Kure Beach - Two Day Stay in Ocean Front Condo
The property met our expectations very well. The unit had a clean look and the layout was very nice. The patio facing the ocean was the hit of the weekend. Besides giving us a great, relaxing view of the beach, we had a treat in seeing a multitude of pelicans diving from great heights into the ocean in search of fish. The grounds were well kept and not crowded at all. Thanks for a special weekend.

Great location
If you enjoy getting away from it all, great beaches, great parks, biking, pier fishing, and discovering interesting places to shop and eat, I can’t recommend Kure Beach/Fort Fisher more. And Ocean Dunes is the best place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was spacious, clean, and well appointed. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

Outstanding Property Manager!!
Wow - the property manager, Carolina Retreats Vacations | Pleasure Island, took really great care of us. We experienced a hiccup that was completely out of anyone's control and they were fast to act and incredibly caring. Highly recommend!

Time at the beach
The location of the property is great. It was quite hard to locate the building and then the condo but once we found it we were thrilled with the view. There were several minor things that annoyed us which I won’t bother mentioning but the main thing is the place needed a DEEP cleaning….under furniture, along baseboards, the air intake, etc. for a rental unit for 3 nights it was ok. We didn’t use the pools, they weren’t convenient but the beach was right where promiandceasy to access.

Great property - amazing service
The property is fantastic. Well appointed and in an amazing location. Perhaps even more impressive was the service. We got caught in the gas shortage and the property managers helped us to extend our stay (thank goodness the unit was available for a few more days). Even more impressive, the staff at Carolina Retreats called us to let us know when a gas station nearby had fuel before it showed up on any of the apps we were tracking. They were friendly and thoughtful throughout.
