About this property

1 BR Efficiency in Private Historic Motel w pool!

Welcome to the Hidden Treasure Inn! We are located on a quiet street in downtown Kure Beach. As a part of the famed Pleasure Island, you will discover that Kure Beach is a small beach town with a big heart. During your stay at The Hidden Treasure Inn, you're only a short walk to our beautiful beaches and the Historic Kure Beach Pier. "The Pelican" is Room 2 in a unique four unit Inn located on a quiet side street, only 2 blocks from downtown Kure Beach. Enjoy your own private entrance onto our shaded brick patio, where you will enjoy our beautiful gardens, fenced grassy yard with picnic tables and a hammock for relaxing after a day in the sun. You'll also want to spend time by the crystal clear pool while your visiting.

"The Pelican" is a large one room efficiency with a Queen Bed and a Twin in the Living area. The kitchenette is small but efficient, and will serve your family well while your at the beach although it is worth noting that there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer. Note too that this unit has a cooktop only and no oven.

Everyone will love people watching from the porch, playing games on the manicured lawn, or preparing your catch of the day on the gas grill. You may never want to leave Hidden Treasure Inn; but if you do you'll find plenty to do with shops and restaurants nearby, along with the fishing pier, the NC Aquarium and historic Fort Fisher. The beach is a short stroll across the street to the public beach access.

Make plans today to spend a few nights enjoying this unique throwback to a simpler time in a quiet neighborhood of beautiful Kure Beach.

The location was great. Got a call on our arrival day that the pool was closed. Booking a location with a pool was important to us so that was upsetting. Parking was easy, walking to beach and dinner was easy, room was small but great for what we needed!

Excellent location

Great location, very short walk to the beach. Grounds are very well kept. There was a delay in the availability of the pool, but we were able to use it the second half of our stay. There were a couple of small issues upon check-in which were promptly addressed. Would definitely stay again!

Truly a hidden treasure

Great location made for easy walk to the beach, the pier, a park and restaurants. Situated on a quiet side street but easy to find. Check in and out were simple. Nothing fancy on the inside. Beautiful grounds. Only 4 units so the pool was never crowded. Lots of outdoor seating and a hammock. I’m planning to stay here again.

I loved the location. The check in process was unique. Felt like 4pm was later than most places. 3pm would be a better option if that could be arranged.

The room was nice but very cozy. The location was great. It was very easy walking distance to the pier to watch the sunrise. But be prepared to have to walk through the sprinklers if you are getting out in the early morning. The sprinklers are set to run from about 6:30- 7:30a.m.There is a toaster/air fryer combo, coffee pot, microwave, & stove top but be prepared to get creative on how to areange them when you need to use them due to having very short cords and not many outlets. The only real complaint about the room was the size of the shower. It was a TINY walk-in and was difficult to comfortably move around to get all the "important places" clean. However, the showehead can be used as a handheld which was nice. And the water pressure was good.

Horrible company

They said room was a mess I cleaned it before I left. They charged me for last st keys that they told me there self they found. On the counter where I was told to leave them. I requested photos of the room messy but they had none ...Scammers!

Hi James. Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately what you are describing is a little different from what our team experienced. Our team was unable to locate any keys for the unit, and in turn had to have the locks replaced. In addition, our housekeeping team found the unit in complete disarray, with evidence of smoking both inside and outside of the unit and the smoke detector had been removed from the wall. We had to do a three-over clean after departure which resulted in loss of availability for two days following checkout.

Quaint little piece of heaven

Loved our room with the little kitchen area, and loved the pool and quietness of the neighborhood and the close proximity to everything. The only thing that I'm upset with (more mad at myself) is I left my small quilt & pillow for last and my sister came out and had the place locked up, so I didn't go back in to make my last round and left my quilt behind ;( it was given to me from a special friend and she actually signed & dated it. So I'm not sure why the cleaners wouldn't have turned it in. I was in the area the entire following week after check out and I called 3 different times. I know you are not responsible for things left behind, but I also work for a property management company and go above & beyond to help our tenants & residents. I do look forward to going back again. Thank you
