As usual, a wonderful stay at Crystal Shores! We’ve stayed here many times over the last eight years and it never fails to deliver great ocean views, and much needed R&R. It’s always been the perfect little get-away. Thank you John and Crystal!

Great short trip!

This was our first time in Kure Beach. We have family that live in Carolina Beach and we came down for a 50th birthday celebration. Crystal Shores was a great place to stay! It was close to some great restaurants and a short walk to the beach. We will definitely be back!

Beach getaway

This place was great. The whole family loved staying here. Everything was clean and the unit was well stocked with everything you need, all you need to get is food. Every morning I got to go outside and sit on the porch and watch the sunrise which was beautiful. It's only a very short walk to get to the beach.

Perfect location

It was perfect for 3 of us,more could have felt crowded. Short walk to the beach was enjoyed by all,very close to most restaurants and ice cream shops,which we throughly enjoyed. I gave low rating because cleaning could have been done better otherwise I would have given it 5 star rating.

Excellent view by being upstairs. Very cozy for 2-4 people. Restaurants and the pier 2 blocks away, within walking distance. Beach access is right onsite. Bedrooms and living space perfect size and very comfortable & clean, bathrooms are small. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Wish it was longer and will stay there again.

Everything was just as described. The apartment was spotless and comfortable. The only complaint we had wasn’t with the property but with the amount of the fees charged.

Kure Beach Getaway

The property was beautiful. We enjoyed everything from the accommodations to the proximity to the water. The place was a perfect fit for our family. It was comfortable and relaxing. The short walk to the pier and food and shops was ideal. We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. At night we star gazed and enjoyed hanging out on the deck. The rooms and living room were very large so the sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly. Our group was multi generational and the place allowed for us to be together and still enjoy different things. Thank you for everything

Cozy Cottage

We’ve stayed here several times over the years, and now that our children are grown, they also rent it when they come to the beach. Crystal Shores never disappoints and it’s fun to see the new touches each time we go. Crystal and John do a great job keeping everything updated and feeling fresh and new. As usual, lots of fish were caught and great memories were made!

Perfect getaway!!

This was a last minute trip for myself and my 2 little ones, and it couldn't have been better! The unit is exactuallybas described...recently updated with everything you need. The location was the real winner here. You are steps away from the ocean and a 5 minute walk to the pier. Checking in and out was super simple and our hosts were always quick to respond to questions. We will absolutely stay here again!!
