Great time in spite of the weather
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the pool was a great addition. We were able to get in it every day at some point inspite of the tropical storm. Hosts were incredibly responsive, and we had a great time.

Great Location
Our family spent Christmas at the beach this year and we were thrilled with this property. The only difficulty we really had was the steeper steps up to the first level of bedrooms (second floor). It was a little difficult for our older father to get to bed in the evening. We were aware ahead of time that this could be a problem based on the photos, so this is definitely not a negative reflection on our hosts. On top of the great access and view of the beach, there is even a dog park just a few blocks away! Would definitely recommend this property.

Family getaway
Overall we enjoyed our stay, but parking was challenging. We tried to reach out to the property manager and heard nothing back. The upstairs bed was broken and uncomfortable. There was no way to keep the sun out of the upstairs bedrooms. No blinds or curtains. The downstairs apartment reeked of cigarette smoke. The patio furniture was disassembled and rusty. The adjacent property had much nicer furniture (duplex so same layout). The proximity to the beach was nice.

Everything about my experience with this rental was outstanding. The owner was always available to answer any of my questions. This was our 1st time visiting the Kure Beach area, so I had plenty of questions. The owner was very knowledgeable and always happy to help us in any way. The location of the rental was SUPERB! Check in and check out was super easy. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Great week at the beach
Beautiful house. Very clean and comfortable. Was uncomfortable as to why the sliding glass doors in the master didn’t lock? The step down walking to the beach is a hazard. I actually opened the gate and feel because of the one step down. The dryer lint trap has a broken plastic piece/damage and a few pieces of our clothes were damaged. We had a great week at the beach.

Such a great trip
Great house, loved the spaciousness of the main floor. Was unnecessarily worried about the size of the kitchen, it was perfect. Being right on the beach is such a great spot. And you can walk to ice cream! Will definitely return. We did accidentally leave a beach wagon and beach chair. Hopefully they'll till be there the next time we visit!

Kure Beach
Despite the occasional cloudiness from the front that was hanging over the East Coast, we had an enjoyable week. Fortunately the boys and dads love fishing and the kids each caught a fish (or two) which made that venture a success. They did also get into the water despite the higher surf than normal. There were two issues. My daughter brought her dog and we only found out that dogs were not allowed on the beach between 9 am and 5 pm daily when we got there day 1 and a life guard told my daughter she had to take the dog off the beach. This created a problem as someone needed to be in the house with the dog for a good part of the afternoon. Although posted in Kure Beach regulations, it would have been good to know beforehand because we didn’t anticipate a rule to that effect. The appliances were fine and lots of pots and pans but more microwable bowls would be a good addition. The decks are great and there is plenty of space. The water is a beautiful color and the sand beach has plenty of space. The sun came out a couple of afternoons and that was great.

8 nights - not enough!
What a great Place! It was very clean from top floor to the bottom unit. The open concept on the main floor makes it possible for everyone to share each other's company. I had to remind my brother to "stay out of my kitchen"! The view of the ocean is terrific! We left the door cracked to listen to the waves at night. Beats Alexa! Both decks are comfortable with lots of room. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. The walk to Jack Mackerel's and Freddies is safe and about 2 blocks. The surf fishing is good as well. You don't need to go to the Pier. Overall a great stay and we would stay there again.

Great But Has More Potential
Overall, I'm there for the time at the beach, and this house is at a great location for that. However, I think that if the property manager stayed a couple of days themselves, they could make the stay much more enjoyable for everyone. For instance: There is no dresser in the primary bedroom. That's kind of a big deal for most people. The handle on the bedside table in the master is broken. The upstairs bedrooms have glass doors. Who puts glass doors on the entrance to a bedroom?!? There were no oven mitts or hot pads in the kitchen. There was one towel and one washcloth for the whole week. When there are 10 people eating/cooking, that's not gonna cut it. We also ran out of TP on the third day. There were no pillowcases on most of the pillows. Finally, I (and everyone else) hit their heads on the chandelier over the dining room table COUNTLESS times when standing up from the table. That is a beautiful light fixture but it is way too big for the space. These are all pretty minor inconveniences, but they all add up.

Stunning beach location
We had such a great time! The location on the beach is terrific, the beach is beautiful and it was comfortable for 7 of us, inside and out. We appreciated the beach chairs, the comfortable beds and bedding and the proximity to the fun pier. On our last morning we watched dolphins swim by from the deck. We would definitely return.

A great place to stay
This was our first time visiting Kure Beach and our trip was planned with friends only about a month ahead of time, so pretty impromptu. With that said, we truly lucked out. Being right on the beach with ample space for two families of 4 was perfect. Proximity to the pier, arcade and a few restaurants was awesome. Our only small hiccup was with the wifi. The router was disconnected and we didn’t have a password for about a day. While it was addressed relatively timely, it would’ve been nice to have the network name and pw ahead of time. All things considered, that wasn’t a huge deal and it encouraged our kids to appreciate the beach and outdoors even more. I think we’d definitely visit again.

Not what we were expecting
This is a two-part review. We enjoyed our vacation and made the best of the house. The view and direct access to the beach was great. The location was convenient to restaurants and shops. Unfortunately, the house was not what we were expecting. The house was not clean. We had to clean the inside of the fridge, dishes were not clean, and the main windows to the beach had not been washed. There was a layer of dust in the air returns and on top of the fridge. The basement suite had a musty smell. We found stains on the mattress pad when we removed the sheets at check out. There were other things not mentioned here. There were a lot of things broken or not working. The sliding glass doors to the deck and beach weren't sliding properly. A screen fell off. The deck and walkway to the beach have nails and splinters sticking out everywhere (wear shoes!). The main shower doors would not stay closed, the sink faucets were not secured to the sink. There was a broken lamp. There were so many things that we sent a brief list to the contact and took pictures of everything we found. Its not clear from the pictures or description but the upstairs bedrooms have see thru doors so there is no privacy at all. There are windows in the doors so you can see into the bedrooms as you walk up the stairs. We messaged the contact person for the house several times and they said they would contact the cleaning company and offered to have a handyman come out but we declined. We didn't want them working on the house during our stay. We had to ask for the wifi information and check our requirements.
