Lovely place

Only problem I had was the yard was not mowed. I'm sure that was out of the hosts control. Other than that, the house was cute and had a rustic beach feel to it which I loved and only one block walk to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely great place to stay! I wish we could have stayed longer. The house is well stocked for cooking and kept very clean. Great communication with the host and we had a very nice conversation about places to eat and things to do. It was myself, my husband, my daughter and her husband and 5 month old, my son and his 11 year old daughter. Easy entry into the house and a skip across the road to the beach. Such a nice and very much needed weekend we had. I will definitely look for this property when planning another family vacation.

We had a great time at this little cottage that was only 1 block from the beach! Aside from being ON the beach, this couldn't have been a better location. The beach at Kure is also really family friendly as it's not overcrowded at all. The beach did get busier on Saturday and Sunday, however never to the point that you felt claustrophobic. It was always easy to keep your eyes on your kids both in the water and on the beach. I personally preferred that to the busy beach of Carolina Beach just 5 minutes up the road.A 5-10 minute driver brings you up to Carolina Beach with a bunch of restaurants and other attractions that we did on two of the nights we were down there.We had the best time, and will definitely be coming back to Kure Beach again!

Long weekend at the Beach

We rented for a long weekend at the beach with 2-parents, 2-kids, Grandma and pup. House is well stocked with kitchen tools and board games. Location is unbeatable! Very much enjoyed the stay. Check-in and out was easy. Would recommend!

Great Stay!

We loved the property and would highly recommend it. It was a convenient walk to the beach and dining, and a short drive to shopping and entertainment. The space was perfect for our family of four plus our dog. Consider this strong endorsement. --Andy

Amazing location and perfect little home!

We had a wide range of ages stay at this home (from 2yrs to 5ish) and WE ALL ENJOYED IT. Great amount of space for the kids to play around also! Not to mention - the SUPER SHORT WALK to the beach! We enjoyed our stay and everything that the host had to offer within the home, plus great communication. Thank you for hosting us :)

Great beach cottage for 2 families to hang out before and after moving our boys into UNCW. We grilled steaks, played cards, enjoyed the beach, ocean, outdoor shower, comfy beds, TV, sofas, patio, and walking to the pier, restaurants and arcade. A great setting for launching our boys. Host was helpful and place was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Maher

Host profile image
I'm a New Orleans native, and love Music, food, and culture. I spent 30 years in Washington, DC in the promotional products business and chose to move to Kure Beach for a place to raise 2 spirited children. I am still very active with my promo business, and also have 4 other rental properties on the island.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to the beach and downtown Kure Beach is spectacular. This location is considered downtown Kure Beach, just 5 short blocks from the pier. We love this location because it's just a short distance from all the chaos, and where you can really relax. We love that the cottage is on the ground, and not a vertical situation, like most other homes in the area. Step out on the porch, put your feet on the grass, hear, smell, and see the ocean begging you to come play in the sand.

What makes this property unique

This home was completely gutted on the inside, restoring the old pine walls and ceilings, sleeping porch to its new glow.
