About this property

1 BR Efficiency in Private Historic Motel w pool!

Welcome to the Hidden Treasure Inn! We are located on a quiet street in downtown Kure Beach. As a part of the famed Pleasure Island, you will discover that Kure Beach is a small beach town with a big heart. During your stay at The Hidden Treasure Inn, you're only a short walk to our beautiful beaches and the Historic Kure Beach Pier. "The Egret" is Room 3 in a unique four unit Inn located on a quiet side street, only 2 blocks from downtown Kure Beach. Enjoy your own private entrance onto our shaded brick patio, where you will enjoy our beautiful gardens, fenced grassy yard with picnic tables and a hammock for relaxing after a day in the sun. You'll also want to spend time by the crystal clear pool while your visiting.

"The Egret" is a one room efficiency with a King Bed in the Living area. This Unit Does Not have a Kitchen but includes a Refrigerator, Microwave, and Coffee Maker.

Everyone will love people watching from the porch, playing games on the manicured lawn, or preparing your catch of the day on the gas grill. You may never want to leave Hidden Treasure Inn; but if you do you'll find plenty to do with shops and restaurants nearby, along with the fishing pier, the NC Aquarium and historic Fort Fisher. The beach is a short stroll across the street to the public beach access.

Make plans today to spend a few nights enjoying this unique throwback to a simpler time in a quiet neighborhood of beautiful Kure Beach.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful setting, easy walk to the beach and pier, and found the space clean. We provide a starter pack of supplies and communicate this before arrival, but we’ll work on making that clearer so guests are prepared.

This was one of the most disappointing VRBO experiences I’ve had. The property had a strong moldy, musty odor from the moment we walked in. The smell was not subtle—it was pervasive throughout the unit and made it unpleasant to sleep, relax, or spend any significant time indoors. It raised serious concerns about the condition of the property and whether there are unresolved moisture or mold issues.What made the situation even more frustrating was the response. After reporting the problem, the maintenance person suggested that I close the air conditioning vents to help reduce the odor. This was during a period of approximately 100F temperatures. Asking guests to limit air conditioning in extreme heat is not a solution; it’s an attempt to mask the problem while making the property less comfortable and potentially unsafe.Rather than addressing the source of the odor, the burden was placed on the guest to tolerate it. We paid for a clean, comfortable vacation rental and did not receive one. The smell was impossible to ignore and significantly impacted our stay.I would strongly encourage prospective guests to ask detailed questions about ventilation, moisture, and odor issues before booking. Based on my experience, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that this issue impacted your stay. Prior to your arrival, our maintenance team inspected the property and investigated the odor concern. They determined that the smell was originating from an older, non-functioning HVAC unit. The active HVAC system was tested, interior humidity levels were checked, and no evidence of mold was found during the inspection. We also recognize that our communication regarding the issue could have been clearer. The recommendation was not to reduce cooling in the home, but rather to keep the vents connected to the inactive unit closed. We understand how that message could have been confusing, and we regret any frustration it caused. Your feedback has been shared with our team as we work to improve both our communication and our handling of concerns like this in the future. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and wish you the best in your future travels.

Cold.

Air could not be controlled. No utensils. No Kleenex. No bathroom soap. I've since learned this is normal for Beach VRBO.
