Great location in Kure Beach. Beach access is so close and shops are walkable! It’s a nice place for families with young kids. Charlie is very responsive to any questions or situations which is important in my book!! Recommend the Aquarium and the Ferry ride from Ft Fisher to Southport.

Relaxing Home
Home was in a great location, short 2 min walk to Kure pier. The home was equipped with everything needed and especially beach accessories of chairs, umbrellas, wagon, cooler, boogie boards and more. The home was clean and communication with the owner was top notch. Absolutely no problems or concerns while we were there. We were a family of 10 and had plenty of room and more for everyone. Just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend and will be staying again!

Perfect Destination for a Family Reunion!!
This beach house gem was just what our family of 16 needed for a reunion to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary! The accommodations were spot on, from the rooms, living space, and amenities, along with the distance to the beach, which was a simple and easy walk. Restaurants and shopping spots right by the pier and Carolina Beach options gave an added touch to enjoying the local area.Charlie was an excellent host and provided thorough details about checking in and out and what to expect with our stay. His support was appreciated and he was easy to reach out to and provided a rapid response.Thank you for a perfect extended weekend getaway to the NC coast!!

Kure Beach Gem!
A definite 10 out of 10! From the booking to the last minute of our stay, it was amazing! The host is wonderful and must be the nicest person ever. He responds within the hour (even less) of your inquiry. The house is super clean. The private elevator is an added bonus and my mother who uses a walker was very pleased. She was also grateful for the walk in shower. The view on the balcony is spectacular. The owners of this property truly thought of the people who will be staying here. Like we are their family. Very stressed free stay and we will definitely come back, hopefully make it a tradition! Thank you from my entire family!

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our time at Charlie's place! It is very close to the beach, which made the back and forth with kids very easy. The townhouse is very big, and comes equipped with pretty much anything you need for the beach, so leave the chairs and boogie boards at home!
We had some issues with the cleanliness upon arrival, but Charlie was very accomodating and responded right away.
It was our family's 2nd time in Kure and we would likely stay hwre agin when we come back.

This place was great. Check-in/out was SUPER EASY. Comms with the host were quick and helpful. The house was plenty big with all the amenities needed, including beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, etc! Literally everything you could need is provided. It doesn’t get any easier. The location is a very short walk to the beach. It is also very close to the pier for fishing and ice cream and wonderful sunrise/sunset walks. The house was clean and there are plenty of dishes and pots and pans for cooking and eating. Dont hesitate to book. Charlie, your host, was amazing as well. Very attentive and quick to address ANYTHING that might make your trip more enjoyable or convenient. Great stay!

We loved our stay. The layout of the house allowed for us to spend time together but also have separate time to relax. This house is perfectly stocked, right down to Tupperware, which I was so happy about, I usually bring my own and two refrigerators !! Everything you could need for the beach , it's there, chairs, sand toys, etc. I had a question about parking at 1:30AM. I message the host, expecting an answer in the morning, no she responded immediately, at 1:30 AM. She said she available 24/7 and she means it! Our family had a great time! Thank you 😊

Awesome townhouse for a big family gathering!
We had my sister in law’s 50th birthday get together at this house. It was a great parade for all to hang out and have plenty of space to spread out. Which was good for the many teenagers around. The house is very clean and I had great communication with the owner. He was very easy to deal with and always quick to respond to any questions I had about the property during planning. The location was awesome. It’s a really lovely beach with a cool boardwalk and the road that separates the house from the beach was pretty quiet but fun to people watch from the front porch area. Overall, we really had a great time at the property and would recommend highly.

Great house, great host
Charlie was great to work with. Very responsive to any questions from the moment I booked the house to after check out. We had a clogged sink in one of the bathrooms and he had a plumber ready to come the same day.
The house is a duplex which we weren't aware of, but it wasn't a problem. The house was perfect for our group of 13. Everyone had space to get away from each other when needed. The dining room table was prefect for family game nights. The beds were comfortable. The elevator was an excellent bonus. The fully stocked garage with beach chairs, boogie boards, and a wagon was a nice addition.
