Owners of the house were fantastic and provided amazing recommendations throughout Kure and Carolina Beach. The house was walking distance to the beach and many close restaurants!
We had the best week with our family do in huge part to the lovely accommodations. Everything ran smoothly, communication with owner was awesome and everyone enjoyed their time. Thank you for a memorable week!
2nd stay at this property and again a wonderful vacation!
Our family enjoyed another vacation the week of Memorial Day at this beautiful property. The house is perfect for multiple families and is within easy walking distance to the beach and several restaurants. The house was very clean, the kitchen well stocked for family meals, includes beach gear, and linens. The host is very responsive. We had a wonderful stay and plan to return.
The property is exactly as described & the host is excellent to work with, everything was super nice very convenient and well cared for. The location was great as well! I’d give it my highest rating.
This home is beautifully decorated, well equipped, especially the kitchen, and perfect for a family. Our host checked in with us to be certain we had everything we needed and to assist us in any way we needed. Couldn’t be happier with our choice of properties and fully intend to return.
This was our family's 3rd year in a row to come for a vacation week and the house is better than ever with some nice upgrades in the kitchen and bath. Plenty of space, awesome views from the deck, easy access to the beach and restaurants, and great communication and service. Highly recommend!
Lovely beach home with spacious rooms! Loved the beach view from the front deck. Great back deck as well to enjoy. Quick access to the beach, restaurants and shopping.
This is our 3rd year renting from Mike. He responds quickly, and is very knowledgeable on the surrounding area.
This was our 2nd consecutive year to stay at this house during the summer and it is perfect for our family. The location to the ocean, basketball, tennis courts, a convenience store, restaurants, and most importantly ice cream can't be beat. The house itself is spacious, beautiful, clean, and well equipped. We are definitely planning to come back next year!
This was our first time at Kure beach and we loved it! The house was wonderful-larger than appeared in photos, very short walk to the beach, beautifully decorated, and so many places to sit and relax with family. Highly recommend taking the Ferry to Southport. We enjoyed lunch, wine tasting, and shopping. The aquarium is a great place to take the kids. Mike was a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to come back next year!

Thanks Sheri
We hope that your family vacations with us again next summer!
Mike was a great host, very helpful and attentive. The house was beautiful and exceptionally clean. It is located so close to the pier which was great in the evenings, but is also very private and the beach access wasn’t too crowded. Overall the perfect set-up. The views of the ocean from the house are lovely, and the top deck had a nice breeze in the evenings. The house has an extra sitting room on the first level that is great for kids and was a great movie room. The outdoor shower made coming home from the beach a breeze. I could go on and on about how great this property is for family vacations. You can tell the owners really love the house and care that you have a great time. We had a perfect week and will be back!!
Beautiful home with gorgeous furnishings and artwork. There was plenty of space, large bedrooms, great outdoor living space, and relatively close to the ocean. We loved having the extra fridge in the garage and the beach chairs. Thank you

Hi Morgan,
I hope you’re doing well. I’am not sure if I ever thanked you for your kind comments in the review that you posted on VRBO. I also wanted to thank your family for taking such good care of our house.
I have several guests that are booking our house for their 3 rd summer season. I wanted to reach out to you with the same offer that I gave them the last two years.
If you think that you might be interested in a return visit next summer 2024; I would be happy to block your week of choice (if available) and hold it until Jan 1, 2024. At that time you can choose to either book the week or I can open it for other potential guests. No strings attached. I would love to have your family visit us again.
Just let me know.
Take care, Mike
We were fortunate to spend our third summer in this beautiful home. We don't feel it's just an income property, we feel like we're extended family being welcomed home. Mike communicates directly and often, answering all questions and providing lots of local information. This home is immaculate and beautifully furnished and equipped. The location is ideal. You couldn't ask for a more perfect vacation home or a more caring host.
This was our second opportunity to stay in this beautiful, well equipped, perfect home. Our host is warm, friendly, and quick to respond to any question. This home is perfectly situated and truly feels like home. Everything we needed was already there. Our family made so many memories! We hope to be able to return again. We truly can’t imagine a more perfect home and host.
This property is a gem! Everything has been recently remodeled…the Amenities were high end and clean...everything you could need for your stay. Location is great as well…easy access from Wilmington airport…the house is only steps from easy access to these beautiful beaches, Restaurants…and short drives to excursions in Carolina Beach….for the kids at Fort Fisher, the Aquarium as well as a local park with a Frisbee Golf Course. The communication with our host Mike was great as well…very clear in instructions/ all questions we had during our stay. A+ all around.
From the time of booking, the property owner Mike was kept us well informed. The house was just what we expected if not more. The linens on the beds room so soft and the beds were very comfortable. The house has so much room and it great for large groups. Kitchen was very well stocked and so roomy that we had no issues with several of us in there at one time. Porches galore!! We always had some where to relax. I don't think there was one complaint from our group. The location is spectacular. Nice view of the ocean from the 3rd floor covered porch. Street is quiet and allowed the kids to safely ride their bikes around. Short walk to the beach made it easy to come and go as needed. Pier is close by and a lot of great places to eat. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone.
We had such a great vacation at Kure Beach. This is the 2nd time renting this home, and we will definitely be back again! Plenty of seating in living room and kitchen. The five bedrooms are comfortable and roomy, 3 1/2 baths, also an outdoor shower. The kitchen was recently updated and has everything you would need to be able to cook and eat in. Two full size fridges and a mini fridge are helpful when you have a large family. Garage has room to store your bikes, chairs & fishing gear. Two porches are spacious and have lots of seating to enjoy the evenings. Short 2 block walk to beach which is never overcrowded when we visit, close to the pier that has an arcade & ice cream shop. Super close to Carolina Beach’s boardwalk & fair. Close to access to drive on the beach as well as the ferry to Southport. But probably the most enjoyed by our family is how close the park is- tennis courts & pickle ball, as well as a nearby disc golf course.
We had a wonderful beach vacation the last week of May!! Our crew consisted of 3 families, including a baby and toddler.
The location of the house was absolutely perfect! A very easy walk to the beach (my 3 yo granddaughter easily walked it), restaurants and pier. We walked to the restaurants several nights for dinner and ice cream. It was so nice not having to drive.
The house is beautifully decorated and clean! We are regular beach house renters and usually I feel like I need to do my own cleaning upon arrival. Not in this case—the kitchen (and appliances), bathrooms, floors, linens, etc. were all very clean. The house is also very roomy—we had 7 adults and 2 children— and we all had plenty of space.
Mike, the owner, gets 10 out of 10 stars! He was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. The listing included a pack n play and my daughter (who has an 8 mo baby) wanted to make sure it would be at the house. I asked Mike a few days before our arrival and he immediately confirmed one would be available, and he also provided a high chair. Having these items available at the house was a big help for my daughter.
The house is well stocked with everything you need. Linens were provided, the kitchen included all necessities, and included lots of beach chairs and umbrellas.
This was our first visit to the Kure Beach area and we really enjoyed it. The beach is beautiful, wide and clean. Very relaxing and enjoyable. We definitely plan to return!
This house was beautiful, and perfect for our family and friends long weekend. The property was clean, well stocked, and well maintained. The owner was very nice, personable and responsive. We would recommend to friend and family, and would definitely stay here again!
We had an incredible week at the beach staying here. Everything was as advertised or even better. This was one of the nicest beach houses we have stayed at in quite a while. Very close walk to the beach, restaurants, ice cream, convenience store, and basketball/tennis courts. We will hopefully be back next year!
Loved the house and Kure Beach! We also enjoyed the pier, oceanfront park, the Joe Eaves park, and the aquarium. And we took the ferry to Southport and went to the Carolina Beach amusement park too. Thanks for being a great host - with your good communication, it made our stay even better. The local restaurants were very good as well.
The Michael Family
This is a fantastic house for a family vacation. We had four adults and six children (age 1-15). It slept all ten of us very comfortably. There are actually two living rooms with TVs which made it so the older kids could go and watch something without their 3 and 5 year-old cousins.
It is close enough to the beach that my one year-old walked each way. It is also very close to the pier, which is particularly delightful early in the morning.
The kitchen is very well-stocked. It had everything we needed to cook whatever we wanted at home. There are games in the house and beach toys in the garage. My small children were particularly delighted with the boxes of children's books upstairs. That made bedtime easier.
This is a beautiful, comfortable, and very convenient house. We would definitely stay here again--it's great.
The house was perfect! Plenty of room to spread out and have private time if wanted. From morning coffee on the front porch to reading on the back porch after dinner.
The beach was a very short walk away and the cart held everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked and preparing meals was easy as can be. I felt right at home. Everyone said that there beds were very comfortable. Plenty of bathroom space made getting ready easy. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. It’s a lovely house and Mike was a pleasure to work with. I only had a few questions prior to arrival and he responded in minutes. Thanks for a great week!!!

About the host

We have been coming to Kure Beach for over 20 years and bought our 1st property (an ocean front condo) in '01). We sold it a few years later and bought a house at Kure in the Fort Fisher area near the battleground. We purchased this house 4 yrs ago and love the convenience to everything Kure hs to offer and the beautiful view. We live on a lake in NC near the VA border and love both vacation locations. We love the Kure Beach area and are now with in a short 5 min walking distance to the downtown area and activities. If this is your 1st visit to Pleasure Island and Kure Beach; you will not be disappoint. Kure is laid back and less busy and our sister town Carolina Beach is only 3 miles away with all the commercial activity that you might like as well as an Amusement Park with lots of rides for the kids during the season.
