If you want to stay in a family-friendly atmosphere -- and enjoy a breathtaking million-dollar view of the beautiful Atlantic ocean at your doorstep -- then you'll love your stay at Kure Beach at this lovely home! This incredible oceanfront cottage is an affordable getaway in the heart of Kure Beach, on Pleasure Island. It's within close walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the renowned Kure Beach fishing pier!

This home has a spacious deck with a covered porch swing, a grill, a picnic table and resin Adirondack style chairs. Perfect for your picnic or barbecue, listening to the surf and feeling the ocean breeze. Watch the waves rolling in, seagulls flying by, and dolphins frolicking in the ocean -- right in front of you! You'll have your own walkway to the beach, and the convenience of an outside shower. There's plenty of parking too.

This home is ideally suited for a small family (with 2 double size beds and 2 queen size beds). The master bedroom (with queen size bed and cable TV) is on the lower level and faces the ocean. There is also a full bath, a living room/den with a big picture window (also looking out to sea) and large LED flat screen TV, a full-size kitchen with updated appliances and dining bar, and a pantry with front-loading washer and dryer. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms with ocean views and a shared full bath. One of the bedrooms has two double size beds (with cable TV) and the other bedroom has a queen size bed (also with cable TV).

Every room is decorated in a seaside theme in festive colors. It is smoke-free and pet-free. Amenities include WiFi internet, 4 flat-screen cable TVs, DVD, and telephone service. Routine departure sanitation service is included. Bedding/linens/towels are not included but may be rented at very reasonable rates.

While vacationing at our oceanfront home, you'll be surrounded by plenty of attractions. Great surf fishing is available -- on the Kure fishing pier, by charter boat, or off the beach itself in front of the cottage. For sightseeing, Historic Fort Fisher, Carolina Beach State Park, and the NC Aquarium are favorite local attractions on Pleasure Island within minutes of the cottage. A short drive will take you to historic Wilmington and the Battleship North Carolina -- just 15 miles away. And you may wish to take a day trip to beautiful Southport, by the NC Ferry system at nearby Fort Fisher. There is always something to do for everyone in the family!

For those of you who have vacationed at Kure Beach before, you know what a true gem this beach is! This special home is located in a residential section of the island and is ideal for a family vacation or a romantic getaway. With moderate temperatures and so much available to see and do, it's a nice vacation destination for all ages at any time of the year. Please contact us with any questions, and we hope you'll plan your next vacation with us!

Family Vacay!
This was such a wonderful vacation with my little family. The house is exactly as described. It was so conveniently located as well. Being right on the beach was very beneficial, especially with small kiddos. Jennifer was a fabulous host and made sure we knew everything we needed beforehand. We will definitely be back and would book this house again and again.

The Sandcastle is small, but perfect for a family vacation. Everything was as described in the listing. It is in a nice section of Kure Beach -- away from more densely populated areas. A great place to stay.

Kure Beach Vacation
We enjoyed this location and cottage. We were right on the beach and only 4 blocks from the pier. Great seafood at local restaurants. We walked on the beach everyday and found lots of sea shells and sharks teeth. Pretty sunrises and if you drive to the end of the beach great sunsets as well. House was clean and had what we needed for our stay.

Beautiful views and easy beach access!
We loved our week at the Sandcastle. The owner, Jennifer, was very friendly and helpful and the house was the perfect size for our family of 4. The view was beautiful and loved the private beach access! Convenient location with a short walk to the pier and restaurants. Can't wait to come back!

Sweet spot on the beach
Our family of four loved the location and easy access to the beach! We spent countless hours on the porch swing. A note for future guests- the rooms are bright in the AM. If you have little ones bring something to darken the rooms.

Family Vacation
Property was as described, great location with an easy walk to the local restaurants and the beach was a short and easy walk straight from the house over the sand dune. Carolina beach was less than 10 minutes away with many more restaurants to choose from and grocery stores but you get the quiet environment of Kure Beach. The property owner was best I've ever dealt with. Great communication, responsive and had a lot of helpful info. Beach was clean and not overly crowded. Most laid back, relaxing family vacation we've ever had.

Great and not so great assets
There were a few things that we didn't like about this house. The location is great! Right on the beach and coffee a short walk away. I was hoping that there would be some kind of beach view like the "million-dollar view" implies, but you could only see the water at a distance from the porch. Also, a public access is two doors down, making the beach a bit more crowded that we wanted. Both of these things are out of the owner's control, but I wanted to make others aware. The last thing that we really disliked was the louvered doors on all the bedrooms. Naptimes and early bed times for the kids made it near impossible to do anything inside the house with the rest of the family. I understand this is for ventilation, but it didn't work for our family.

Kure Beach II
This was our second trip to Kure Beach. We visited Airlie Gardens, Carolina State Park, Jungle Rapids and took many walks on the beach. The highlight was the turtle nest excavation at the end of the property boardwalk. Sea Turtle Project volunteers released 14 turtles from the nest into the ocean. The property was close to everything and was easily accessible for my elderly mother. Jennifer is an amazing host and communication was easy. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
