About this property

Beach Cottage w/ Private Home Gym & E-Bikes. Easy Walk to Beach & Pier

Thank you for considering Kure Beach Escape. This may be the PERFECT PLACE for you if:

• You want a PRIVATE gym that comes with (2) Peloton bikes & memberships included
• You enjoy being close to the beach
• You want a house to yourself but don’t need a mansion and want to avoid a condo


For the best possible experience, please read the full description as it contains many important notes to understand before booking. We want to make sure that our home is right for you!

***Newly Added E-Bikes for Rent with our property! More convenient and affordable than anywhere else on the island! Reach out for more details!***

We purchased this property in November 2021 since we wanted a place at the beach for our family to relax. We wanted to create a place at the beach that was one of a kind, so what better way than adding in a home gym. Now we want to share our one of a kind experience with others. With that being said here are some things to consider when booking our property:

This property does have a private home gym in a separate building in the backyard. Although it is not attached directly to the house it is a short 20 ft walk away and we actually feel this is better because you can play your fitness music while working out without disturbing the people hanging out inside the main house. This private home gym has what you need to get a quality workout.

Gym Equipment Includes:

o Pelotons (2) – With active memberships (or login with your own) so you can enjoy their full range of classes
o Dumbbells (5-50 lbs) – Rubber hex dumbbells that can be used for various exercises
o Adjustable Bench – this bench inclines and declines and also has a foot hold
o Foam Rollers (2)
o Ab Roller Wheel (1)
o Resistance Bands (10-50 lbs)
o Jump Ropes (2)
o Large Mirrors
o Flat Screen TV – equipped with a Roku to stream any of your video subscription services to watch workout videos or your favorite shows

- We want your stay to be as perfect as possible, so we don’t want to set any false expectations. The kitchen doesn’t have a dishwasher given the size of the property. There also is not a typical kitchen oven. There is a convection oven that can be used to baking small dishes as well as microwaving items. Don’t worry there is a stove top and we have plenty of kitchenware but we also have a grill at the property to give you an extra place to cook your favorite meals. It is also equipped with a blender, toaster, drip coffee maker and the typical cooking essentials as well as dishes and silverware.

- The property is located in Kure Beach which is the sister beach to Carolina Beach. We enjoy Kure Beach since it is a bit more lowkey and not as busy as Carolina Beach. This gives us the ability to relax and enjoy the area without the commotion of some of the other beaches. There are some shops and restaurants right near by but if you are looking for the more typical touristy type of beach no need to worry as Carolina Beach is just a 5-minute drive away.

- The house is designed for 2 but can sleep 3 if someone doesn’t mind sleeping on a couch. The dining room table has seating for 4 and there is also an outdoor table that has seating for 4, so there is plenty of options and space for when you want to enjoy a meal.

- We have tried to make this home as comfortable as possible for your stay and have implemented amenities to help with that. The main house and gym are both temperature controlled, but they are controlled separately so that you can adjust them individually to your liking. Both the gym and the main house have flat screen TVs equipped with Rokus so that you can login to your favorite streaming services. The TV in the house also gets the local channels so that you can watch your daily programs or sports, depending on the time of year.

Provide for your stay are:
Towels
Sheets & Blankets
Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Wash
Dishwashing Liquid
Laundry Detergent
Propane
Hairdryer

We do allow pets at the property. There is a one time non-refundable pet-fee of $100 and we allow up to a max of 2 dogs.

All our guests have access to several of our mobile phones for quick and easy access to us. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do and please don’t hesitate to ask us any questions, advice, or suggestions.

Home Away From Home

Great location, just a short walk to the beach. Cozy cottage with a gym out back in a small building just a few feet away! It needs a little tender loving care with cleaning! Besides that it was a great place to stay.

Great place to stay

The location was perfect, walk to the beach, store, restaurant's and Kure beach pier. House was small, but perfect for us. Just a few minor things to repair but nothing that was an issue. Everything was as advertised and it was neat and clean.

Weekend getaway

My husband and I just wanted a nice quiet weekend away. Well little did we know there was a tropical depression sitting out there waiting to come in to visit us lol. But I want you to know we never lost power, We were not located in any flood area. And Joe stayed in complete contact with us during this time making sure that we were OK and all our needs were taken care of. I would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing

Didn’t realize cottage was so close to main road so lots of noise in the area, ceiling fan in bedroom was noisy, kitchen utensils could use replacing and sliding closet doors in bedroom were falling off the tracking. But space was nice, grill works well and walk to beach very close!!

Great place to stay!

This was the second year in a row we stayed at this house, and we plan to keep coming back. My wife and I had a great time. The house was clean and comfortable. Its a VERY short walk to the Kure beach pier. We made use of the beach access and reaturaunts that were so close so we didnt have to drive anywhere. Great neighborhood and sidewalks for walking our dogs. Such a relaxing stay.
