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.

The great little economy suite was just what we needed. To us, the LOCATION of the space was what we loved most. The ease of slipping out the door and down the ramp to be met by sand between our toes and the sounds of waves was awesome!

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.

Great location and relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed our stay. There is a view of the ocean sitting out on the porch. It’s the perfect place for a morning coffee :) We had everything we needed during our stay: easy check in (keyless, code lock), convenient parking onsite, clean bathroom, clean shower, clean kitchen stocked with plates, bowls, cups, oven pans, etc, clean beds, and very easy access to the beach (steps away). The only room for improvements would be softer mattresses on the beds and maybe basic spices in the kitchen (salt and pepper, etc).

Absolutely Perfect

You honestly never have to get back in your car once you arrive. You have access to anything you could need stores, restaurants and of course steps from the beach. Owners saved us by booking us last minute due to issues with our travel plans and they are great with commissions. The unit was spotless and so cute and cozy. We loved every moment there and truly hated to leave.

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!

Great location!

Kure Beach is a beautiful and quaint beach town. It's just minutes away from Fort Fisher which is a must to visit. Jack Mackerel, a great place to eat, is right around the corner. We were pleasantly surprised that we could check into our unit early. Check in was friendly and quick. Unit was clean and cozy. Our unit faced the parking lot so it wasn't exactly oceanfront, but access to beach was right there. It was chilly the weekend we stayed so we got a little cold in the evenings because we couldn't get the heating unit to turn on. Other than that, we had a great time. We would definitely love to stay again!

Girls Weekend

Crystal Shores is a lovely cottage on the beach. This is my second stay at the property and I enjoyed my stay again just as much as my first visit. My only disappointment was the I was unable to speak to Gracie at the property management company. I called twice and left a message with no return call. When the property owner’s were running things they were always prompt with replies. I will stay again.

Nice place

We would stay there again. Nice cozy place . Very clean! Great shower! The toaster needs to be replaced, only toasts on one side. Easy fix. The tv needs to be checked. It kept going off & on intermittently for no reason. The heater/cooling unit didn’t respond to remote. It got quite warm at night . Maybe we didn’t know how to use it . Written instructions would be nice. Loved the ceiling fans
