Welcome to Oceanside Oasis, a Kure Beachfront Condo with a view you will love!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was beautifully located on the beachfront. The covered balcony was ideal when the weather was not. Beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. One thing to note is you’re required to walk up stairs, there is no elevator, this only is worth mentioning if you have someone who is challenged to do so. We had originally planned to go out to dinner one evening, but once we got there, we never left! It definitely felt like home right away. The hosts were very available and responsive. We would repeat a trip here for sure."
