  Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! It is bright and cheerful. The living room furniture is my favorite place as all the color is so conducive for one's peace of mind. We had countless hours of joy on the sunny and sugar sand beach.

  Thank you for sharing a beautiful piece of heaven. We had so much fun. It's hard to put into words the happiness & joy I had there. I had no idea that North Carolina beaches were so nice. I wanted to bring home every sea shell I saw. The fresh sea food stores were smelly, but great. Your house is in a perfect location.

  Beautiful beach house! Exactly like you expect a beach house to be! Plenty of room 3 comfortable beds plus fold out couch and futon. Plenty of comfortable living space. Fully equipped kitchen, even a blender for those "boat"drinks! The wrap around porch offers plenty of great morning and evening conversations while listening to the surf. With just a short walk across the road to that beautiful beach it gives you a glimpse of what paradise is! Enjoy long walks on the beach and if you venture into town check out the fishing pier. I will definately come back to this little bit of paradise!

  What a beautiful home! The home was very clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the colors and bedding was beautiful! It was great to have such a nice kitchen and so well stocked with dishes and pots and pans that were needed. We enjoyed fresh seafood each night for dinner. The little blue two story house in Wilmington has delicious seafood to buy. I had never eaten mussels before-they are great! The access to the beach was just minutes from the house and so clean, We also rented bicycles and rode to Fort Fisher. The traffic is considerate of bikers, which is very comforting. This was a girls extended weekend with six women sharing the space and we were never crowded or needed more space. The deck is very nice and we enjoyed much time relaxing out there. I would love to bring my sons and their families to Kure Beach and love to stay at the house again! Fabulous place!!

  My children (ages 9 and 11) and I stayed in your home this summer and had an absolutely fantastic vacation! The house was exactly as mentioned, super clean and in excellent location to the beach. We really enjoyed having a separate TV for the kids (in the back porch area) so they were able to watch Disney, etc at evening...great set-up! We would love to rent the house again for next summer! Thank you!

  We stayed at the house for one week around mid-August 2012. It is conveniently located across a public beach access. The beach is gorgeous and clean! The house has 3 bedrooms, plus a futon bed in a separate room. The photos give good justice to how the house looks in reality. The property was very clean and they have vacuum, dishwasher and laundry washer/dryer. We were a couple with a 9-month old baby who just smiled when he entered the house the first time. The house is pretty safe for a baby that age (sure, you need to glance at the baby sometime, especially because of the outlets...). The kitchen is fully equipped for people like us who spend more time cooking than laying on the coach! TV and WiFi is complementary. The rental companies we used (for the house and for the baby's crib) were very responsive. We really long to come back!

  My sister and I actually were able to get away for some sister time. We had a ball shopping, dining, walking on the beach, walking on the beach, walking on the beach! Can you tell we loved being on the beach! Found lots of great sea shells. It was off-season and needed a light jacket but weather was beautiful. The house is so nice! Everything was very clean and nicely decorated. Beach access just across the street.

  Wow! What a nice place to stay. It was just like being at home. We had a 10yr old and a 17yr old with us and they had a blast. They each got their own rooms. I must mention that I have never stayed anywhere that I have had such a comfortable bed. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. Just a hop, skip and jump away from the ocean. Property was very clean and well-maintained. We didn't have any problems. Everyone down their was extremely friendly. Lots of stuff to do. Really enjoyed the farmers market at Carolina Beach. One day we even had fresh seafood. We did alot of shopping. There are many stores to choose from as you go further into town. Grocery store was only less than 10 minutes away and very reasonable. We did the aquarium, the pier, went to South Port, went to the doughnut place and many other places. No complaints at all. Enjoyed the beach everyday, sometimes twice a day. House is near the end of the coast so there wasn't alot of traffic which is good. The neighbors were all very nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this place to any family, girls retreat, guy retreat, or just a couples retreat. Thank you soo much for letting us stay in your home. It was a vacation we will remember forever. By the way is was the first time we had ever been to North Carolina.

  The house is full of windows creating an open and airy feel. It's wonderfully relaxing and close to the beach and a running trail. It is also close to several local restaurants and shops perfect for a day of exploring. Overall my experience was excellent and would repeat it many times over!
