Feel like satisfying your pallete? Step into the kitchen, equipped with all new appliances, and prepare your fresh catch from the pier. Pair it with your favorite wine and light some candles for a romantic evening. For a quick and tasty lunch, fry up some bacon for a flavorful BLT and grab a beach umbrella for a picnic on the sand. Friends and family can enjoy the fragrant smells of cooking while they wait in the living room and chat to the chef through the durchreiche.

Take a short walk to the pier and try your hand at fishing or stop at one of the local restaurants for some fresh seafood. Try to spot local wildlife with an island bike tour or walk through the nearby State Park. Discover your adventurous side while kayaking over ocean waves or four-wheeling on the beaches’ North End.

October Slice of Heaven

This precious house had even more amenities than we had anticipated. You can tell that the owner takes a lot of pride in keeping the house immaculate, safe, and cozy. Not only did we experience some wonderful restaurants, thanks to the recommendations of the owner, but we also ventured out to the Fort Fisher Ferry to explore Southport. So many different opportunities within a short drive of the house. We eagerly anticipate returning to this wonderful house on this peaceful beach.

Great property

We enjoyed this cottage so much because of the covered front porch overlooking the ocean. We had a rainy week, but got to enjoy being outside with an ocean view even during the showers. The location is convenient to pier and restaurants. We enjoyed the boardwalk, and the parking area is spacious. Lots of chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were available too. The only inconvenience was having only one shower.

Winter Weekend Getaway

This property is a lovely snug cottage with the perfect porch for ocean gazing. It is right down the street from the pier. I am sure it is much busier in the summer but it was wonderful (even if cold..February duh!) to have the beach almost to ourselves.

Cozy beach cottage

This was a lovely place for our annual family vacation. Loved the front porch and location of the ocean. Debbie was a great and responsive host. I recommend decluttering the place so guests have more space starting with the numerous fake plants and random nic naks. Also sharing the sprinkler schedule with renters would be helpful to know when house accesses may be affected especially when arriving. Definitely would stay again!

Great location

Great location, practically on the beach. Nice boardwalk in front of the house. Dolphins each day in the waves. Visited in January and the beach was empty. Nice for relaxing The house was well equipped and the kitchen had plenty of flatware, plate selection etc to make most any meals work. Bring spices & olive oil if you like to cook!

Hidden Paradise

Our family of 5 stayed here over New Year's weekend and had a wonderful time. The location is absolutely perfect with just a short walk down the boardwalk to Kure Beach Pier and steps to the sand. We stood at the edge of the front yard and was able to watch the spectacular New Year's fireworks show. The house is charming and cozy and had more than enough space for our family. Felt like a home away from home. Communication with the host was great and we had absolutely no issues. We would definitely definitely consider staying again.

Beautiful, Cozy Seaside Cottage

We couldn't have asked for a better house, location, or owner for our fall break with the teenage kids - both asked if we can come back, which tends to be high praise from teenagers. We love the NC coast in the fall and had never stayed in Kure Beach and it did not disappoint. The house is ideally located - near the pier with a great boardwalk to it, but not so close that there are any impacts from traffic. Beach access is incredibly convenient and beach itself has plenty of space. You can get some great waves (for east coast) and regularly see surfers. Other attractions like the NC Aquarium and a ferry to the town of Southport are within 10 minutes. The house has a very well supplied kitchen, comfortable and ample seating, and comfortable beds, and the porch is ideal any time of the day. Everything has been incredibly well thought out and implemented. Definitely recommend staying here, and hopefully we will return, too.

Porch and ocean view are AMAZING!

What a relaxing feel this cottage has, and it has everything you could ever need while away on your vacation. The owner has really made it quite cozy and she even leaves you a little "goodie basket" of treats. The location is walkable to EVERYTHING you would want to do in Kure Beach like great restaurants and the fishing pier (which by the way does not charge you to walk out and watch the fishing as some piers in NC do). So you can always find something to do within walking distance. I must also brag about the cleanliness of the place, it was spotless. We loved it!

Really close to five stars

It would be hard to get closer to the beach, so that's a big plus. The house itself is very comfortable; the owners have done well in maintaining an older place. Pretty much problem free, except for a glitch with one of the televisions - the host did her best to help with that. The house has a great porch on the side facing the beach, plenty of room inside and is well stocked. Just know that towels and linens are extra (at a reasonable cost). The house is quiet for the most part (the neighbors were overly generous with their outdoor speaker system). We would definitely check on the availability of this house if we are in the area again.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Snyder

Host profile image
We are a local family from Wilmington, North Carolina. Our family consists of my Husband, myself, and our loving son who is currently attending UNC-Chapel Hill. Ever since we moved here in the early 1980's it had been a dream to own a beach house to call our own, and to make it our own. As the avid beach-goers that we are, this beautiful residence served the perfect function of being our stepping stone to the warm sands and the cool breezes of our favorite NC beach. With our son moving out and exhausted from 11 years of meticulous care, we figured we could be a little less selfish and share the beautiful house to others when we couldn't be there.

Why they chose this property

Location. Location. Location.
We always knew we had wanted a beach house that was not huge, but not small. After carefully searching throughout the Kure Beach area for several years, we stumbled across this house and made it a family project to completely restore and remodel it from the ground up. Its proximity to the beach, exclusive location, and enormous back yard made the decision easy for us to make. The previous owner mentioned stories of its resilience against Hurricane Hazel in 1954 and claiming it was one of the few survivors, making its persistence even more appealing. At the time of the purchase it was no more than a beat-up cottage that was in dire need of some appreciation from its owner, a task we were willing to take on. 11 years later after refinishing all of the wood, installation of brand new appliances, complete redecoration, addition of a front yard, backyard shed, landscaping, and hours upon hours of manual labor improvements we were happy to call it our own. There is no doubt you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Many of our favorite benefits of the house include:
...10 second walk to the beach
...1 minute walk to the pier/fishing/restaurants/shopping
...front porch relaxation (hammock, rocking chairs, etc.)
...Lifeguard stand right in front of our beach location
...Aesthetic landscaping that complements wonderful view
...interior ergonomics that allow a common living space, but separate rooms that allow different friends to enjoy their own section of the house.
...Enormous back yard for parking, cookouts, throwing the football, or laying out and playing music.
.... Enclosed Outdoor Shower with Hot & Cold water for your convenience when you are coming back from a hot day on the beach.
...The uniqueness of each room's theme.
...And everything else


Please ask about linens and towels being provided for you! We provide them at a very reasonable cost!
