Large, beautiful home that has been very well-maintained. Comfortable beds. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with and made everything easy. In our group, we had 10 adults and 3 children, and the property was large enough that we all had plenty of space without crowding etc other. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at Big Bird! The house was great for our large group of 9 adults and 7 children ages 6 months-9 years. Pool, ocean, pool, ocean... it was the perfect set up. Beautiful views, especially from the upstairs deck. Each day beach chairs and umbrellas were set up for us. We were also surprised with the use of 2 surf boards. The pool was clean and well maintained, the size worked out well for our group (3 littles learned to swim : ). Jim was very responsive to any issues we had. We would definitely stay at Big Bird again if/when we return to Kure Beach.

This home far exceeded our expectations. Very clean, high quality home in a beautiful and quiet location. The interior was so clean and well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook multiple meals and there was plenty of seating in the kitchen area and living room. Check in was simple and communication with the owner was timely. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Many thanks for everything!!

Did a Friday to Monday stay. 14 adults. it was a big place and we didn’t feel on top of each other at all. The house is Beautiful! and the owner responded fairly quickly when I asked him questions. Really appreciate his time and kindness. We were able to fit 7 cars in the drive way and one in the garage. we loved it so much we plan on coming back again in the future. thank you so much!!!

We had an enjoyable stay at Big Bird. We stayed with our family members and our two young children. It was very convenient having a bathroom for almost every bedroom. The beach access was great and we also enjoyed the pool. The beds were all very uncomfortable. The kitchen cabinets and drawers were dirty and needs to be organized. Considering the price, we were disappointed that the kitchen was not cleaner, there were no shower products provided and only a very small Dial hand soap at each sink. For the price point, we expected fresh linens in every bathroom, shower products provided, nice hand soaps at every sink, and a clean kitchen that was better stocked/organized. Overall, the home was mostly clean. The home owner was very friendly and helpful and responsive to messages. If the house were just a little more clean and well-stocked, we would definitely come back again. The beach location was great, not very crowded, and we really enjoyed being able to walk straight on to the beach (especially since we have young kids). The owner also provided an included service company that brought chairs and umbrellas and set them up for us every day. That was great and very helpful! If you are looking for a massive house with tons of bathrooms and plenty of space to spread out, this is the one! Be aware parking is very minimal. We were able to park 3 compact/mid size SUVs. The two garages are not usable as one is locked for the owner storage and the other was full of stuff.

Katie. Thank you so much for staying with us and thank you for the detailed review of your 3 day stay. Just a few items for clarification, we do provide all linens as well as towels, hand towels and washcloths for baths, etc. Additionally, the hand soap at each sink is a full size bottle that is completely full….I'm not sure I fully understand the information you provided there. We do keep mine garage locked and the other has the grill, ping pong table and additional beach items as well as an extra fridge. All of this being said, I’m thankful to have been able to accommodate you and I’m glad that you enjoyed the property, the location, the heated pool and the complimentary beach equipment. The information you have provided offers us the information and feedback we need in order to make our home more comfortable for future guests (which is our goal). Thank you so much and I hope to see you again soon. Jim

The Big Bird house is fantastic! It has beautiful views of the ocean from multiple decks, private access to the beach, and a private pool. My family could not find anything we didnt like about the house or location. The host responded quickly to my inquiries, and made the entire process seamless. This experience was absolutely perfect!Cannot wait to do it again next year.
