About this property

Exotic and Cozy Beach Cottage - 3 minute walk to the ocean!

Welcome to *High Seas*! A comfortable and spacious cottage 3 blocks from the beach. Natural light illuminates the front of the home as soon as the sun rises. Grab a cup of coffee and take the 3 minute stroll to the beach to start your day with a beautiful view of the Atlantic. Relax inthe living room and enjoy the smart tv, or take care of business in the office with fast wireless internet. The play room is equipped with toys for little ones and games for the whole family. Enjoy the unique artwork and refreshing colors inside the home. Cook a yummy meal in the fully stocked kitchen. Enjoy a sunny breakfast at the window side booth while listening to the tropical sound of wind blowing through the palm tree. Each bed has an amazingly soft mattress and fluffy pillows, and if you like to sleep in, there are black out curtains in each bedroom. The twin room is great for kids to share, and the complimentary pack n play fits perfectly between the two twin beds. Each bedroom has a spacious closet and a dresser and there are smart TVs in the queen rooms. The separate laundry room has a top loading washer and front loading dryer. Detergent and dryer sheets are provided. The door leading out of the laundry room opens to the side yard where you’ll find the outdoor shower. It’s newly renovated and the perfect spot to rinse off after a day on the sand. The spacious fenced in back yard is where the shed is located where you will find beach chairs and toys. Beach towels are at your disposal and are located in the main bathroom. The white picket fence surrounding the property enhances the homey feel in this quiet family friendly neighborhood. Grab some fresh seafood from Blackburn Brothers, fire up the propane grill and have an evening bbq around the large picnic table on the front deck. Once the sun goes down enjoy gazing at the crystal clear skies where you’ll see many constellations and hopefully a few shooting stars! The experience will be enhanced by the sounds of the ocean that you can hear from the front porch.
3 minute walk to the beach
5 minute drive to Fort Fisher and the aquarium
10 minute walk to Kure Beach pier/downtown where you’ll find bars/restaurants, shopping and an arcade

Family Vacation

Property was very clean and well kept. Access to the beach was just as stated. A very short easy walk. Beach was nice, clean, and not very crowded. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfection

Loved our stay. It was amazing to walk easily to the beach any time, including to watch the sunrise. The house was easy to find, very clean, and comfy beds to boot. Outdoor shower was excellent also and a saving grace for washing off all the sand before trekking inside. Thank you SO MUCH!

Absolutely fantastic stay!

Super quick walk to the beach which is perfect for little kids. Cute and quiet neighborhood for a relaxing stay. A mix of games for the family or for adults, toys for children, and streaming services for a lounging night in. 10/10 would recommend. We plan to stay here for future beach trips!

A great place to stay.

My family really liked the house. It was plenty of room for 5 people. It had everything we needed and was about a 5 minute walk to get to the ocean. The art on the walls is unique and fun to look at. It has games for adults and kids and plenty of tvs. 2 bathrooms and an outdoor shower which I love. Anytime you rent a beach house I always recommend finding one with an outdoor shower. It is practical and relaxing. Great place overall and the host answered any questions we had quickly.

About the host

Hosted by Olivia Novicki

Host profile image
We are Liv, Josh, and Rocco Novicki from Richmond Virginia! Josh and Liv actually met in Wilmington many years ago. We spend as much time as possible in Kure Beach for work and play. We own a restaurant called The Sandspur right by the boardwalk in Carolina Beach (amazing seafood and a great back patio) and are avid beach lovers. We purchased this home last summer and are excited to share it with renters.

Why they chose this property

The close proximity to the beach was an obvious draw but we also love how quiet and friendly this neighborhood is.

What makes this property unique

We have sourced artwork from all over the world to decorate with. We also strive to give you the coziest “home away from home” feel during your stay.
