocked with dishes, linens, cooking supplies and paper goods. When we had a need, Erin was quick to respond. Another nice thing was the garage attached to the house where we could easily store sandy beach items. The outdoor shower was also a big bonus! We had a great time and definitely recommend this house for anyone wanting a fun and relaxing vacation at the beach!

Nice cottage

The kitchen is well equipped (there was even one tool in there that I couldn’t identify). Very close to an uncrowded stretch of beach, and a short drive to the more active sections of town. The stash of beach chairs and umbrella cart in the “garage” is also a nice touch. Carolina/Kure Beaches are beautiful and laid back (read not Myrtle Beach). They are great for a family getaway. Tony Silvagni’s Surf School is a great way to spend a few hours. Tony is one of the top American longboarders, but odds are he’ll be the one answering the phone if you call him. Great guy and great business he runs. I’m darn near 50 and he gets me up on the board.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Maher

I'm a New Orleans native, and love Music, food, and culture. I spent 30 years in Washington, DC in the promotional products business and chose to move to Kure Beach for a place to raise 2 spirited children. I am still very active with my promo business, and also have 4 other rental properties on the island.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to the beach and downtown Kure Beach is spectacular. This location is considered downtown Kure Beach, just 5 short blocks from the pier. We love this location because it's just a short distance from all the chaos, and where you can really relax. We love that the cottage is on the ground, and not a vertical situation, like most other homes in the area. Step out on the porch, put your feet on the grass, hear, smell, and see the ocean begging you to come play in the sand.

What makes this property unique

This home was completely gutted on the inside, restoring the old pine walls and ceilings, sleeping porch to its new glow.
