Repeat booking and even better this time
This was our 2nd consecutive year to stay at this house during the summer and it is perfect for our family. The location to the ocean, basketball, tennis courts, a convenience store, restaurants, and most importantly ice cream can't be beat. The house itself is spacious, beautiful, clean, and well equipped. We are definitely planning to come back next year!

Beautiful home
Beautiful home with gorgeous furnishings and artwork. There was plenty of space, large bedrooms, great outdoor living space, and relatively close to the ocean. We loved having the extra fridge in the garage and the beach chairs. Thank you

Perfect everything
This was our second opportunity to stay in this beautiful, well equipped, perfect home. Our host is warm, friendly, and quick to respond to any question. This home is perfectly situated and truly feels like home. Everything we needed was already there. Our family made so many memories! We hope to be able to return again. We truly can’t imagine a more perfect home and host.

Would stay again!
From the time of booking, the property owner Mike was kept us well informed. The house was just what we expected if not more. The linens on the beds room so soft and the beds were very comfortable. The house has so much room and it great for large groups. Kitchen was very well stocked and so roomy that we had no issues with several of us in there at one time. Porches galore!! We always had some where to relax. I don't think there was one complaint from our group. The location is spectacular. Nice view of the ocean from the 3rd floor covered porch. Street is quiet and allowed the kids to safely ride their bikes around. Short walk to the beach made it easy to come and go as needed. Pier is close by and a lot of great places to eat. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Host profile image
We have been coming to Kure Beach for over 20 years and bought our 1st property (an ocean front condo) in '01). We sold it a few years later and bought a house at Kure in the Fort Fisher area near the battleground. During the 14 years that we had this house, we rented it on VRBO for the past 8 years with reviews that were all 5. We live on a lake in NC near the VA border and love both vacation locations. We love the Kure Beach area and are now with in a short 4 min walking distance to the downtown area and activities. We love our new house and have been working since December to get it furnished, accessorized and landscaped for the 2021 rental season. The landscape project is still underway with more palm trees and beds to be planted. I will add more pictures as this project is completed. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. If this is your 1st visit to Pleasure Island and Kure Beach; you will not be disappoint. Kure is laid back and less busy and our sister town Carolina Beach is only 3 miles away with all the commercial activity that you might like as well as an Amusement Park with lots of rides for the kids during the season.
