Sea of Kureosity (pronounced “Curiosity”) is a family-friendly home located at the southern end of Kure (pronounced CURE-ee) Beach between Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher, away from the hustle and bustle of the north end. It is a newly-renovated duplex (you will be renting Unit A) and an easy 5-minute walk to Avenue F Public Beach Access.
When you and your guests arrive, head straight to the house! With a convenient keyless entry system, there's no need to check in off-site. Just come on in!
Pack the cooler, grab some beach chairs and toys from the storage unit, load them into the wagon and head down to the beach. Just beyond the wooden boardwalk, your toes will soon be on the white, sandy beach and then in the blue waters of the Atlantic. Due to its location, it is less crowded during the peak season.
Once you’re done on the beach, escape to the backyard oasis! Fire up the grill and gather your family and friends for a cookout. You’ll find there’s plenty of seating around the custom-built picnic table for all of the house guests. Catch the game or showcase photos on the 55” 4K SmartTV and relax under the 3 overhead fans. If you prefer to eat inside, gather around the large table with seating for eight; we even have a high chair for the littlest one. Prepare to make memories!
The entertainment center is stocked with a large variety of games for every age.
Just off the living room, you can head out to the screened-in deck and listen to the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore: rock your cares away in one of the rocking chairs as ocean breeze hits your face and the smell of the ocean fills your soul.
Off the primary bedroom is another deck with ocean views. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or a nightcap in one of the high-top, Adirondack chairs. Since the house isn't in the busier part of the island, you can grab that book you've wanted to read and head out on the deck; or, grab a book or magazine from the living room.
When you’re ready to retire for the night, you’ll find this home is just what you need to relax and rejuvenate for the coming day. The premium linens are professionally laundered and beds made prior to your arrival; so, no need to worry about making beds once you’re ready to catch some Zzzz’s on the brand new, hybrid mattresses.
It's time to see what all the island has to offer and you will soon find that the white, sandy beach isn’t the only attraction. While spring and summer temps average about 82 degrees, our fall and winter temps average about 67 degrees (weather.com) making it a great vacation spot any time of year!
While you’re here:
Visit the oldest pier on the East Coast, Kure Beach Fishing Pier, where you can shop, fish directly from the pier, get a sea gull’s eye view of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, or relax on one of the swings or benches.

Picnic tables and benches are also placed around the playground, making it a great place to relax with family and friends. All of these facilities are on a first come, first serve basis, so you'll want to plan accordingly. Don’t forget your four-legged family members! Gurney Hood Barking Lot (Dog Park) is part of the Joe Eakes Park and is the only public area in Kure Beach where you can let your dog off its leash to romp and play!
Visit the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and its many restaurants, shops, and the Carolina Beach Arcade! While you’re there, you have to stop by the famous Britt’s Donuts!
During the spring and summer months, Carolina Beach has a Farmer's Market at the lake.
