Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin B. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Tidy and adorable spot just a few blocks from the Kure Beach Pier. Easy walk to the beach and several dining spots. Check in and out were seamless. The only drawback was the small amenities were in a bit of neglect (example: none of the battery powered games worked and neither did a Roku remote). But these were small things we could have addressed, so still rating this stay 10/10\. ##### Erin B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen P. 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This house is beautifully decorated and clean. It’s much larger in person than it appears in the photos. The location was perfect for our trip. I would highly recommend this property with one caveat…the master bath doesn’t have a door, just a sheer curtain. This was very awkward and something to keep in mind if you are considering renting and like privacy. Other than this, the house was perfect! ##### Colleen P.
