Amazing views
The location of this rental is amazing! Nice, quieter area. This is our first time to NC and it has been a wonderful trip! Lots to do and see around the area. You can ferry to other locations. We did that and it it was so fun! The history and scenery are rich! The home itself is great! It has everything you need. It is clean, lots of sleeping room, comfortable, and more than enough space. I love the fact it is right on the beach! The balcony could use a refresh as could the siding but really...who cares about that when you should be spending your time looking at. Walking on, and enjoying the beach! We checked out the indoor pool area which was also really nice and right down the road. I LOVE how quiet this area is. A short trip, 10 minutes max, to Carolina beach if you want more action. Then you come back to this nice quiet area and relax! We will definitely be back :)

Salt Water Kure
Had such a great time at Salt Water Kure. There is the most awesome view from the balcony and just steps from beach access. The home is very clean and well equipped. Access to the community center is nice. We didn't use it this time but have been there before to play shuffle board - fun time!
