Off season renters are treated like second class persons

Building looks shabby and run down. The slider were so dirty you couldn't see out. I ended up washing windows. No screens on the sliders. Deck table and chairs were filthy and cracked. Terrible lighting throughout unit. Guest bedroom beds were extremely uncomfortable. Terrible pillows. Guest bathroom had blood stain on shower curtain. Only one hairdryer for two bathrooms. No waste paper basket in guest bedroom. Guest bathroom mirror has pitted brown spots and looks disgusting. Kitchen flatware could have more pieces. No tea kettle. Knives are dull. No salad bowl. Would never rent or recommend this unit.

Great Family Vacation spot

Had a fantastic family vacation with two teenage daughters. Spent countless hours enjoying the ocean and beach, with very easy access to the condo for occasional breaks/lunch. Enjoyed the pools as well (both outdoor and indoor). No complaints about the condo! Very much appreciated the location - it offered a bit of quiet, but was close enough to the main Kure beach "downtown" area. Also an easy drive to Wilmington area.

Beautiful beach setting

We really enjoyed being right on the beach - waking up each morning to the sound and sight of waves. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and was very comfortable. Some of the extras like games and beach chairs were very much appreciated.

Place exactly as pictured!

We loved our stay at Kure beach! Kure beach was a sleepy beach town with amazing restaurants and close enough to Carolina beach if you wanted more action. The place was right on the sand with beautiful views of the ocean and sunrises! The indoor pool was awesome when we wanted to cool down but needed a break from the sun. My only negatives were the bedroom slider door to the deck was difficult to open and the washer and dryer (which were awesome to have and easy to use) had a very small capacity, necessitating multiple loads. We did have one small issue during our stay and the management was extremely responsive and fixed it asap. Overall fantastic place and we would stay there again!

Everything was great! Wish there was blackout curtains in master bedroom. As soon as the sun started to come up I woke up. To much sunlight in the bedroom. Everything was great, clean and the best part is the deck and beach.
