Beach view was perfect!The unit was dated but clean.Minor issue- It would be really nice if the deck furniture was cafe' height. It would give guests a much better view of the ocean.The stove is probably 30 or 40 years old and needs replaced badly.

loved being oceanfront (without dunes)

Being right ON the ocean was breathtaking, peaceful, energizing and perfect, with no dunes blocking the view (& worth the three flight climb each time, up & down wooden stairs). The furniture & furnishings (kitchenware, etc.) were comfortable and substantial - we especially loved the blue & white wooden deck chairs.

We LOVED Kure Beach!

Th condo was perfect for our vacation/getaway for just us! Only improvements suggested are minor: the a/c runs COLD and may need calibrating, and the fitted sheet provided by the linen service didn’t quite fit the master bed. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Loved having a key code and the ability to check in without checking in :-)

Great Location

Great location and view. A/C lost Freon but it was fixed right away within an hour by the real estate after I reported it. It is a dated unit but other than the ac every thing was fine. I’m sure it will be getting a remodel soon. FYI parking a suburban under the house was too tight for my comfort so we just parked on the pad. We really enjoyed our stay.

Mark, we're so glad you chose Ocean Paradise to celebrate a special family event! Ocean Paradise at Ocean Dunes is such a special property and has so much to offer when visiting Kure Beach. We do try to notify guests of any happenings on our beaches or within the complexes, as you hopefully saw our note about the renovations at Ocean Dunes when you booked your visit. While it's unfortunate that some of the amenities weren't available during your stay, we hope you will visit again when they are!

Great Visit

We loved the area and the location of the property. We were unable to use the washer and dryer because it got rust on our clothes when we used it. Washer and Dryers are very important to us when we are at the beach, so that was not great. We loved the place and the location. This was our first trip to Kure Beach and we definitely want to come back. Our condo was nice but dated, but you could not beat the location and the views and the deck. The couch was very uncomfortable. We loved the beach!
