We enjoyed our stay at Kure Beach! The location was great for the price! It was just a block and a half from the beach. Easy to walk! There was so much in walking distance, coffee, breakfast, a few restaurants, and the pier. Very laid back. The cottage was clean and neat and had a basic kitchen set up. There was only salt and pepper provided for cooking. The basics for pots and pans. Plenty of dishes, glasses, flatware, and cooking utensils. Plan on a grocery run if you want to cook meals while there and don’t forget spices, cooking oil, condidments, etc. The kitchen does not have a dishwasher.The 2 bedrooms are identical and each had a small dresser in the closet. The beds were very firm. If you like extra blankets and pillows plan to bring them with you as there were no extras in the closest. Same for beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, water bottles, ice packs, etc. We had an issue with the air conditioning on our 2nd day. Still unsure what happened other than it quit working. It took 6 hours before we had a response back from the owner. We ended up making a trip out to Walmart to purchase fans once the cottage got up to 84 inside around 10pm. The a/c repairman did come in the next morning around 10am and the unit was up and running again. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay with basic amenities.
