Your Kure Beach House in Kure Beach

A rental house that felt like my own

In my opinion, the ultimate indicator for whether or not you've had a great stay at a rented beach house is when you begin to think of the beach house as "MY beach house."

Not at one time during our week-long stay were we reminded that our accommodations were rented. From the thoughtfully selected furnishings to the collection of DVDs stored beneath the enormous flat screen, everything here is designed to feel like home (that just happens to be on a gorgeous stretch of beach.) My family settled in immediately, finding every comfort readily available: coffee maker, boogie boards, toiletries, beach chairs, wine glasses, televisions, video game consoles, and an impressive number of cotton beach towels. We were not left wanting.

Is the house clean? Fastidiously so. Is it spacious? The house is endless with well-appointed bedrooms and seating areas. Is it ideally located? We were within reasonable walking distance to everything Kure Beach offers – dining, the pier, the aquarium, even the Fort Fisher Civil War museum. (All of which are excellent diversions!)

If you're plotting an escape to Kure Beach, I can't recommend this house with more enthusiasm. Though my family and I had planned a number of excursions away from the beach, we remained cloistered in this magnificent house, with the Atlantic ocean and the charm of Kure Beach serving as entertainment. My only complaint is that we eventually had to leave.

At the end of the stay, as my family dragged themselves out the door and into the car, I reflect on how much I was going to miss this beach house.

MY beach house.

Everything we needed and more

Review submitted: January 5, 2013   Date of arrival: December 26, 2012

We had a wonderful time at Your Beach House. Everything we needed, and more, was there. We used the bicycles, the fishing poles, and the beach toys. And what a pleasant surprise to find so many useful items in the kitchen - spices, oils, flour, plenty of dish soap, dishwasher detergent, etc., not to mention the very nice and complete assortment of pots and pans and dishes. The whole house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and the bedrooms were complete with comfortable beds and all the linens needed. Eight of us enjoyed the house with no crowding. We frequently commented on how thoughtful you were to supply all the necessities that vacationers would want.

Although the weather was a bit chilly for sitting on the deck, we think that the table and the comfortable furniture you've provided are a big plus. Hopefully we can return someday to log some good "deck sitting" time! I have already recommended your house to several of my friends. Thank you for everything.

Perfect Family Vacation

We were fortunate enough to have a week in Kure beach with our family and our best friends family the week after Labor Day. The weather was perfect, and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. There really wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t already there: a fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, beach towels, tv/dvd players in every room, bicycles, beach toys for the kids, beach chairs, umbrellas, and board games. Not only that, but I even got to embarrass myself in an attempt to surf. Also, the beach house is so close to some great local attractions of Britts Doughnuts, the Acquarium, local ice cream shops, and the Kure Beach Pier. Some of my favorite memories of the week include: watching the kids morning dash to the beach, listening to the ocean while going to sleep, eating dinner with our families on the deck, and my personal favorite of taking a nap in the hammock every afternoon.
The entire week gave us all a chance to step back from our busy lives, and I am counting the days till we go back again next year.
