Great short trip!

This was our first time in Kure Beach. We have family that live in Carolina Beach and we came down for a 50th birthday celebration. Crystal Shores was a great place to stay! It was close to some great restaurants and a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

Tv

Overall a great stay with exception of tv. With a full day of rain midweek, we attempted to watch smart tv but were unable to access anything as tv remotes were Spectrum only.

Cozy with a great view

Excellent view by being upstairs. Very cozy for 2-4 people. Restaurants and the pier 2 blocks away, within walking distance. Beach access is right onsite. Bedrooms and living space perfect size and very comfortable & clean, bathrooms are small. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wish it was longer and will stay there again.

Cozy Cottage

We’ve stayed here several times over the years, and now that our children are grown, they also rent it when they come to the beach. Crystal Shores never disappoints and it’s fun to see the new touches each time we go. Crystal and John do a great job keeping everything updated and feeling fresh and new. As usual, lots of fish were caught and great memories were made!

Our new favorite beach spot!

We picked this property due to the proximity of the beach. I love watching and listening to the ocean while sipping a beverage outside and this was perfect! It is close enough to restaurants, the pier and it’s shop we could walk to them, but far enough that our beach spot wasn’t crowded. I wish there had been some shade for the deck as I have to be careful to too much direct sun exposure. Other than that, it was a wonderful place to stay and we would book again. We loved the local dining options and everyone we encountered in Kure Beach was welcoming.

Great apartment with location on beach

Everything was just as described. The apartment was spotless and comfortable. The only complaint we had wasn’t with the property but with the amount of the fees charged.

Beach getaway

This place was great. The whole family loved staying here. Everything was clean and the unit was well stocked with everything you need, all you need to get is food. Every morning I got to go outside and sit on the porch and watch the sunrise which was beautiful. It's only a very short walk to get to the beach.

Great beach stay

We had a great time at the beach, the place was just steps from Kure Beach. Everything was exactly as pictured - just perfect for our stay. We were also minutes from restaurants. Check in process and responsiveness was great. Would stay here again.

Amazing! Better than expected!

We loved our stay! The condo was quite charming, very clean, and just a few steps from a gorgeous beach. There were several small touches that made the stay even more inviting. We highly recommend to anyone and hope to be back.

Perfect getaway!!

This was a last minute trip for myself and my 2 little ones, and it couldn't have been better! The unit is exactuallybas described...recently updated with everything you need. The location was the real winner here. You are steps away from the ocean and a 5 minute walk to the pier. Checking in and out was super simple and our hosts were always quick to respond to questions. We will absolutely stay here again!!

Active Fun in Kure Beach

This is a lovely property right on the beach. The accommodations are quaint and perfect for four people. We were planning for five originally, but my son stayed back. There is a pull out bed we didn’t end up using, but we could have easily had one or two more people without issue. The place is nicely appointed with appliances and kitchen ware. The view is exactly like the pictures and the small deck was wonderful for coffee and some sun dice we stayed at the end of March and the weather was a bit cool. There are tennis courts a short walk away, the fishing pier is also a short distance away? And the town has some great restaurants. Access was easy and Crystal and the team was responsive and helpful. Overall, we really loved our long weekend in Kure Beach and the accommodations were perfect for us. Great location and gorgeous view.

Kure Beach Sunrises

What a great location, walk to pier and restaurants. Few steps and you are on the beach; or stay on the couch and see the beach and pier from your living room. One of our guests had health issues and didn’t get to join us, only disappointment about the trip. John was super and even came over to help us get the TV working😊
