We had a PERFECT stay at Tranquility Base in Kure Beach. The house was fabulous and impressed even my teenagers. We were a short walk from the public beach access and the house had all sorts of thoughtful touches that made the stay literally perfect. The check in and out instructions were not overly complicated and the house was truly one of the best stays I've ever had at a Vrbo rental vacation home.We hope to come back again :)

Easy check in Sunday evening, very nice, clean, well furnished house with plenty of space for our family of 10. Easy walk to beach access, and it isn’t right on the main drag. We really enjoyed our five day trip. Worth the 9 hour ride to get here.
