Long weekend at the Beach

We rented for a long weekend at the beach with 2-parents, 2-kids, Grandma and pup. House is well stocked with kitchen tools and board games. Location is unbeatable! Very much enjoyed the stay. Check-in and out was easy. Would recommend!

Not bad but not worth cost

No central air or window units in half the rooms. Not enough fans to keep air flowing throughout the house. Found several cockroaches in pantry, bedrooms and living room. Can’t see or hear the ocean, unlike description says. No extra linens, no hairdryer. Easy walk to beach.

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

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.

Had the most amazing stay!

Our stay for the weekend was absolutely amazing! Super close to little shops, bars/restaurants, and the perfect distance away from the beach. The decor of the house was so cute and made you feel right at home. Our host was super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend booking a stay here!

Love this cute little place!

Couldn’t make it to the beach for a full week so we found this little gem for a 2 night stay. Erin was very quick responding to a few questions we had. House is adorable! Plenty of room for me, my husband, daughter, son and 3 other 17 year old boys. Only one block from direct access to beach which was an easy walk. Be sure to check laundry room because it is full of beach goodies (beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, etc)…….we did not do that until check out. :( All sheets, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. were supplied too!! Thank you for making our first trip to Kure Beach a great one! We will be returning!!

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 :)

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!

Coming Home Again

Wilmington and surrounding were once my home for many years and I met my late husband there. We married and had our first place there in 2003. He passed suddenly, so I brought our 3 children and my mother back for a long trip down memory lane and this was the best home base that we could have asked for. My mom is elderly and isn't as able to move around as she used to be, so staying in a hotel with long hallways or a multi-story house with steps would have been terrible. It is close to the beach, Island Market, the golf cart rental kiosk, and Kure Beach Pier. Easy walking distance, super easy biking distance, and since we went with a golf cart to save gas on the island, everything was fast to get to. Beach access is free after 5pm during the season and there are cart spaces. The deck was our hang out spot and there is not much shade, but there is a table with an umbrella. If I were to make suggestions to the owners, one would be to install a mister system along the roofline above the back door, but that creates a new set of rules and maintenance. The patio string lights are no longer there and what looked like a fire pit is now filled in with flowers. All of which was fine for us. There was one digital clock in the kitchen, so if you're used to a device such as an Alexa or Google, you'll have to bring one. I would say that another suggestion would be to install an Echo Show, that people can't remove, to speak to loved ones, hear the weather, etc. Oh, and I did buy a wire wisk and left it in the kitchen drawer. My 8 and 11 year-olds stayed in the former sunroom and were very comfortable. My 14 year-old was also super happy in her room with the day bed and desk. There is a difference in the mattresses in the two larger bedrooms. I took the middle room with adjoining, shared bathroom. It was very soft. My mother took the bedroom with the private bath near the rear entrance, and the mattress was firm. They suited our needs, just know there is a difference. The house was very clean (!!!), but this is the coast and we have critters that the owner clearly does their level best to control. We saw several palmetto bugs, which are coastal cockroaches. 4 alive in the house, 1 dead, and of course, many outside. There was also a small snake and a mouse by the trash cans. This is normal, but be aware with kids at the coast. Mine are mini Steve Irwins, but the adults may want to handle the trash. The artwork is beautiful and the house is comfortable and cozy.

Teal & Purple Vacay House

Our stay was brief but relaxing and we loved our time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The quaint cottage was just the ticket and we had enough room to spread out and relax. I loved the bold color of the house and that's what most attracted me to the property. The inside was just as quaint. Great weekend overall!!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

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.
