About this property

Come visit our Seaside Escape! OCEANFRONT & recently renovated!

If you like beaches the way they are meant to be; quiet, serene and beautiful, then come visit our Seaside Escape in Kure Beach, NC!!! If you want a place to stay that is clean and comfortable as well as convenient... THIS is the place for you!

Our three bedroom, two bath townhouse is a two-story unit overlooking the Atlantic oceanfront. This is not a high rise, just three steps in the back door and three steps out the front door to the beach. From the master bedroom you can wake up with the sunrise and gaze out through french doors at the sand and waves crashing in on the shore (right from your bed). The view is amazing!

There is an additional upstairs bedroom that has two double beds. Finally there is a third bedroom with a queen size bed and second bath downstairs (great for elderly guests needing a first floor unit). You can enjoy ocean front views from the porch swing and rockers on the upstairs deck or from the first floor covered porch (loaded with benches and rockers) - either place the ocean breeze makes the climate just perfect.

You may be on vacation, but you'll feel like you're at home. We offer a fully-equipped kitchen with all the major/minor appliances (ie. cable TV, VCR/DVD, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, blender and dishwasher). You'll be able to relax or entertain, whatever you like!

When you come inside from the beach feel like you never left. A classic nautical theme can be found throughout the house. From the murals on the walls, to the waves and shells, you'll find the decor is nothing less than soothing and inviting.

As for local activities, you can find much to do. Choose from the newly expanded and renovated Aquarium at Historic Fort Fisher to the Cape Fear Museum in downtown Wilmington or something as simple as taking a short 4 block stroll to see what they're catching on the Kure Beach pier. Pleasure Island puts on many local events, activities and festivals. There is always something going on here!

If you tire of fishing or swimming, you are conveniently located right between the two Historic towns of Wilmington and Southport. Wilmington is just 16 miles north. There you can visit the U.S.S. North Carolina Battleship (maybe even catch an old flick on the deck one evening) or take a stroll down the beautiful waterfront streets for an endless choice of shopping and dining. There are also a lot of fun indoor activities in nearby Wilmington: Bounce House, Defy Gravity, Jungle Rapids, Mayfair Cinemas and Wilmington Children's Museum for example. Either way you are covered on those 'rainy days' with indoor activities in this area!

Less than six miles south you can hop on a short ferry ride to the quaint town of Southport or Bald Head Island. You will probably recognize this town from such films as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' 'Matlock', 'Domestic Disturbance', or the more recent 'Safe Haven'. If you're a movie buff take a tour of the local Screen Gem Studios and see where many movies have been made such as 'Iron Man III' as well as where 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Sleepy Hollow' was taped.

Worried about what to do with the kids? Take them to Jungle Rapids to enjoy the water park, go-carts, and miniature golf. You will not want to miss the zoo either. A zoo at the beach you ask? You've got it... or actually we do! Tregembo's Animal Park (previously known as'Tote-em-in Zoo') has many animals ranging from the ones you'd like to pet to the ones that you know to stay away from. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

If you really like amusement parks; take a day trip to busy Myrtle Beach and go to the Pavilion (little more than an hour away). While you're there check out 'Pirate's Voyage,' 'Ripley's Believe It or Not,' and Broadway at the Beach, or just stroll the boardwalk... then come home to your quiet beachfront town.

For those golfers in your group; you will find several local courses (some even championship) to challenge your golfing skills.

Don't forget all the shopping, dining, and sightseeing! With the warmer temperatures in prime season complemented by the mild temperatures in the off season; as well as the area attractions and friendly local residents... you'll find our townhouse a great vacation spot year round!

Come and stay with us at our Seaside Escape!

Right on the beach

This is about as close to the water as you can get! So easy to walk right out the door and get your feet in the sand. Perfect for bringing little kids to the beach because you don’t have to walk far. We loved watching sunrises from the master bedroom deck. We also enjoyed being able to walk to some restaurants and the pier from this house.

Perfect beach getaway

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property, and it was fabulous yet again! The unit is perfect for our group of five. The hosts thought of everything and have all of the supplies you need. You cannot beat the location. You literally step off the back porch on to the beach! Kure Beach is a really nice little beach town with plenty to do, even in the winter time. We hope to come back again next year!

Amazing find!

Our family of five loved this newly renovated beachfront town home! The space was perfect for running out the door to enjoy the beach, and the well thought out interior had each of our tribe feeling relaxed and comfortable. This home is absolutely perfect for enjoying the best of Kure beach! In addition, the recommendations list for restaurants is spot on! Really wonderful stay!

Family Beach Escape

Seaside Escape was truly perfect for our family of four. Nice beach decor and well stocked with all the essentials. Robyn was very responsive and provided great recommendations for our first visit to Kure Beach (won’t be our last). We enjoyed our morning coffee and sunrises from the top deck off the master bedroom. The location was close enough for walks to the pier/restaurants and a short drive to Carolina Beach. Enjoyed our stay!

Family Beach Getaway

We had an excellent beach getaway after a busy school year, and Robyn's place was the central hub of our long weekend. The recent renovations were a delightful surprise, and it was superbly clean. Plus, it was plenty spacious, comfortably housing my wife and me, our two boys (4 and 1yo), her parents, and a family friend. However, the best feature by far was the two porches (one upper and one lower level) with direct beach access (~100 ft walk). It was a wonderful property that helped us make many memories!

Consistently Great

This is our second time renting Seaside Escape, and as before we had a great stay. First, the property is in an outstanding location. Right on the beach. Walk out the back door, across the causeway, and you're there. Walking distance to restaurants and a short drive to the USS North Carolina, aquarium, and a number of other attractions. Second, the host is fantastic. She's attentive and was concerned enough to make us aware of the riptide caused by hurricane Lee. We have a family of 7 with one of our kids being special needs. Plenty of room for all of us, and we're already planning to return next year.

Great location. Nice place. But too many things needed to be fixed.

It had been renovated nicely. But too many things needed to be fixed that were important to us. The ice machine wasn’t working, the disposal never worked. There was a bad clog in the dishwasher so we weren’t able to use that. There were also the downstairs blinds which were told we weren’t able to open because I think they were also broken. Those are the blinds that would look out towards the ocean. There were only two kitchen knives that we could find and they were really in bad shape All in all it was a good place and if those things were fixed, we would probably come back.

Perfect for a family get-away!

We had a wonderful time this past week staying at this property despite a bit of rain and wind! The townhouse had a great location and getting to and from the beach with young kids was super easy. It was nice having the back porch to store beach supplies and clean off with the shower. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck upstairs off of the master bedroom - great for star gazing! Wifi worked great and helped for our remote learner to do schoolwork while we were there. Communication with the owner was great. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues which the owner was aware and sounded like were in process of fixing. Overall we were pretty pleased with the rental and it made for a great get-away! Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn

Host profile image
We are local owners! We bought this property in 2001 while we were looking for a place to vacation for ourselves. We fell in love with the location and the appeal of owning a home on the beach. Since then we have also moved to Kure Beach and are raising our children here (2 girls and a boy). We love Pleasure Island and the small town community feeling it offers. We are also Mortgage Brokers and can help you fulfill your dream of owning your own Seaside Escape!

Here on the island we love all the activities offered at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk in the summer: charter fishing tours, party boat tours, family movies by the lake, paddle boating, the amusement park (summer only), surf lessons, beach bingo, fireworks and world famous doughnuts. We enjoy visiting the NC Aquarium along with Historic Fort Fisher, driving out to the north end of Carolina Beach (Freeman Park) to camp for the day on the beach. We like riding our bikes onto the ferry and over to the little town of Southport. We can't believe we actually live here and get to enjoy this all year!

We are thrilled to be able to share our 2nd home on the beach with you and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do! Best of all, if you need anything we are minutes away.

Why they chose this property

I grew up vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC and my husband at Nags Head, NC. We found Kure Beach to be a wonderful alternative! It is located on an island about 11 miles long and consists of three small towns Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Historic Fort Fisher. It is not the commercialized or tourist attracting town of Myrtle Beach. (We love to visit there but usually make it a day trip) Kure Beach consists mostly of cottages which are 2nd homes or primary residences. There are lots of wonderful restaurants, shopping and local activities offered year round.

This property has private parking, spectacular views, and nice size rooms. One of it's best features is that it's ground level (4 steps up and you're in the door).

What makes this property unique

There is always some kind of small town festival, farmers market, concert, fishing tournament or local race happening on the island - but it is never too crowded. One of the secret advantages of this island is a back road (Dow Rd) which runs along the government owned property lines that allows you to drive from practically one end of the island to the other at 55mph. If you know about this little local secret, traffic is never a problem.

Check out the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce's website for local events and happenings.


They don't call it 'Pleasure Island' for nothing!
