Super cute condo with all the comforts of home. It is just steps from the ocean. It was a perfect spot for a quick weekend getaway or a long vacation! I would recommend this listing to anyone.

Our cottage was great! The room was very nice and with lots of room and the kitchen had everything we needed, we even took things with us that we thought we would need, and they were already there. We would sit on our porch and drink coffee with a ocean view, our host give us all the info that we needed and was a big help cause this was our first visit here. We even got invited to sit on the sundeck that comes with unit #1, you can see forever from there! We enjoyed our stay and hope to get to go back next year! Highly recommended!

Perfect, cozy, direct access to the beach, kitchen and bathroom amenities plentiful, clean. My wife and two daughters were comfortable. Bring your own beach towels, tent, and perhaps extra pillows. Four beach chairs are onsite. Several restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance. Outstanding, we will be returning!

Beautiful little bungalo

My sister and I booked this beautiful little bungalo for a weekend trip. We loved it! It was exactly as listed; clean, comfortable, fresh snd with everything we needed for the weekend. The owners were great answering questions that I had prior to our visit and upon arrival. There are rocking chairs and beach chairs available for use too! We walked to breakfast and dinner at the pier as well as a local market during our stay.

Weekend escape

It was all about the location. Steps away from the sand and surf. Easy to walk to restaurants and store. The place was spotless and we had everything we needed including a blender for frozen drinks. We will be back.

Nice Getaway

Nice little getaway in Kure Beach, NC. Clean and convenient right on the beach. The lower units do not have an ocean view, but the access is easy and you are also within walking distance to the pier and restaurants. I only live 15 minutes from there and we use it for a weekend getaway with out the long drive.

Outstanding

It was an outstanding three nights stay. Proximity to beach was great. Only issue we had was the outside light in the adjacent room was left on after the previous people left and it shined in on our son's bed. But that is a very minor issue and definitely would not keep us from booking in again. Thank you for allowing to stay in such a nice house.

Overall great weekend spot

As other reviewers have stated, the mattresses are incredibly uncomfortable. They have a very thin foam mattress pad that does absolutely nothing. My friend and I both woke up with back pain. That being said, the location is fantastic! Right on the beach, and right down the street from the boardwalk where we could walk to eat and explore. Great place to stay for a weekend!

Good and Bad

When my wife and I arrived and picked up the door code, it was incorrect. It was not difficult to get a new code, just a little frustrating. We went out to dinner and returned to someone from another room in our parking spot. Not familiar with the area and how particular the police monitor the beach access parking, so I was uncomfortable paying for parking while the situation was being taken care of. By the time we were about to pay for overnight parking, the person using the spot left. Crisis averted. Not the place's fault, but frustrating. The room had a very strong smell of cleaner, which eventually dissipated by the second day, or we just got used to it. The shower curtain showed signs of being dirty and it was hung too high without a liner. Our first shower soaked the floor. I moved the curtain down to avoid that issue again. I do like the way they fixed up the place, but it is starting to show some wear and tear. For instance, the sliding bathroom door had some marks on the outside of it. No, danger to me or anyone else, but I did get worried for being blamed for the marks. While the stay wasn't perfect, some of the issues could not be blamed on the place or the management. That's why my review is "good and bad."

Nice place view posted in pic , leads you to believe it has a corner porch view of ocean. However that is actually the end unit of several. We were middle facing parking lot . Pic makes you think you’re actually facing ocean. Would stay again! Very helpful owners

Room was as advertised. AC unit worked great and kept things very cool. Location is directly beside public beach access parking lot. So while looking from the front porch you are looking at the parking lot. However, this did not cause any issues and access to the beach was quick and easy. We stayed here for a long weekend and it was perfect.
