I’ve rented probably close to 50 properties through VRBO and most don’t match their descriptions. This was a pleasant surprise. Home was very clean and instructions were clear. Everything was up to date. Even the beach gear was well maintained. Neighbors were very friendly-I don’t have one complaint. Very quick walk to beach and nice selection of restaurants nearby. Ashley was very thorough and communicative. Thanks to Ashley and her family for open their home to us.

Very nice house, clean and up-to-date amenities. It was very nice to have beach chairs and umbrella and other items provided for use so we didn't have to rent them or bring them with us. And very glad they allowed us to have our two large dogs. The yard was roomy enough for them to enjoy being outside and go to the restroom without having to be walked. Great patio sitting area for the evenings and you could hear the ocean waves. Close to restaurants and entertainment and the beach.

The property is in the perfect location with just a short walk to the beach. There is a fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to exercise. The home is beautiful and very inviting. It is stocked with all that is needed for cooking and beach entertainment. The host is wonderful!

Love Kure Beach and this place is in the best location. Close to beach, pier, restaurants and a park. We visited the dog park, played pickleball, went to the beach (many times of course) without driving. Great backyard and carport seating when you need a little break from the sun or early mornings. Great neighbors with recommendations on where to go. Clean and comfortable. Awesome outdoor shower. Looking to stay again in July hopefully. Thanks for a great vacation

I've stayed here before and it's a lovely place, just a few minutes walk away from the beach. The property owner is easy to communicate with, and she went above and beyond what is expected by offering our family flexibility when our plans changed. We'll be back!
