About the host
Hosted by Erin Maher
Hi, I’m Erin. I’m a New Orleans native who believes life is best lived near good food, great music, and the water.
My husband Steve and I fell in love with the Carolina Beach and Kure Beach area years ago and slowly began building our little dream on the island. What started as a single cottage project turned into a passion for restoring and caring for these charming beach homes so guests could experience the same relaxed coastal lifestyle that made us fall in love with the area.
Steve is the practical one who keeps everything running smoothly, while I focus on the design and the small details that make each home feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming rather than like a typical rental.
We take a lot of pride in our homes and truly enjoy hosting. Our goal is always to create a place where guests can slow down, relax, and enjoy time together — whether that means morning coffee on the porch, long beach walks, evenings around the fire pit, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze.
We try to make sure everything you need for a great beach stay is ready when you arrive, and we’re always happy to help with local recommendations or anything else that makes your trip more enjoyable.
For us, these homes are more than rentals — they’re places where memories are made. We hope you feel right at home here and love the island as much as we do. 🌊

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about island living. It sits in one of the most special parts of Kure Beach — close enough to walk to the beach, the pier, restaurants, and the boardwalk area, yet just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful and relaxed coastal atmosphere.
This part of the island has a wonderful sense of community and a slower pace that makes it easy to truly unwind. Guests can start the morning with a walk to the beach, enjoy coffee nearby, spend the afternoon fishing or people-watching at the pier, and end the day with dinner at one of the local restaurants.
The location is also incredibly convenient. The beach is just a short walk away, and the nearby pier area often hosts live music, community events, and the weekly farmers market where families gather and enjoy the laid-back island vibe.
Another reason we love this neighborhood is that it still feels like classic Kure Beach — a place where you can feel the salty air, hear the waves nearby, and enjoy the simple pleasures of being by the ocean.
For us, this area offers the perfect balance of walkable fun and peaceful island living, which is exactly what we hoped to share with guests when we chose to build our home here. 🌊
