The property was very clean, very spacious. The host was very easy to work with. The weather wasnt great so the kids really liked the indoor pool. Loved the view of the ocean. All the amenities and restaurants were close by. Its our first time at Kure Beach and we enjoyed ourselves very much. We will visit again next year.

The room itself was great and we enjoyed our stay. The air conditioner broke towards the end, but the maintenance company was extremely responsive and had it fixed within two hours. The condo was very clean and well maintained, and space was no issue with 11 people. The only inconvenience we experienced was that there was no ability to lock the beach equipment room in the garage below. Unfortunately, we had a beach wagon and pop-up canopy stolen during the first night, as well as some other, smaller items. While the room was fantastic, the beach was not as kid-friendly as we had hoped. The beach was very rocky, and there is a steep drop off about 50 feet into the beach. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed both the room and the stay. Would definitely visit again!

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our vacation rental. Our team works hard to ensure that our guests have the best possible experience, and we are glad to see that reflected in your review. We are delighted that you found the rental to be clean and comfortable. We appreciate your kind words about our staff and their prompt response time. We are so sorry to hear about your stolen property; the storage underneath is for the owners use only, that is why you were not provided with a key. We definitely advise that you contact the non-emergency police to report the stolen items if you have not already. The rocky section can be a challenge to explore during low tide; on the bright side you can find all kinds of neat ocean creatures if you look, just be sure to be careful as you search. Thank you again for your review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Girls Trip

At first it seemed very unwelcoming by telling you to pretty much bring everything. I’ve stayed in many other rentals and never had to buy our supplies as we did here. Our welcoming gift was 2 rolls of toilet paper & 1 paper towel. (3BR, 3B – 4 guest for 5 days??) We had a few issues with light bulbs out but was quickly resolved by Sam the handyman. He was very nice & took care of things. Also, the downstairs bathroom towel rack & toilet paper holder were broken and barely hanging. The internet was very bad. In and out all the time. Cleaning people need to pay more attention to items not working correctly & report to management for repairs. The location was perfect for us as far as getting around the area and we did enjoy ourselves.

Kure Beach vaca

The townhouse is very spacious and has 2 amazing decks where you can hear the waves as you sleep. Make sure to bring your paper products, laundry detergent, dish detergent. If you're bringing kids to play in the water there are rocks right in front of this property and need to be careful when diving into the water if the tide is high. The area is beautiful and great place to find amazing shells.

Great location very clean

We really enjoyed our stay. The views are amazing and the place is very nice and clean. We do believe that at this price point it's a little odd that we have to put the sheets on the bed ourselves, but we knew that going in.

Beautiful place

The property was very clean, and the beach access is walking steps from the pier. The communication with the property manager(s) was very swift, constant, and clear. I loved the email and text communication! The only thing this property needs to work on is TV and AC information. We are a young group and had trouble working the TVs and the downstairs TV in the first bedroom kept popping off. The upstairs masters bedroom was extremely HOT and we could not adjust the unit because it kept asking for a code! Beautiful property, and my family and parents enjoyed it.

Very clean and quiet.

We were very pleased with this condo as it was extremely clean on the inside, had an updated kitchen and sheets/towels were provided (they came sealed in plastic and placed in each bedroom). The master bed was very comfy making for a good nights sleep. We also liked that there was a downstairs and upstairs balcony, but unfortunately the birds (mostly pigeons) have made the upstairs balcony their perching place and the deck floor, railings and chair were covered in bird poop (yuk!). Maybe you could put a fake owl or something on the railing as a bird deterrent. We used the main floor balcony which is underneath the upstairs one so it only had a little bird poop on the railing which we washed off (we left the bucket for future renters). This condo is almost to the end of Kure, close to Ft. Fischer, making it a quieter area with less traffic. The beach in this area is known for it's rocks , making for a beautiful beach setting when the tide is low, but for those that like to swim, not so great. Children love it as they can crawl around the rocks and look for crabs/shells in-between the rock crevice's and seagrass. The designated parking space under the building is the largest one for that building which is great for those that have large SUV's. We had a little difficulty with the thermostat, it would be nice if there were a set of directions on how to use it. Same goes for the TV sets. We never could get the master bedroom TV set to work (we had sound only). The shower drain in the Master could use a cleaning (drains very slow) and it might be wise to put some slip resistance tape in all the showers... the downstairs one was quite slippery. One set of blinds do not work in the master bedroom (left hand side)... all the rest are fine. All in all, we had a very nice stay and yes, we would come back to this unit again. We loved that the ferry to Southport is just down the road (great ferry ride, just 30 minutes and Southport is such a cute town) and also that the aquarium is right here also (otters were so cute! The 2 story shark tank was very impressive). Lot's of places to eat at (try Fish Bites) and visit outside of Kure which made for a great vacation.

Great family time at Shore Enough

Need instructions for operating television Only able to get stations on master bedroom tv but tried to change channels and could not get stations after attempting another station. We tried instructions from tech but It did not work on living room tv. Also thought linens were not included in this rental but turns out they were.
