About this condo rental
Situated in Kure Beach, this attractive condo for $302 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. If you have ever seen the TV show "Buying Alaska," you know one of their opening lines is...In Alaska, the real amenities are on the outside. The same applies to Kure Beach. When your trip brings you to Kure Beach to enjoy all those amenities, I invite you to make the most of your trip with a stay at The Heart of the Sea. The Heart of the Sea is like no other at Kure Beach. Ground floor….corner unit….no stairs….with parking less than ten(10) feet from your front door! While not considered “handicap” approved, access to our unit with no stairs makes for the perfect vacation home! Step out your door and enjoy all that Kure Beach has to offer!! The Heart of the Sea is as close as you can get to the ocean at Kure Beach......unless you are in it! The Heart is ten(10) steps from the beach access. The beautiful bedroom has a new, comfortable queen size bed, 2 night stands, chest, and wall mirror....double closet with plenty of storage space... and a 25 inch TV. There are 2 bunks in the alcove with storage drawers for all those bathing suits and stuff the kids will want to bring! The living room furniture is so cozy and comfortable. You can sit in a favorite chair, on the sofa or in the recliner and still take in the amazing views without leaving the house! Charter Spectrum is both the internet and cable provider. You can enjoy the Spectrum Bronze package on the 42 inch smart TV. One bath....with tub and shower combo, lots of counter space and a washer and dryer for your convenience .

You will have a 180 degree view of the 41.1 million square mile Atlantic Ocean! Can it get any better? Yes! It can and it does! Sit in the one of the two hammock chairs on the deck once and you will never want to leave this island paradise! A charcoal grill for your use is located in the sand yard. Watch the dolphins play as you enjoy a meal on the built in deck bar! Don’t miss a thing trying to peer over the railing. When in the mood for sand and surf, bring your beach chairs and umbrella from home or utilize one of the local rental companies, that book you've been wanting to read.... and sit on the quiet beach that is literally seconds from your door! Let the magic happen! So much to do in the area and still feel like you have your own private island! The NC Aquarium is 1 mile away. The Civil War rich Fort Fisher is adjacent to our property.

My wife and I wanted to take one more beach trip in early September to officially close out summer. We found this absolute gem, and when I say ocean front, it doesn’t get anymore oceanfront. Easy to locate, clean and charming. We were more than happy and will absolutely be back next year. Thankful for good property manager/owner too.

I would highly recommend The Heart of the Sea!

Our stay was excellent, despite tropical storm Ophelia. The owner checked on us to make sure we arrived safely, kept us updated when we lost power for a bit, and even extended our stay to compensate for the temporary loss of use we experienced. Highly recommend!!

My husband and I enjoy our stay at the Heart. The ocean view was amazing. This is the closest you can stay to the ocean without being in the water. The place was very inviting and and had water views from standing in the kitchen to standing in the living room with surrounded views of the ocean. Very relaxing stay. Can't wait to come again.

We only had a few days stay but it was the best setup. The location was amazing and I’m in love with the back deck! My kids really enjoyed the house as well, it had everything we needed and everything we didn’t know we needed.

Great place, super cozy. Incredibly convenient parking. RIGHT on the water—high tide is at the front door. Beautiful spot right near the aquarium. Steve was great with communication. Bunk beds were great for 9 & 8 year olds.

We absolutely loved this place!! It was the perfect surprise stay for my hubby’s birthday and we plan to be back with our kids. You couldn’t ask for better views! We even decided to order in and eat on the porch because no restaurant could beat that view! And the condo is charmingly decorated. Thanks again for allowing us into your beautiful home!

Our second stay at the Heart within a year. Nice upgrades on the flooring, paint and deck chairs plus a second porch swing chair.
It's a great base for attractions and activities in the area and as ocean front as one can get.
We love the Heart and Kure Beach!

Cute little condo, clean and well equipped and just right for our little family. I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again if we come back to Kure beach. Condo was just like the listing describes. Thank you

This property has the best view of the beach! I could sit on the balcony for hours. The beach is about 5 steps from your door and you are minutes from shops and restaurants. The property owners are easy to reach and super helpful! We will definitely be back!

What a fantastic unit ! Could not have asked for a better location or cleaner place. This rental far exceeded my expectations ! Will most definitely try to book this specific rental again this summer !

We’ve been visiting Carolina Beach and Kure Beach for over ten years, and when selecting a VRBO spot, ocean front is a top priority. It simply DOES NOT get more ocean front than this condo! We had an incredible stay and will 100% be coming back to this lovely condo from now on. The patio swing chairs were definitely a highlight, as well as the perfect sunrise if you’re up early enough. See you next year!

Property exactly as listed. Clean, right on the beach, and the best views of the sunrise! Would definitely stay at this condo again.

This was the perfect place for my wife and I to enjoy our anniversary together. Our hosts Rita and Steve were very prompt and provided us everything we needed for a wonderful weekend! The views here are fantastic and is great area to enjoy the beach and all the other fun activities in and around Kure Beach. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again!

This property has the best views! We were in town for a wedding and got to see at least 6 other condos along Kure Beach that friends had rented. This condo has the best view!!
Easy instructions, well stocked, great communication! We spent most of our time out exploring (you can walk the beach for miles!) or sitting in the hammocks watching the waves come in. This truly is a gem!
5.0
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful property. The location was perfect - both the room, which couldn’t have been more conveniently located to the beach access, and the building itself, which is right by the park and therefore very private. The ocean sounds at night helped our baby sleep the best she ever has! The only negative was the noise associated with the construction going on in the condo directly above, but that’s no fault of the owners and surely only temporary. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

it was a short but great trip. we enjoyed our stay and got some time to relax and fish

We really enjoyed our time at this property on Kure beach. It is quite literally right on the ocean, and we enjoyed watching the birds and children enjoying the sand. Lots of shells! As well a porpoise swam by a few times! The condo is a good size, has a nice balcony and is well equipped. The first floor location makes privacy a bit of a challenge, but didn't take away from our experience. The owner is very communicative and we felt welcome!

Fantastic place right on the beach - and I do mean right on the water. Easy check in and out. Great host. I cannot complain at all. I'm sure we'll be back soon.

We had an amazing weekend stay. The condo is right on the beach - the water comes right up to the deck. It was beautiful! The owners were very responsive to any questions, and sent links prior to our arrival for things to do in the area. I highly recommend this condo for a quiet, relaxing vacation. It’s only a couple miles from restaurants, shops, and groceries, but very quiet because it’s the last residential unit on the beach, so hardly any traffic. Our favorite part of the condo was the deck with the hammock chairs. Loved it!

This was a wonderful place to stay. Very clean, very nice and couldn’t be any closer to the beach. The owner was very informative and communication was quick and easy. Definitely recommend for a nice beach getaway.

We loved staying at the Heart!! I loved being so close to the ocean. The deck with the hammocks was the perfect place to sit and read. The owners were great to deal with. Hurricane Ian came through the day before our arrival and caused some water damage. The owners had it fixed and just like new when we got there. I will be staying here again.

We came here for our honeymoon over the weekend and the whole time we felt like we were on a ship! The ocean was practically right underneath us! Global warming and erosion is causing this but we hope the Heart stays around for many more years to come. We were happy to discover a fan in the bedroom closet which made us sleep extra well since we both love white noise and use one at home when we sleep. Everything was perfect except for the shower head in the bathroom. The water coming out and the pressure is almost non existent so I’d take a look at it and see if that can be replaced but overall this was magical and relaxing. Thank you so much Rita and Steve. We’ll be back for sure!
