Charming 2nd row beach condo offers so much!

Really enjoyed our stay. Nice cozy condo located in the perfect spot for us. We found everything clean and as described. The owners communicated with us whenever we had questions. Will definitely be back in the future.

We ended up being unable to stay due to the hurricane. The owners have been wonderful to work with in an effort to get our “paperwork” wrapped up. We will definitely book this same property in the future because these folks have been so kind.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was after season so it was very quiet. We had the pool to ourselves and few people on the beach. We would visit again in a heartbeat.

Not a traveler-friendly condo. We arrived for our first night and were ready to go to bed. The beds were filthy - the quilts on all three beds and the pillows had brown stains and hair on them. I have photographs to show how bad it was.

The master bed was so dirty we didn't feel comfortable putting our sheets on it to sleep. The bath mats in the bathrooms were even worse - so visibly dirty we didn't want to step out onto them with wet feet.

Many of the features of this condo are overstated, inaccurate, or poorly communicated. Owners sent us a 4-page PDF the week before the trip with a tiny line in it that said there are no bath towels or bed sheets at the condo. We missed that information, which isn't in the listing, so we had to buy towels and sheets.

The same document said there were towels in the kitchen. There weren't. And no paper towels. No toilet paper in the bathrooms. And no fast access to a convenience store to get them. One parking pass, not two, as the document stated. We had two cars, so we worried one car might get towed.

On the first night, as we figured out how to get the beds in condition for us to sleep, we tried to appease our two young daughters by firing up the Wii system touted in the listing. Batteries dead on the controllers. There were 12 batteries in the drawer - we tried them all, and they were all dead. The next day, we bought new batteries for the controllers and left them in the unit so the next traveler wouldn't be disappointed, too.

Just before check-out time, as we were loading up our car, housekeeping showed up, speaking with us and delaying our departure. I told the housekeeping about the dirty beds and floor mats. The owners reduced our deposit refund by $45 for "late check-out." Would've helped us if housekeeping didn't show up right as we were trying to load up.

This place was death by a thousand cuts. Every time we turned around, there was something else that was wrong that we had to figure out or fix. We loved Kure Beach, and the people we met were super-nice. This condo was the worst part about our trip. Never again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo is really great...the kitchen is a great size, the furniture and beds were good quality and very comfortable (not always the case at a beach condo!), there were tons of good books and DVDs, and it the free wifi was appreciated. We spent tons of time at the pool, which is really big and very well kept.

It was an easy bike to the aquarium, but I was disappointed that the bike lane on the main road headed toward Carolina Beach only lasted for about a mile; I would have felt comfortable biking the road beyond that but not with my daughter in tow. We were expecting to be able to do more biking, like to the pier, but it didn't feel safe.

In some beach towns, having to cross the road to get to the beach is actually a pretty far walk and precarious, but here the road is not heavily traveled and the walk was so close we didn't even need to wear shoes. Perfect!

The large balcony was really nice, but it sits right over the air conditioning units for the building, so it's not terribly peaceful to sit out there. It's also not rain-proof, we learned that the hard way when we thought it would be fun to sit on the deck and listen to the rain!

You can definitely hear your neighbors here, we had some people upstairs that liked to run around and had a barking dog that sounded like it was in our bedroom. There was also construction during the day in the unit next door, so we had a good bit of hammering and sawing to listen to, but it wasn't too big a deal.

The only other negative is the parking space...it is very, very, narrow. I have a Camry and it was within a few inches of the posts on either side. I can't imagine that two cars could ever fit under there. That being said, it was really nice to have an assigned parking space that was so close to the unit.

Overall, I would absolutely recommend this condo and we would definitely rent again! Thank you for the nice stay!
