Decent place

The location was excellent, the house was ok. We wish there was a more convenient way to bring everything up to the main floor. No vacuum, just a broom that wasn’t sufficient. Needs to have some updates, such as refrigerator umbrella stands by the pool. We definitely enjoyed the the convinces of this house.

Perfect weekend getaway

We loved our stay here. Appreciated the privacy (it’s not a duplex). There are minor issues like some spent lightbulbs on bedside lamps and a clogged toilet upstairs. We just didn’t use it and dis not want to get maintenance to come in late at night to address it. There were three other toilets anyway. Landlord is very friendly and responsive. Left our karaoke and all I had to do was call and they got it back to us no problem. Thank you for everything

There are a few good things I would say. - Views are very nice, it was awesome to sit on the porch. - The space was nice in the house as well. The bad comes with a lot more. -I have never ever gone to a place that did not have a single roll of toilet paper. If there was just even one that would have been nice. -No trash bags? -No paper towels? I understand that you would not supply all for the entire trip but to not have any as you walk in was astonishing. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL OF THE BACK YARD. There should be a sign about walking on the grass in the back because of the thorns. Two of us were picking thorns out of our foot for an entire night. I can only imagine if you had kids. It would ruin your trip. The shower leaked into the Kitchen which we had to have a plumber come in during our stay to have it fixed. For the amount of people that can stay two showers was not enough. When we showed up one of the beds was broken which was a pain for the one couple to be sleeping at an angle. I am never harsh on my stays, I have only had good experiences personally, but this was not one of them. It is a nice house with a great view and location. Just was not a great experience for us.

Thank you Dylan for your feedback. We will be sure to address the issues with maintenance. The bed that we informed you about prior to your arrival has been replaced. We provide all of our properties with an amenity bag with 2 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels and dish soap that should have been on the counter when you arrived.

Kure Dreamin'

Our family had a marvelous time here. Having the pool was a real bonus-especially for the little ones. There were pool toys (and we added a few) and lots of chairs. We rented umbrellas from a local agency who came each morning and secured them. The little grill was old and had seen a lot of use. It would be great if they added a gas grill! The bike tires needed air and we did not see a pump. An AC person came to check on the AC when we called. It was a bit hard to cool the house during middle of the day but the rental co was very responsive.

House needs some love

The location is great. On paper this should be an amazing property. Unfortunately, the bunkbed was a complete hazard and had to have the property management company Come fix it. The pool was very dirty and had to have the property management company have a special cleaning done out of cycle. The pillows don’t seem like they’ve been changed in 20 years. The bedframe in the bunk room was broken, and I had to put books underneath one of the legs to balance the bed. This was never fixed. The Cabinets are from 1970 and have a rather disgusting stickiness all over them. Plenty of cockroaches and ants throughout the home. I know this is pretty typical at the beach, but you should at least have a company take care of this regularly. The Wi-Fi is pretty bad and doesn’t work and some of the bedrooms. Makes this difficult to work from the beach. The showers are really old and rusted out. Definitely mold in some areas. The entire house needs to be equipped with new furniture, a complete cleansing, new paint, and new showers. It seems the honor is definitely not looking to put any money into this. The deck itself would move if you were to sway aggressively on it. The outdoor shower on the ground floor below the deck was absolutely disgusting and smelled like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. Likely a back up from the drain pipe.

Beautiful property

The property itself was outstanding. The only unfortunate was the Corps of Engineers was doing beach reclamation. Our "beach vacation" had no beach access. The rental company was responsive, we received an extra night free, but that was not really sufficient. We were told they spoke with the project manager, who "built" sand bridges so we could access the beach. However, EVERY TIME anyone walked toward that access, the workers blew an airhorn at us, drove up on 4 wheelers and told us to get off. Very disappointing. We felt we should have been notified and given the opportunity to cancel/change our reservation.

Hi Tina, Thank you for acknowledging that Kure Dreamin' is an outstanding property! As discussed in our personal visit on Saturday morning, your family member had a good understanding of the dredging project since he lives here in town. Neither the property owner nor property management company can control a large civic project like Beach Renourishment, nor predict the daily changes that take place in a project of this scope. We did however, respond with a generous resolution that was exactly what your family member requested.

Terrible beach front experience!

After Paying extra to be ocean front with 2 small children, we arrived to an ocean front disaster. We could not step one toe in the sand in front of our house or any nearby public access. There was huge heavy loud machinery working 24 hours a day dredging the beach. This would have been understandable if we had been warned so that we could have reconsidered the house or location. No one…. Vrbo, owner, sea coast rentals ever communicated that this was very possibly what we would encounter. I have messaged and spoken to sea coast rentals regarding a compensation for what we paid for ocean front but no response other than they reached out to owner…. No response there! Don’t go to Kure Beach or rental Kure Dreaming!

Hi Jack, we are disappointed to see your one-star review, particularly after we reached a guest resolution with you that you indicated was acceptable on this gorgeous ocean front house. Neither the property owner nor property management company can control a large civic project like Beach Renourishment, not predict the daily changes that take place in a project of this scope. We did however, respond with a generous resolution that your review does nothing to recognize.

The property was right on the beach with great access and nice pool.

We visited April 2021 and the house had all of the basics needed for a fun beach vacation. The house is dated but upgrades seemed in progress. New thermostat was not programmed correctly and we froze the first night but rental company was very prompt and took care of things quickly. I would say this house only sleeps 10 adults comfortably. There are many roll away cots and bunks available. Owner must have a dog because visible pet hair when lifted couch cushions etc. Not for families with pet allergies.

Nice time on the beach

The place was dated but clean and fantastic location. Was wonderful to have the pool for when the waves on the beach were too much. Was disappointed the swing in the pictures was broken but there was a ton of deck space for watching sunrises and the ocean at night. Overall would recommend staying here if looking for a getaway with family or friends.
