The cottage was used during the filming of the movie “Merv.” The beloved dogs featured in the film stayed right here during production, and the sofa in the living room even appeared on the set as part of Zooey Deschanel’s apartment. It’s a small piece of film history that adds a unique story to this charming beach cottage. HIGHLIGHTS GUESTS LOVE • 2-minute walk to the beach • 5-minute walk to the Kure Beach boardwalk • One of the largest fenced backyards on the island • Front and back porches for relaxing • Outdoor fire pit with built-in bench seating • Huge outdoor shower perfect after beach days • Ground-level cottage with easy access • Bright sunny home with vintage beach charm • Fig tree guests can enjoy during summer months • Plenty of off-street parking PaparaSea is a charming vintage beach cottage perfectly located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the island. Guests love being able to park their car and easily walk everywhere — the beach is just a two-minute stroll away and the lively Kure Beach Pier and nearby boardwalk area are only about five minutes away. The cottage has a warm, relaxed coastal feel with bright natural light, comfortable spaces, and thoughtful touches designed to make your beach stay easy and enjoyable. One of the things that truly sets this property apart is the outdoor space. PaparaSea has one of the largest fenced backyards on the island, creating a private and spacious retreat for relaxing after a day at the beach. In the evenings, guests love gathering around the fire pit with built-in bench seating, making it the perfect place to unwind under the stars and share stories from the day. The home features two inviting porches, one in the front and one in the back, where you can enjoy morning coffee, afternoon breezes, or quiet evenings surrounded by the laid-back atmosphere of Kure Beach. Another guest favorite is the large outdoor shower, spacious enough for the whole family to rinse off after sandy beach adventures. During the warm summer months, guests are also welcome to enjoy fruit from the cottage’s generous fig tree, a little island bonus that adds to the charm of the property. Inside, the cottage is bright, sunny, and welcoming, with all the conveniences guests expect including large appliances, comfortable furnishings, and smart TVs for relaxing evenings indoors. Because the home is all on one level, it offers easy access and a comfortable layout for families, couples, and guests of all ages. With its unbeatable walkable location, vintage beach cottage charm, rare outdoor space, and unique movie history, PaparaSea offers the kind of relaxed island experience guests return for year after year. Whether you’re heading to the beach, walking to dinner, gathering around the fire pit, or enjoying the breezes from the porch, PaparaSea is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the best of Kure Beach. 🌊 ## Property amenities ### Beach -

It was a short walk to the beach and a lovely area. Quiet neighborhood with a great back yard to wind down in the evenings. The fire pit was large with good seating. The cottage is small (as described) and we fit there perfectly. The 2 screened porches made it feel bigger and allowed us to spread out. I was worried it would be awkward for so many adults to share one bathroom, but the outside shower helped a lot with that. We had a small problem that the host addressed quickly and was resolved to our satisfaction. I would recommend this place, especially if you are traveling with your dog. Ours loved it! Also felt this was one of the simplest check-in/out with VRBO. Thank you for that.Anxiously awaiting the movie Merv so I can enjoy familiar locations while watching. ##### Antoinette I.

The rocks out front and shower really presented problems for her. This is a wonderful place for families but if you have someone confined to a wheelchair it is a challenge. Erin is very helpful and this property has everything a family or just friends needs. Thank you Erin. ##### Lori B.

The beach was very close to the house. However when we arrived until the time we left there were 1000's of flies due to a fruit tree in the backyard right next to the patio so sitting outback was unpleasant. We did take our dogs with us and when I first got there I checked the perimeter of the fenced in yard to make sure no gaps where dogs could get out and it was perfect and 6ft tall. There were a few piles of dog poop in the yard upon arrival however me being a dog person No big deal. When I checked out the host messaged me within the hour to let me know that she was making a claim due to leaving some dog poop in the back yard and a dog poop smear on the couch cover and it smelling like dog poop and beer in the house. And states she will have to use a diffuser to get the smell out. I may have overlooked a pile or two unintentionally. The couch cover was the kind that is very easy to remove and wash. So I am unsure why that would be a big deal, but again if i would have seen it, I would have cleaned it up. Also, no-one in our group drank any beer in the house at all. We sat at the benches outside for the one night around the firepit and that is where we drank. So again I am unsure how the house would smell like beer. I did leave the remaining of the 12 pk in the fridge. I guess I assumed that the 200 cleaning fee would be to clean and wash the sheets and couch cover. Which mind you I did have one of my sheets over the couch cover. I did pay extra for the protection plan when booking with vrbo. So I am hopeful that a diffuser and the washing of bedding/ couch cover being washed will be covered, as I truly do not think that we caused any damage to the property. ##### michelle P.

But a nice yard for our pup and a firepit is exactly what we like to see. The fact that you can see the ocean from the parking area is a huge plus also. We spent the cool nights around the campfire and the 70 degree days walking all around the beach and carolina beach state park (highly recommend). Ate our anniversary dinner at Stoked which was awesome with a nice view! Location was great, backyard great, if it were a little warmer I'd have used the outdoor shower every day! ##### michael g.

The neighbors were a bit loud and didn’t seem too cleanly. We had to leave early and did attempt to cancel originally. Request was denied so we paid for a week we didn’t get. ##### Marissa C.

Excellent back yard fenced in for dogs. Thanks! ##### scott h.

Loved that is was dog friendly ! Huge fenced in backyard. Indoor shower was tiny but outdoor shower made up for it. When we arrived the trash cans outside were full and smelly - had to move farther away from the main door . Overall great stay though - loved all the ceiling fans in the rooms. ##### Priya J.
