OVERALL DESCRIPTION...
If you like quiet, unspoiled beaches, and all the amenities at a great value, this is the place for you! At 1165 square feet, our two bedroom, two and one-half bath, oceanfront townhouse feels like a house at a condominium price! This two-story unit sleeps six and has private decks off of the master bedroom and living room. Watch the sunrise from bed, or sit on the porch swing and see the surf roll in...
COMPLEX AMENITIES...
The Ocean Dunes complex has all the amenities including indoor/outdoor pools, hot tub, sauna, fitness center, tennis courts, basketball, playground, shuffleboard, and boat and trailer parking. (And our unit is located right across the street from the recreation center.)
TOWNHOUSE AMENITIES...
The townhouse itself is well-maintained with new upgrades every year. This year we added a 42" Flatscreen and free WIFI! We have tasteful nautical decor throughout, and everything you need to feel at home. This past year, we completely remodeled the kitchen with new appliances, countertop, and cabinets. There is a washer/dryer to get those beach towels dry, and a locker in the covered carport with sand toys and beach chairs. We are also fully equipped with electronics like a TV/VCR/DVD in living room and TV/VCR in the master bedroom, CD player, radio, and XBox. We even have board games, books, and a video/DVD collection for those (rare) rainy days!
AREA ACTIVITIES...
As far as activities go, there is so much to do it is hard to list it all. You are within two miles of the Fort Fisher Historic Site, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry and the Kure Beach fishing pier. A few minutes further away, you have golf, charter boat fishing, tons of shopping, and wonderful dining. The kids may like the Tregembo Animal Park, Jungle Rapids Water Park, or a visit to the Battleship North Carolina. Or, you can always just sit on the deck, watch the water, and order pizza. The choice is yours!
The mild temperatures in the off season, indoor pool, and wealth of area attractions make our townhouse a great vacation spot year round. Come and stay at our place!!!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...
There are some questions that folks often have about renting directly from a homeowner, rather than a rental agency. First time renters may be a little uncomfortable and wonder how they know we are 'legitimate'. If this is the case for you, just ask, and we will gladly provide references. We have families that are on their fourth year renting with us, and will be happy to answer your questions. Also, you may wonder what happens if something breaks during your visit since we live out of town. No problem. We have a cleaning and maintenance company right there on the island that takes care of any maintenance issues. We (the owners) are your primary point of contact, but there is a 24 hour emergency number that you can use as well. Another question is around key pickup. We have a keypad lock. You are e-mailed your code for the week, and there are no keys to pick up (or to lose!). Our guests love this feature! If there are any other questions you have, just e-mail and ask!

The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
We love hunting for fossilized Sharks Teeth at the Beach! We have found hundreds over the years, ranging from 1/4 inch to our biggest at around 2 inches... We ask guests to trace their biggest find in the guest book, and I have put some info on shark's teeth in the condo so you can tell which kind you find.
Photography is also a hobby, and I have taken some wonderful photos of the beach and the area. Some of my favorites are on the walls in the condo.
Aside from the beach, we enjoy excursions to Southport on the ferry. Make sure and take some bread to feed the seagulls on the ride. They will take it from your hand if you hold still long enough!
Owner's Map of Kure Beach
My husband and I lived in Wilmington for 11 years before career shifted us away from the beach. We have two children in school, and know what kind of things to keep on hand to entertain them on rainy days. Prior to our move, we purchased the townhouse as a getaway and an investment, and have managed the rentals ourselves from the start. We go down several times a year, and make sure that everything is in good shape. Having lived in the area for so long, we are knowledgeable about the area attractions. If you need suggestions on activities or restaurants, we are happy to spend the time talking to you to help you plan your trip.

My husband and I and another couple just got back from staying in this townhome(May 2-5). We loved it. This was a lovely place very clean, and had everything you need. The location was fantastic. Great restaurants nearby. The beach had great access from the townhome. We love the quietness of this area. We have never stayed in Kure beach. We will definately be going back and hopefully be able to stay at this townhome. Thanks so much for allowing us to rent this great place Janet.
Owner response:My husband and I are always glad to hear that folks like to stay at our place. We work hard to make sure that things look good and are well maintained, while keeping our rates below the "big agency" prices in the same building. Thanks for the review! Janet

This was our first visit to Kure Beach and we had a great time! The townhome was very nice, decorated beautifuly, and the view is AMAZING!! There is nothing like going to sleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to a beautiful sunrise (We even go to watch a school of dolphins go by). We enjoyed our trip to the NC Aquarium and ferry ride to Southport (Which is right down the road) on the way to visit Myrtle Beach for the day. The locals were all very nice and we can't wait to return. The Evans Family State Road, NC 28676
Owner response:Thanks for taking the time to write a review! So glad you had a great stay. My kids love taking the ferry to Southport and feeding the seagulls off the back of the ferry... Janet

We had a great stay at the condo, it is very clean and decorated well. Watching the sun come up while sitting on the deck was worth the stay. We truly felt at home here. The private beach was much more comfortable than the large complex condos we have stayed at on other beaches. We look forward to coming back soon!

Very clean and the location is great! Well stocked kitchen and lots of space. I wouldn't plan on sleeping two people on the pull out couch but there is PLENTY of space to put an air mattress down or a sleeping bag (if needed). The rest of the beds were very comfortable! We loved the set up of the house! Kids(teenagers) loved the wifi and xbox. Beach is clean and quiet and the views from the decks are beautiful! We swam in the ocean, chased ghost crabs with flash lights, hunted for shark teeth and walked the beach! The kids had a great time with skim boards and boogie boards! We chose this rental because we were looking to avoid the loud, busy, party beaches-it was exactly what we were looking for! The owners were wonderful to work with and provided excellent communication! We would love to rent this place again!

We took advantage of 2 open nights in May and had a wonderful time. The accomodations were great, clean and well taken care of. There was a wonderful view out of both the upstairs and downstairs decks. We very much enjoyed our short time there and hope to do it again!

We love your condo. We have been two years and plan to do it each year. Hopefully when we retire we want to rent a month in the winters. It is truly like home and we love the swing. Parking underneath is great--the cars don't get so hot. The keypad entry is great so we don't have to keep up with keys. Very nice and family oriented area. Our favorite place for vacation.
