We had a great time. A golf cart would have made things more accessible.
Enough space for everyone. Good location. Amenities were nice. Would like to have had a bath mat in the master shower. The rocks were not comfortable on the feet. There was some possible “mold” on the ceiling in the master bedroom near the outside balcony entrance.

My family and friends enjoyed this beach house for the weekend celebrating both of my son’s birthdays. The house was very spacious and there was plenty of room. The beach was so close about a 4min walk. Lots to do at the boardwalk for the younger and older ones.

Great location, nice accommodations
Overall great stay. We had a a few issues with inadequate silverware and insufficient bath towels for our large group, but both were handled quickly. We had a great stay and overall the place was comfortable and lovely. We were disappointed to arrive to find that one of the bathrooms was under repair leaving us down a shower. We were able to make it work, but with 13 people it was a shuffle.

The home was very lovely and spacious. There were numerous places to meditate, enjoy time spent with family, etc. Everything from shoppettes to the pier where within biking or walking distance. The children and adults had a wonderful time biking to the beach.

Hard to beat this house for a vacation rental at Carolina Beach / Kure Beach
This house comes fully stocked with beach gear, bikes, cornhole boards/bean bags and a BBQ. Kitchen and family room are very spacious. Plenty of beds some of which have the sleep number system. Great communication with the property manager, Plenty of restaurants within a few miles of the house. Would love to go back and spend more time there.

My family loved this house. The agency was wonderful to work with. They were very quick to respond to any emails I sent. Was just a little too far of a walk to the beach access for our toddlers. We did find a closer beach access which helped. Our family would definitely stay in this house again.
