Truly Ocean Front

This property is right on the water, just as pictured. The condo was clean and met all of our needs. The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware/dishes that we needed. The location was close to shops and restaurants. The property manager did a great job of keeping us informed by text. Great vacation spot!

Great Location

Great location and view. A/C lost Freon but it was fixed right away within an hour by the real estate after I reported it. It is a dated unit but other than the ac every thing was fine. I’m sure it will be getting a remodel soon. FYI parking a suburban under the house was too tight for my comfort so we just parked on the pad. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great Visit

We loved the area and the location of the property. We were unable to use the washer and dryer because it got rust on our clothes when we used it. Washer and Dryers are very important to us when we are at the beach, so that was not great. We loved the place and the location. This was our first trip to Kure Beach and we definitely want to come back. Our condo was nice but dated, but you could not beat the location and the views and the deck. The couch was very uncomfortable. We loved the beach!

loved being oceanfront (without dunes)

Being right ON the ocean was breathtaking, peaceful, energizing and perfect, with no dunes blocking the view (& worth the three flight climb each time, up & down wooden stairs). The furniture & furnishings (kitchenware, etc.) were comfortable and substantial - we especially loved the blue & white wooden deck chairs.

It had a nice view!

It was a little much lugging everything up to the third floor. If there was young people to help, that would of helped. The parking spot was difficult to get in and out of, because of the way it was situated.

Kure beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spectacular panoramic view from our outside deck. Ferry ride to Southport was great where we had a very good lunch at Moore Oyster Bar with ice cream at the Marketplace. Horse and carriage ride was a wise choice to see downtown Wilmington. At Kure Beach, Jack Mackerel’s and Freddie’s were our 2 favorite restaurants near the pier.

Only disappointment was that the pool, hot tub and workout room was closed due to renovation.

Beautiful view/Super clean

This condo might be a bit older but super clean and had no moldy smells that we have had at other condos in the past. The view was immaculate, you feel like you are sitting right on the beach. We also got to see the coquina at low tide and it was beautiful. Only thing that happened to us (at no fault of the owner) was having to take another access to the beach on the other end of the building. A storm had knocked down the closest one right beside us that also had the shower for washing off our feet. But we made due found a mop bucket filled it with water put it on front porch to take care of our Sandy feet before entering. Having starter paper towels and esp TP plus sheets and towels included is a bonus. I highly recommend Ocean paradise. **one suggestion to the owner. It would be nice to have a couple bar height type chairs such as Adirondack style on the deck to be able to see the view above the deck rails but only a suggestion. Still fantastic view.

If you want to be on the ocean - this is it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Ocean Paradise and again Bryant Real Estate made checking in and out very easy and efficient. They were easy to get in touch with during business hours. It rained almost the entire time that we were there, but we loved watching the storms and rain on the ocean from our balcony - very beautiful and dramatic. We did get a few strolls on the beach between rains. We went to Carolina Beach for dinner on 2 evenings, because the seafood restaurant that we enjoyed before was closed. Even with the rain and closed restaurant, we totally enjoyed being there. It was actually pretty nice to have a different experience. We visited the aquarium on the rainiest day, and enjoyed shopping in Wilmington on the day that we left. The condo was pretty comfortable, even though I could tell that a whole summer's worth of visitors had stayed there since our 1st stay. It was fairly clean, but the carpet could use a shampooing, and the scent in the condo wasn't as fresh. The kitchen was clean and well appointed, and the linens were clean and bagged. All in all, a good getaway for us.

Ocean Paradise - Fantastic Location and Accommodations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was perfect for us, a family of 5 that included my elderly mother, a brother visiting from out of state, and a 10 year old. The space was perfect for our sleeping arrangements, hanging in the living room together, and playing games in the evenings.The view was the best! This was important for us since my mom was going to spend most of the week on the balcony. We enjoyed the beach access being right beside us, the pool being there, and the indoor pool across the street. We enjoyed that we were further down Fort Fisher Blvd away from traffic and crowds. It was nice to drive into Kure Beach or Carolina Beach to grab dinner or do things, but nice to be back to the quiet afterward. We loved being so close to the aquarium and Fort Fisher! Those were fun for us to visit with the 10 year old!Ocean Paradise is definitely on our list to visit again! We love Kure Beach and we loved this spot! We will be back!!!

Kure Beach

This property is old and outdated. View is great if you don't mind the roaches. Place could have been cleaner when we arrived . Coffee maker still had coffee. Hair ball in bathtub clogged the drain. The rec center they advertised is a waste. Hot tub under renovation and pool was dirty. For the amount of money we paid the place should have been spectacular. Put aside all that view was great. Right on the beach.

First Kure Beach Trip was Perfect!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo view was absolutely beautiful. We were right on the ocean with clear views of the gorgeous ocean. We could hear the waves and see the views throughout the whole condo. The condo was clean and spacious enough for our family of 5. We recommend you bring your own garbage bags, toilet paper and paper towels because the unit only has one of these things which was not enough. We easily were able to get to the store close by and grab them though. This was a great stay and we will be back next year!

Tranquil Ocean/Beach Getaway

I chose this vacation condo because it was at the south end of Kure Beach, which I thought would be more private and peaceful. I was right! We were lucky enough to be there for the full April moon, which was so magical, shining across the ocean and right in through the sliding glass doors! We would leave the doors slightly open to hear the ocean all night (great for sleeping). We walked the 1 1/2 mile to the pier, enjoyed the pier shop/arcade and walked back. Great exercise in sand. The next day we walked to Fort Fisher and visited the museum. There are several good restaurants near by, and several in Carolina Beach as well. It was a wonderful mini-vacation (3 nights/4 days)! The condo was very clean, with all amenities - coffee maker/all working kitchen appliances, comfortable furniture and beds, sheets and towels freshly laundered and packaged. It was quiet, with a beautiful view (the ocean almost came right up to the condo underneath the balcony at high tide), and the large balcony was so nice! The rental agency was accommodating and made it so easy to check in and out. A sweet lady met me on the porch of the rental office with all of my paperwork. We actually could have had total access to the recreation center across the street from the condo, but the weather was so perfect we spent the whole time on the balcony or on the beach. Thank you to the owners and Bryant Real Estate for providing such a nice retreat from everyday life!
