About this property
2nd Row, Private Pool and Jacuzzi!
"Family Huddle" is a GORGEOUS Beach House featuring 4 Bedrooms and 2.5 Baths. There is a beautiful in-ground, gated, salt-water private pool and incredibly relaxing multi-jet 4 person, hot tub (both at ground level). These are available exclusively for our house guests. Right across the street is the public beach access! Once across the street, you'll have a choice of either relaxing at the beach or strolling along the pathway adjacent to Coquina Rocks for a morning, afternoon or evening walk (located to the right).
The house is located in Historic Fort Fisher which is part of Kure Beach. You'll find an expansive deck out back and a big porch in the front where you can enjoy some good conversations, food and fun or just kick back and watch the sun set. Fort Fisher is on the South end of Pleasure Island and just to the north of you on the Island is Kure Beach and Carolina Beach.
Pleasure Island has so many fun things to do: The NC Aquarium, Fort Fisher Civil War museum, Fort Fisher-Southport Ferry, State Parks, 2 boardwalks, 2 fishing piers, Britt's Donuts (an institution since 1939), many restaurants serving all of your favorite seafood, live bands, carnival rides, fireworks every Thursday night at 9pm in the summer, deep sea fishing boats, 4-wheel drive beach access on both the North and South end of the Island. JUST A SHORT WALK from your house are walking paths along the Old Fort beside the incredible beauty of the Cape Fear River. DON'T MISS THE SUNSETS on the River... There are NO words to describe it! AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE!
To make reservations, give us a call, text or email and we'll be glad to help make your vacation a special one!
* Linens included for summer reservations of 7 nights or more

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need (except for your food). A stove, microwave and toaster are there to cook up some fantastic meals should you choose to eat in! There is an updated coffee bar area with yummy coffee additions to bring some extra joy to your morning.
Parking is a breeze with plenty of space for up to six cars (on both the driveway and stoned area to the left in the front yard). Free parking for so many cars is a rarity! There is also plenty of room should you need it to park your boat/ trailer (which is separate from the area to park cars). You can back your boat- right off the road for easy access in and out! This is very RARE for beach properties!
Pool use will be available from April 1st till September 30th.
There is a separate owner's space on the basement floor. Occasionally, the owners/property manager will be there to help maintain the grounds, pool and help clean between rental weeks. Not to worry - there is a separate private entrance to this space on opposite side of the guest entrance, pool, decks and jacuzzi. When there, we hope to help make your stay even more exceptional by serving any needs you may have. Otherwise, we will work to stay out of your way and allow you to enjoy your vacation to it's fullest!

About the host
Hosted by Valerie and David Ashburn

Hi! I’m Val! I’m a PT who is originally from PA with a passion for all things coastal and my hubby Dave, an engineer (the ‘fixer’), is native to NC. We met in Hilton Head, SC (on the beach ❤️). We now live in Charlotte, NC, but have a love of the saltwater, sandy toes, panoramic ocean views and sunsets. We knew we’d one day return to the beach. We enjoy hosting family and friends so much at our home in Charlotte that we decided to extend this passion formally at Kure Beach! We have family and friends in Kure and absolutely LOVE the area, so it was an easy choice. We are new hosts (as of May 2024) and diligently working to make some updates for the summer season. Pics are continuously updated to reflect changes. We are very excited to share our space with you! Our goal is to make sure you create sweet memories and have an EXCEPTIONAL experience!
Why they chose this property
We have family just down the road and have been coming here for 20+ years with our children. We truly love the area! Kure, Carolina Beach, Ft. Fisher, Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington have so much to offer with breathtaking views of gorgeous coastal scenery! It is the perfect location for creating sweet memories with family and friends!
What makes this property unique
We have a beautiful saltwater pool, jacuzzi and large decks (front, back, side of house).
The kitchen is open! The windows provide gorgeous natural light that permeates throughout the kitchen, dining room and living room areas. We fell in love with the house the minute we arrived on the property! It has everything we were looking for in a beach house!
