"Wow! - This property is as advertised. Magnificent home with a private pool and a short, private boardwalk to the beach. Two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two microwaves and two empty pantries for guest use make the kitchen a dream. Three en suites (two with access to an expansive porch facing the ocean) and one Jack-and-Jill set up were great for our family. The management company was very responsive and provided ample, clear communication. The only negative is the location beside a public access. There was some noise during the first night, but that was all. Turned out not to be a big deal. Overall - just a magnificent home."

"We had a fantastic family reunion at Hakuna Matata! The house was large enough to sleep everyone & spacious enough for everyone to spread out and play games, socialize, etc. The house was stocked with everything and more for the pool, games, and kitchen tools. This house is one we will be rebooking for sure!"

"Best vacation ever!!!! - This house is beautiful!!! It is so roomy that 18 people had no trouble being spaced out and not feeling crowded. The bedrooms and bathrooms are huge. Everything we needed was available. The location was great for us and it was easy to find plenty of great places to eat. Our youngest was 5 years old and the oldest was 85. The elevator was awesome to have to move our luggage in and out. The owners have gone above and beyond with making you feel at home. We are planning our next vacation and this is the house for us. Carolina Beach Realty gets an A+ for taking good care of us and meeting all of our needs. Wonderful place to make memories!!!! To the owners, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us."

"Family Vacation - The pictures does that do this rental justice; it is beautiful! We had plenty of room inside and the back deck looking over the pool and beach was our favorite hangout. Kitchen had everything you needed to help you cook your meals. The only complaint that I have is not having more time off to stay extra days. We didn’t want to leave! We will be returning and would highly recommend it. Also the staff at Carolina Rentals are great!"

"Our group thoroughly enjoyed Hakuna Matata. The bedrooms and common areas were spacious and easily accommodated our group of 10. The decor was contemporary and tastefully beachy. We loved the large dining room table, wine fridge, two kitchen sinks and dishwashers, and outdoor decks. This house is definitely on our favorite list!"

"This house was perfect for our big family. It was very spacious and clean. The two decks gave us a great view of sunrises and the pool was a great place to stargaze at night. The inviting views and well planned kitchen made dinners and entertaining a breeze. Thanks for making our visit to Kure beach memorable. We would definitely return to Hakuna Matata!"

"We come to Kure Beach every year with our family and the lay out of this house was one of the best for large meals/gatherings. The kitchen was stellar with a HUGE fridge and two drink fridges. The pool was spacious and clean and the reality company responded quickly when we needed the pump fixed. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space or multiple families to have their own rooms/bathrooms. It is right next to a public beach access point, so it does get a bit crowded at times. We ordered chair/umbrellas to be set out each morning- so we always had a beach spot with no problems."

"This is the second year in a row we have rented this beach house. It sleeps 18 people and with a large family plus friends, we are able to comfortably fit into this home. The kitchen is amazing (although you do need to bring some of your own accessories if you are a real cook). The views are incredible from both the upper and lower decks. The pool is non-operational in the winter. We will rent this home again; its now part of our family tradition."

"House was just what I expected, beautiful in every aspect. Very clean, everything worked perfect. We had a small issue with one of the smoke detectors needing a battery and we had no problem contacting the office and someone was out to repair it in a very timely manner. Highly recommend this rental."
