Beautiful little bungalo

My sister and I booked this beautiful little bungalo for a weekend trip. We loved it! It was exactly as listed; clean, comfortable, fresh snd with everything we needed for the weekend. The owners were great answering questions that I had prior to our visit and upon arrival. There are rocking chairs and beach chairs available for use too! We walked to breakfast and dinner at the pier as well as a local market during our stay.

Weekend escape

It was all about the location. Steps away from the sand and surf. Easy to walk to restaurants and store. The place was spotless and we had everything we needed including a blender for frozen drinks. We will be back.

The great little economy suite was just what we needed. To us, the LOCATION of the space was what we loved most. The ease of slipping out the door and down the ramp to be met by sand between our toes and the sounds of waves was awesome!

Nice Getaway

Nice little getaway in Kure Beach, NC. Clean and convenient right on the beach. The lower units do not have an ocean view, but the access is easy and you are also within walking distance to the pier and restaurants. I only live 15 minutes from there and we use it for a weekend getaway with out the long drive.

Good and Bad

When my wife and I arrived and picked up the door code, it was incorrect. It was not difficult to get a new code, just a little frustrating. We went out to dinner and returned to someone from another room in our parking spot. Not familiar with the area and how particular the police monitor the beach access parking, so I was uncomfortable paying for parking while the situation was being taken care of. By the time we were about to pay for overnight parking, the person using the spot left. Crisis averted. Not the place's fault, but frustrating. The room had a very strong smell of cleaner, which eventually dissipated by the second day, or we just got used to it. The shower curtain showed signs of being dirty and it was hung too high without a liner. Our first shower soaked the floor. I moved the curtain down to avoid that issue again. I do like the way they fixed up the place, but it is starting to show some wear and tear. For instance, the sliding bathroom door had some marks on the outside of it. No, danger to me or anyone else, but I did get worried for being blamed for the marks. While the stay wasn't perfect, some of the issues could not be blamed on the place or the management. That's why my review is "good and bad."

Outstanding

It was an outstanding three nights stay. Proximity to beach was great. Only issue we had was the outside light in the adjacent room was left on after the previous people left and it shined in on our son's bed. But that is a very minor issue and definitely would not keep us from booking in again. Thank you for allowing to stay in such a nice house.

Absolutely Perfect

You honestly never have to get back in your car once you arrive. You have access to anything you could need stores, restaurants and of course steps from the beach. Owners saved us by booking us last minute due to issues with our travel plans and they are great with commissions. The unit was spotless and so cute and cozy. We loved every moment there and truly hated to leave.

Nice, but….

Great location, very close to the beach very clean had everything that we needed with the exception of a comfortable bed, and condiments, like salt and pepper. This unit comes 2 queen beds, we tried both of them. We never got a decent night’s sleep while we were there because these mattresses were so uncomfortable. We both tossed and turned every night and ended up leaving a day early because we just didn’t want to spend one more night getting no sleep. They are EXTREMELY FIRM, spring coil mattresses. If you’re into that, then you’ll love it.

Girls Weekend

Crystal Shores is a lovely cottage on the beach. This is my second stay at the property and I enjoyed my stay again just as much as my first visit. My only disappointment was the I was unable to speak to Gracie at the property management company. I called twice and left a message with no return call. When the property owner’s were running things they were always prompt with replies. I will stay again.

Overall great weekend spot

As other reviewers have stated, the mattresses are incredibly uncomfortable. They have a very thin foam mattress pad that does absolutely nothing. My friend and I both woke up with back pain. That being said, the location is fantastic! Right on the beach, and right down the street from the boardwalk where we could walk to eat and explore. Great place to stay for a weekend!
