I have done some traveling and several VRBO stays. This home is by far the best place we have ever been. It feels like a home away from home. Extremely well equipped and perfect for doggo! The furnishings exceed anything I have experienced. Erin is a warm and welcoming host. We have many medical challenges in our family and this place was perfect for everything we needed. The location is honestly better than oceanfront. The block and a half walk to the access is perfect. It was the perfect walk for doggo and us. Sometimes oceanfront is too much in some ways. We always stay oceanfront but I enjoyed this location more than oceanfront. I would suggest you check it out and see if you agree! We are a family that is familiar with Wilmington, Carolina Beach and Kure. As far as we are concerned, these are the best family vacation beaches right now. The southern hospitality of the locals is charming and pleasant. There are plenty of opportunities for whatever floats your boat. We chose a surfing lesson and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The surf and sand encountered at these beaches is beautiful and refreshing for the soul. Can't say enough good things about The Kure and the accessible and most cordial host. Don't delay to book a stay! You will be happy you did!

Lovely spacious home. Tastefully decorated and a beachy feel. Great for a large family. we only had 6 there but it worked. Pool was cold so we didnt use it at all. Very well stocked with everything you need for cooking and comfort. Some of the furniture needs a good cleaning. beds were very comfortable.
Has an elevator that got stuck a few times but able to figure it out. Front door had a lock that was finicky but was able to figure that out too. We informed the owners that the pool turned cloudy for reason unknown. Also reported to them a stained mattress in the Master. Overall a great relaxing stay.

Very clean, comfortable house. We loved the kids area and that they could be loud away from the family space! Short walk to beach and short drive to really good restaurants! Some of the appliances were tricky to figure out and there was a leak in one of the showers that wasn't able to be fixed while there which was challenging with the size of our group, but the Owner was trying to get it fixed but unfortunately wasn't able to while there . Overalll-we had a great week!

Great house, very clean, owner is easy to work with. We were off the beach for the first time in 20 years and we all agreed the beach was close enough and we really didn't mind it at all. Elevator was great for relatives that needed assistance. Would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Stay
Beautiful home situated a very close walk to the beach. Our family enjoyed our stay there- even though the weather didn't cooperate. The pool in the back was on the smaller side, but the water was warm and the children had fun! The owner was extremely quick to respond to all our questions and concerns! I would highly recommend a stay at this home for a relaxing vacation!

Great family fun
We stayed in this lovely home and it was wonderful. We had a little trouble with the gas oven but figured it out. I was very cool and comfortable. I should have brought a little couch blanket and my pillow, all minor details. Pool lady (was lovely) comes on Monday. Beach was close and great, not crowed. Had fun with the golf carts, you can rent at Kure Beach but make reservations. We didn’t have to pay to park them at beach, Freddie’s and Jack Mackerels is right down the street and Britts Donuts, In Carolina Beach is a treasure. We bought 13 dozen in a week! Overall a great family vacation.

The photos don’t show how well outfitted and comfortable this house is. The view of the ocean is quite nice. And it’s only a 5-minute walk to the beach, 10-minute walk to the little town center. Our family of 5 + 2 was able to spread out and relax. Also, great and responsive service from the owner. Kure Beach itself is a hidden treasure, so is this house!

Overall the family had a good time. The younger family members enjoyed the pool and the beach. However, the jets in the Jacuzzi tub in master suite could not be used and the room where two granddaughters stayed had no place to hang clothes. We could not find a frying pan so one was purchased. Only when we were going to use the oven we found frying pans in the oven. When we used the oven set at 350 degrees it burned our Danish kringle from Solvang, CA that was only in for five minutes.

We had never heard of Kure beach before this year. We booked late and there wasn’t anything close to the beach that could hold all of us when we found this location! The house was beautiful and we loved the area! Very short walk to the beach, house was beautiful, and very clean! The only thing we struggled with a bit was the stove/oven. Very few baking dishes/pans that fit in the oven and had to set to 500 to get it to cook something at 350 and not all the burners on the stove worked. We cook a ton, so that was a little struggle. But the house was perfect otherwise! The kids LOVED the pool and backyard area. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation! Thank you!

Our family; 8 Adults and 8 Children (Ages 4 mos. to 8 yrs.) spent a week at this beach home, only one; easy walk; block from the beach. Everything was a great experience that we all surely needed after a very long pandemic lock-up! Erin and Steve (home owners) are wonderfully friendly people and promptly attended to all our needs. We hope to return again not so long from now. We highly recommend this property!

We enjoyed the quite neighborhood the house was in and all the house was nice, I am not use to a gas stove but I was still able to cook. Been cooking for my family for over 50 years so I survived. My husband has health problems so he stayed inside a lot and the TV was a challenge for him. Closet space was small but we made out. All in all we had a nice stay ,

Nice Home, good location off the beach but not far
A very nice home, but lacking some maintenance. The pool heater was out, one shower barely worked, and the rear porch door screens had to be taped to keep the mosquitoes out. Nice cocktail pool surrounded by very nice floral gardens. All in all a good stay, and as a bounus allowed our dog. Well furnished kitchen, and great communication with the owner.

Lovely Home
14 of us from across the East Coast met for a quarantine vacation. The home was spacious enough for us all to be together. Very homey with special touches. The beach was a very short walk, and was clean. The water and waves were perfect!
Thank you to the homeowners for a great vacation!
