The facility was clean. I was disappointed with the fact it said beachfront but it wasn’t. The owner had hidden costs that I didn’t care for. The owner was available when I emailed him.
Virginia,
So happy to hear you enjoyed the house. We try to keep it stocked for our guests to relax and enjoy their stay.
Yes, the elevator is wonderful for getting all those groceries up to the top floor and luggage to the 2nd floor bedrooms.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again.

Great location within short walking distance of all Kure Beach has to offer. The owners have gone above and beyond - kitchen was fantastic and lots of beach chairs and toys. The pool and game room added to the fun. Really enjoyed the views from the top deck

Beautiful house in a fabulous location!
We rented this property for a girls weekend and were unanimously pleased with everything this house offered. It's beautifully decorated and well-situated in the heart of Kure Beach. The layout is perfect for groups and we loved the rooftop deck since we lucked out with some fabulous weather. This one will stay on my list of favs for future vacations!
