Tidal Watch 2 \/ Steps to the Sand \/ 2 Kitchens
About this house rental
Situated in Kure Beach, this charming house for $346 per night is a great choice for your next break. Come share our piece of paradise! Tidal Watch underwent a full renovation in 2020 and features ocean views from the top floors and an ocean lullaby at night. A large wrap-around deck and a huge Live Oak tree provides a great outdoor space. The house has new appliances, updated kitchens, and bathrooms in the main house and apartment as well as a beautiful master suite. The main house has 4 beds, 3 baths, with 2 beds and a bath in the ground floor apartment, accessible through the garage. The house was carefully renovated in 2020 and set up for guest use. We ask that you are respectful of the property as the owners use it personally as well. We provide all the basics - 2 full kitchens stocked with basic cooking and dining essentials (kids sets also!), linens, 2 sets of washers and dryers, soaps, toilet paper, and detergents to get you started. If you have a large group or are staying for several days, please pack extra essentials you may need. Enjoy your stay! There is one pack and play available for guest use. If you need additional items, such as beach gear or baby gear, we're happy to offer recommendations for rentals locally. The guests have access to the entire house, garage, and yard except for a few owner's closets on the property. If you need us, send us a message! The neighborhood is quiet - most of the houses on the street and behind us are full-time residents or snow-birds. Please be respectful of our neighbors! Dear Guest, These rules are in place to ensure you have a great stay while also adhering to the owner's rules and avoid disturbing our fellow neighbors. Please take the time to read these rules and share these with your guests. 1. We are unable to accommodate early check in or late check out. Please plan your arrival and departure with this in mind. 2. We do not allow smoking inside or outside of the premises. If you are a smoker you may want to consider booking elsewhere as any strong smoke order will result in a fine for odor removal. 3. If you are bringing your pup, please be sure they are included in your reservation. They MUST BE CRATED when left alone in the house, pick up after them before check out, and do not let them on ANY furniture including beds. There are different rules at different beaches for dogs, so please check those out ahead of time and pack beach towels for your pup. 4. Only the registered guests may stay within the home. Do not invite guests outside of those in your reservation. If you need to add an additional guest, please reach out to us and we can accommodate. 5.

A lovely home with lots of room to enjoy your family and/or friends. The kitchen is ready for all your cooking needs. We did not utilize the outdoor decks as we visited in cold /rainy weather. However, the furniture looked nice and inviting.
The owners are very accommodating and respond quickly to any inquiries.
We highly recommend this beautiful home.

This was the perfect beach house for our family! Everything was amazing, and the hosts were super responsive.
Super short walk to the beach that my young children were able to walk without being carried. Part of our family hopped on the nearby ferry for a day trip to Southport. Highly recommend!

Overall it was a nice stay! Beach is an easy short walk, access is simple and no boardwalks involved (great to bringing a wagon and with small kids), house has plenty of space, and beds are comfortable. Bonus was the 3 fridges which helped us not go to the store as much. My family and I enjoyed the house!

Family Vacay win
Our annual family beach trip was a huge success again this year because we were able to stay at this property. Because we stayed last year, we knew the quality items ready for us and were able to pack less. Thanks for an amazing beach house!

The house was absolutely perfect for our family. Everything was brand new Nd remodeled in a very nice way.. it was also super clean. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was completely equipped with everything you need to cook. The owners were very responsive getting back to me immediately with any questions I had.
You are not even a block from the beach It’s a 5 minute walk to the ocean. The area is residential, peaceful and people are very nice and respectful. I will be returning hopefully very soon and would again stay at the property.
Its a very warm home. It’s very big and easily acomódales numerous couples and or a big family. There is an apartment downstairs that was an added bonus. My daughter came from college to meet us and she had her own little apartment with 2 separate bedrooms. Easily could accommodate 4 people just in the apartment. Has a separate entrance for them to come and go..
it was so much fun staying here and enjoying the Wilmington area. It was quiet and peaceful to sit on the balcony and just relax listening to the ocean waves
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

What an amazing house and location! A complete and beautiful remodel. Four houses away from the beach. Beach caddy in the garage for ease of carrying everything to the beach. Such a warm and comforting home. Beautiful bathrooms and showers! Awesome water pressure. Beds all seem brand new and all extremely comfortable. All new appliances. Great washer and dryer. Beautiful decking that goes all the way around the house. Fenced in yard for our pup. Master bedroom and bathroom are an oasis. Beautiful windows and faces the ocean. You can hear the waves if you have a window open or are sitting on the balcony. The backyard is festive with lights, picnic table, and swing chairs. Propane grill with two tanks in garage. They really thought of everything in this rental. Baby/doggie gates on stairs, a portable crib, huge pantry to store all your food, gas stove, huge fridge in kitchen and in garage. The bottom floor also has an inlaw suite that we didn't to use but is really nice with full kitchen, new remodeled full bath and two bedrooms. We usually go to OBX n the summer but are looking to see if this house is available this summer sometime bc we all loved it so much. We brought our linens and towels no big deal. The master bedroom upstairs has a king bed and the other bedrooms are queens. The bedroom on the middle floor has a single day bed and futon. TVs in all the rooms. Two gas fireplaces, one in family room and one in master bedroom (good for winter months). We had the best time! Thank you!

This property was perfect for our family Thanksgiving celebration. It was clean, spacious, and beautifully furnished, with a well-stocked kitchen. The beach was just two blocks away and an easy walk. You could see the ocean from the upstairs bedrooms. The only negative was that we had to bring our own linens, and that was a lot for 7 people, 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms. At this price, I would have expected linens to be included. It was the first time we rented where they were not provided. Other than that, it was a great property and we enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay, roomy house, close to the beach. I had a few questions, the property manager was very helpful/attentive.
We chose not to rent linens which was fine, but forgot about bringing towels for bathmats (bring extra if you choose not to rent.) ;0

We were new to Kure Beach and found this house perfect for our family. It was evident that this home as been renovated recently and everything was new and very nice. Although linens were not provided the host provided a start up supply of all of the necessities (trash bags, soap, detergent, toilet paper and paper towels).
The in-law suite was perfect for our daughter and her young family to have a quiet place to retreat when the rest of the family was too much.
The beach location had a great sandbar that provided easy swimming for our young grandchildren and the Kure Beach Pier was less than a mile away. Access to the two car garage was quite a bonus to store beach store at the end of each day.
Thanks for sharing you beautiful home!

We had a great time during our stay…home is as pictured. Lots of space for our group of 8 adults and 2 children. Takes less than 3 minutes to walk the 100 or so yards to the beach!
You do need to bring linens (sheets & towels) which is a pain. Kitchen was missing few things we needed but we made do. Internet dropped multiple times each day. We simply restarted modem/router and it popped back up. Can’t give the place 5 stars…but would stay again

This was literally the most expensive house we've ever rented and we probably would have chosen something less expensive had any such option existed at the time we realized that the only week we could make our family vacation work so everyone could attend was the week of July 4th. Slim pickings available indeed!
However, the house was beautiful, well-appointed, and the beds more comfortable than any other place we've ever rented. Some places will say they sleep a large number of people, but you look at it more closely and people would be stacked on top of each other; this place has more than enough room for a large group (we were 10) and it's very comfortable! The kitchen was also well-stocked with new appliances and supplies which made cooking our meals easier. The backyard was lovely and the perfect place to set up our croquet or cornhole sets for a relaxed family evening after a day on the beach. We had a great time and were sad to leave.
The hosts were also very responsive whenever we had a question. Like a previous poster, I was surprised that linens were not included at this price point. The main drawback of the place (commented upon regularly by the kids/teens in our party in particular) was the unreliable wifi. For many of us adults, it was a nice excuse to separate them from their devices!

This was the perfect house for our annual family beach trip! Love the short walk to the beach. It had everything we usually have to pack when bringing kiddos. The porch was so lovely and the backyard space was great for our non beach days. Thank you for a wonderful home away from home!

It was our first time at Kure, and we enjoyed it! Lots to do with our young boys (3) and (1.5), and a nice stay at our rental. For the price point, I was shocked to have to bring our own sheets, towels and linens. Overall, nice place, nice neighbors and nice stay!
