4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Let me just start off by saying all of my issues were resolved,The listing doesn’t say anything about “sharing” amenities. Most if not all amenities are the whole reason why you would want the property in the first place. Such as the pool, bbq, outdoor area and beach access. It wasn’t until after we checked in we received an email stating that because it’s listed as a duplex it’s implied that everything is shared but the listing has it as private but I guess private with everything in the adjoining house. The second day we realized the garbage outside is over flowing and wouldn’t be picked up for another 3 days on Monday. The third day (Sunday) we woke to a carbon monoxide alarm going off with a date of 2015 stamped on it, coincidentally ANOTHER fire/smoke alarm starts going off. The maintenance guy came stating he changed the others but since “this wasn’t his property he only changed that one”Again Sunday we realized the propane tank was nearly empty which could be avoided if the house is checked (like batteries)Again Sunday the back door wouldn’t lock unless jiggled and persuaded. Maintenance said it was a “vendors issue” Finally brings us to Tuesday, the toilet seat kept snapping off, I notified maintenance but at this point I was fed up and decided to fix it myself every time it broke rather than ringing maintenance every time someone used it. And the dryer that is on premises keeps giving an error code with the vent door open. Overall wouldn’t come back.

Kure Beach

We stayed here for a week with friends and family. Overall we had a great time as the townhouse has plenty of space for multiple families. The location and beach access are great as well as the pool. The townhouse was not as clean as some other places we have stayed but the cleaning crew was still there when we arrived so they may have been rushed to allow us to get in on time.

Perfect Location; perfect for big family

The size of the house, amenities, pool, proximity to the beach, everything was amazing. It was a well-equipped kitchen. We had grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-aunts, kids- worked well for everyone! Pleasantly surprised that there were 2 bikes to use! The property manager/owner was fabulous and super quick to respond. We would return!

nice unit right on the beach

Would have been better if the elevator worked. My wife who is 74 with Parkinson's disease and cancer and confined to a wheel chair was limited to one floor of the house. Other than that it was a nice house with a view of the beach my family enjoyed.

Great location

Property was as expected/accurate web site description. Only knock was the cleanliness…not horrible by any means but dirty towels left in the elevator and cabinets had a few dirty dishes. Kitchen was well supplied. Easy beach access and pool was a bonus. Plenty of beach chairs. Lacked beach and kitchen towels, and very limited hangars in the closets - recommend stocking or advising renters to bring their own. Had an issue with the back deck door handle coming loose - maintenance was quick to respond. Overall great rental.

Great house for a family with adult children!

The house is beautiful. Expansive decks that were great when local family visited - easy to maintain social distancing in this crazy time . Lots of deck tables and Chairs ,beautiful views of ocean . There are plenty of comfortable beds. Great kitchen. Easy access to the beach which we enjoyed every day. Rented surfboards from a local place for $10/day. Brought fishing pole to fish right there at the beach. Also got the $10 fishing license. I would Most definitely recommend this property. and if you have multiple families there are several duplexes with a connecting deck.

Great location and house was nice...

We had a great time although there are a few points to make note of for future guests. Toilets and showers were not clean. The thermostats were NOT adjustable and it was HOT! Also, the back door to the lower deck was incredibly hard to close and open. House wasn’t equipped with towels or beach chairs. The house adjacent with shared pool was our party as well and it was a lot nicer, cooler and had plenty of beach chairs and towels. Overall would probably pick the property next door to this one.

Absolutely stunning views from this beautiful, well stocked home. We were able to catch sunrise right from the deck. It’s also wonderful listening to the ocean all day. There were games for our family to play, and the house was supplied with everything we needed. All of the special touches that make this rental house feel like your own cozy home is why we are already looking forward to another visit! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Great location, needs some upkeep

Fantastic location. Beach is beautiful, close to Carolina beach (more stuff to do), pool is perfect (just have to share with other duplex). Size is great - we had 2 full families + our nanny (5 adults, 5 kids ages 7 mo to 6 yrs) with plenty of room. Beds were very comfortable. Downsize is the cleanliness and random broken pieces of furniture. It felt like the reported cleaning service didn’t come between tenants. The floor was covered in sand, kitchen was filthy, bathrooms disgusting, coffee pot was dirty and with grounds, and all the dishes dirty but in the cabinets. Multiple chairs broken, broken ladder on one of the bunks (so unsafe!), and cabinet in kitchen hanging by the hinges. We had a great time but upkeep needs to be improved.

Beautiful beachfront property

Everything was perfect. The location right on the beach, the pool for the kids, the beach chairs and boogie boards, and the house itself was well furnished with great beachy decorations. The kitchen had everything and more than we needed. We also enjoyed the Fort Fisher Aquarium, the Tiki Bar, Carolina Beach, downtown Wilmington and watching Wednesday night fireworks from the beach in front of the house. A great vacation.
