Perfect sized home that's close to the beach..

Wonderful property! House and pictures are exactly as listed. Beds are comfy and shower has amazing water pressure. Bed sheets are soft and an abundance of towels are provided. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to navigate. We enjoyed preparing multiple meals as a family using the stove and the grill. We loved all of the amenities. It is obvious the amount of care and consideration the owner has put into this cottage. The kids and adults all loved the outdoor shower and the kids enjoyed the novelty of using it. There is a large grassy parking area super close with pet waste pickup station. Beach access is just steps away. Coffee shop, pier, dining, and well stocked convenience store are all walkable distance and easy to access. Highly recommend the coffee shop and bagel shop. Owners provide good local information and home information in a printed document on the fridge. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, the NC Aquarium, the 4x4 beach at Fort Fisher, the Fort Fisher Museum, and the Boardwalk at Carolina Beach. All activities were less than 10 minutes away. We will definitely seek out this home again for future trips. Thanks for hosting us!

Kure Beach Stay

Loved the overall stay at the property…..cleanliness,decor,location. BeingOur first time stay at a Vrbo, communication was different and challenging. Usually internet info is put with info that was posted on the refrigerator. I would never have thought it would be part of the decor on the wall. We also found the tv set up challenging. Not as computer savvy as we should be. We would definetly stay again knowing these things.

Great 1st experience vacationing with pets!

This was my family's first trip with pets, and our first experience going through Vrbo. It was a wonderful mini-vacation! My two adult daughters went with us and took their dogs. The cottage was just the right size for 4 adults. The house was fully equipped with all the needed items for an enjoyable stay. Even a few surprises of household items I wasn't expecting! Everything was clearly labeled (light switches, etc.) which made it very easy to adapt to. Location to the beach was one block, so it was extremely convenient! If I had to suggest any improvement it would be to fence in the yard so those guests with pets could let their dogs out more freely. The owner was very reachable and courteous to us. I look forward to booking again in the future!

Excellent Flexibility Cleanlyness

Upon entering the house it was very clean and in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for getting away from the day-to-day. Communication with Mike (manager) was timely and informative. We didn't have any issues so communication was minimal and we were able to focus on enjoying our time at the beach. Although this is not right on the beach it is literally a 2 min walk away and the traffic was very light during our stay in June. The location allows for ultimate flexibility you have the option of walking to the beach in less than 2min, walk to the excellent restaurants of Kure beach in 6min (reservations recommended), take a quick drive to the aquarium, ft. fisher, Carolina beach, Wilmington, South Port, etc.. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to exploring other properties managed by Mike.

Phenomenal last-minute getaway to Mike’s cottage in Kure Beach. He was exceptionally engaged and accommodated the late add of our dog, which made for a sweet end-of-summer event for our family. We had 5 total, with two sleeping on the pull out in the den/entertaining area. Plenty of room, but a bit uncomfortable — recommend bringing a comforter and additional bed topper. The bedrooms were perfect and the kitchen was well appointed — everything we needed! The short walk to the beach, fishing pier, and local restaurants meant we didn’t use our car for the whole weekend! Ideal spot!! Overall, awesome location, exceptional customer service, and sweet cottage for a family getaway.

Clean and well stocked. Very nice and friendly property owner. Great Location. The only downfall was the bed was uncomfortable in the front room and it would be nice to have more seating in the main room for watching tv in the evening. Otherwise, it was great!! Would recommend.

Excellent Cottage

Would highly recommend to anyone. Was skeptical about staying at a place for 5 nights that allowed pets as we have never traveled with our dog. My fear was that places that allowed pets would be substandard. This was not the case. There was no evidence of any previous pets being on site. It was extremely clean. Had a nice yard and was exactly, if not better than described. The attention to details and the small stuff is what made this an exceptional place for us. Well thought out floor plan but kept the original cottage feel. Well stocked amenities, not just the basics as many places have. Good access to the beach. Great communication and response time from the the host. Had no issues but got the feeling if we did, they would be addressed quickly. Definitely will be returning knowing what I know now.
