Place was fantastic! Weather was rough, however, accommodations made up for it. Location was great as we walked everywhere. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go to the beach.
Rented this beach house for a long weekend family vacation, and it was perfect! Plenty of room for 8 adults and 1 toddler. Rooms were just as pictured, and very clean. Great location and parking also.
This was the perfect place for me and my friends to stay and help celebrate my golden birthday! The house was perfect for all of us and was so close to the beach!!
Our family stayed at this home this past week. We were overall very happy with this property, the location was great, a short 10 minute walk to beach and short drive to boardwalk.
This place is huge! Seriously the pictures don’t do it justice. It is in the perfect location, and perfect to have a lot of people (we had 7 adults) that aren’t on top of one another. We had a wedding in Wilmington and it was a short uber ride in. The beach is right down the road, so is a Publix and a bunch of restaurants. We’ve already talked about coming back!
This was a great house, we enjoyed our stay. It was very well stocked with everything needed in the kitchen, most places don’t do a great job making sure there’s plenty of kitchen items. It was clean and decorated nicely. Another thing that was nice was that we could adjust the thermostat 😂 we stayed at a few places and the owner wouldn’t let us adjust the air so that was quite terrible. It’s also within walking distance of the beach, a few restaurants and an organic coffee place that was really great
The house was great location for the beach. I was disappointed there was so little seating in the living area. Only one sofa didn't accommodate my family. It would also have nice if there had been more dishes and not so heavy
The property was beautiful. The kitchen was very spacious, and we did not feel crowded while we were in there. It was a very short walk to the beach. The bedrooms are all very nice and accommodating. The balcony areas are very nice as well as the other outdoor space with the grill area. The bed or the frame in the first floor guest area off the kitchen needs updated or replaced. Noisy with the slightest movement. The extra beach, chairs, and beach Kurt provided was a nice addition. We would highly recommend this property and would stay here again.We really enjoyed our stay!

Tevis Vacation June 2024
We have been coming to Carolina Beach/Kure Beach for years and this was our first time staying at this location. This house well exceeded our expectations! The surrounding neighbors/houses were all very quiet which made relaxing on the 3 decks very easy. The sunrise view from the rooftop deck was stunning. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We were able to walk everywhere, (boardwalk/beach/restaurants/the lake) easily from this location even with small children. We are already planning our next trip back to this house!

Great location, spacious, clean and updated. Everything a family would want or need on vacation.
Property is close to the beach, restaurants/bars & shops. The property is great: awesome house, relaxing patio area w/ grill. We just love it, definitely our annual friend-cation spot for many more years to come!
Great place to stay. Outdoor area was nice. Kitchen stocked nicely with plates, pots, pans, etc. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms nice. Appreciated they had enough hangars in closet to hang all our clothes.
Overall, it is as a good experience! The house was clean and furnished nicely! Loved that the beach was within walking distance as well as a few good places to eat.

This is the second year that we have stayed here and I absolutely love this house. The location is perfect for the beach, walking the neighborhood, walking to the Saturday farmers market, etc.
David was very responsive to messages. Check-in directions were emailed 3 days prior and easy to follow. The house was very spacious, well-maintained, and clean. and the kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials plus a Keurig and blender. The house also comes with puzzles and games and a large kitchen table to gather. Public beach access is less than a 5 minute walk to Spartanburg Ave and the Boardwalk area has tons of restaurants, entertainment, and small shops. We watched the Carolina Beach fireworks show from the 2nd floor balcony and rooftop.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Pura Vida in Carolina Beach. The property was well appointed, in a great location, and very clean. The unit looks exactly like the pictures. It worked great for 2 families and the open floor plan of the main living area was a great place to hang out. My only minor complaint is that there was no bar/bath soap supplied (be sure to bring your own) and there was only 1 bath towel per person,
Open concept is spacious and roomy with two stories and an upper stair balcony for star gazing and sunsets. Great outdoor seating with shower with lunch tables and couches and a small grill. walking distance to the beach. If you have issues with climbing stairs than be aware there are stairs here.

We loved staying at Pura Vida. The pictures did not do it justest for showing how light, open and spacious it was. Tons of outside areas to enjoy, well equipped kitchen, easy walk to beach. Property was well maintained and clean. Loved to walk or bike to area events. Easy walk to area where the carnival rides were located. Quiet and peaceful too.

We booked late and we’re glad that Pura Vida was available. The home is brand new and well appointed. The location to the public beach access was convenient.Highlights:- large kitchen with new appliances- huge closets and comfortable bedrooms- ample parking- nice rooftop deck with view of ocean- over-sized washer/dryer- A1 property management easy to work with and had good communication note: there isn’t an enclosed/secure space outside to store beach, surfing, fishing gear

April 2023 Stay
Property was very accommodating, tastefully decorated and conveniently located to attractions. Extremely disappointed that the management team didn’t covey the construction activity across the street. We were unable to take advantage of any outdoor spaces (which was a major reason this property was chosen). We should have been informed and offered other comparable properties.
Items in unit that need attention:
Light over oven needs replacing
Closet door in upstairs back bedroom doesn’t open on right side.
Master bath shower heads are desperately in need of cleaning. Water barely trickles out. Something brown on pocket door in master bathroom.
I think we should be offered a rebate or something for the inconvenience we endured. Open to discussion.
Thanks
