Have lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants (we love the Provision House / on the water & very, very quaint) and shop in the specialty and antique shops located in the heart of the historic district.

Boating:

There are three areas to launch your boat on the Island. The North end which is about four miles from here has a free parking & launching area ( most popular) and another in the State Park with a launching fee. The South end has a public launch area for smaller craft or flat bottom boats (very shallow) which has access to the Cape Fear river.

Family Reunion

All 15 of us ages 5 to 72 (and 3 dogs) had plenty of comfortable room to spread out. We enjoyed making meals in the wonderful kitchen, and the children played in the pool. The beach was a short walk that we went to each day. Thank you for the great memories!

The photos are too modest

The photos don’t show how well outfitted and comfortable this house is. The view of the ocean is quite nice. And it’s only a 5-minute walk to the beach, 10-minute walk to the little town center. Our family of 5 + 2 was able to spread out and relax. Also, great and responsive service from the owner. Kure Beach itself is a hidden treasure, so is this house!

A treasure chest of good vibes

We loved our time at Kure beach. Erin was a gracious host, very attentive and quick to respond. The house was amazing and very accommodating for our family of 7 adults and 4 children. It was clean and stocked with paper supplies. We had plenty of room to gather as a family as well as individual space. We loved the vibe of the decor, a mixture of New Orleans French, and laid back beachy reflected in a collection of antique pieces and decorating. The lower level was perfect for daughters family of four plus two dogs. The other family members used the second floor rooms with 3 bathrooms! One bedroom we didn’t even need. There was more than enough kitchen supplies and plenty of pantry room. All the appliances worked well. We didn’t really use the pool much to our surprise. It needed to be skimmed when we arrived and the patio furniture wasn’t clean either. This was not a big deal. We hosed it down ourselves. Again, very accommodating outside shower and hose. The town is adorable. A hidden gem. Thank you again to our host for providing a memorable stay.

The Kure is the cure!

I have done some traveling and several VRBO stays. This home is by far the best place we have ever been. It feels like a home away from home. Extremely well equipped and perfect for doggo! The furnishings exceed anything I have experienced. Erin is a warm and welcoming host. We have many medical challenges in our family and this place was perfect for everything we needed. The location is honestly better than oceanfront. The block and a half walk to the access is perfect. It was the perfect walk for doggo and us. Sometimes oceanfront is too much in some ways. We always stay oceanfront but I enjoyed this location more than oceanfront. I would suggest you check it out and see if you agree! We are a family that is familiar with Wilmington, Carolina Beach and Kure. As far as we are concerned, these are the best family vacation beaches right now. The southern hospitality of the locals is charming and pleasant. There are plenty of opportunities for whatever floats your boat. We chose a surfing lesson and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The surf and sand encountered at these beaches is beautiful and refreshing for the soul. Can't say enough good things about The Kure and the accessible and most cordial host. Don't delay to book a stay! You will be happy you did!

KURE FUN

Lovely spacious home. Tastefully decorated and a beachy feel. Great for a large family. we only had 6 there but it worked. Pool was cold so we didnt use it at all. Very well stocked with everything you need for cooking and comfort. Some of the furniture needs a good cleaning. beds were very comfortable. Has an elevator that got stuck a few times but able to figure it out. Front door had a lock that was finicky but was able to figure that out too. We informed the owners that the pool turned cloudy for reason unknown. Also reported to them a stained mattress in the Master. Overall a great relaxing stay.

Lovely week at the beach with extended family!

Very clean, comfortable house. We loved the kids area and that they could be loud away from the family space! Short walk to beach and short drive to really good restaurants! Some of the appliances were tricky to figure out and there was a leak in one of the showers that wasn't able to be fixed while there which was challenging with the size of our group, but the Owner was trying to get it fixed but unfortunately wasn't able to while there . Overalll-we had a great week!

About the host

Hosted by Erin Maher

Host profile image
We moved here from Northern Virginia to raise our children in a smaller town, while being close to the ocean. Kure Beach exceeded our expectations and we decided to stay here and build a home where we could raise our family and run our promotional product business together from home. We became interested in buying properties, and have 2 condos in Carolina Beach, along with a cottage in Kure Beach and these are also on VRBO. #470721 and #866560. We could not be more excited about renting our home out this year.

Why they chose this property

We chose this location to be away from the crowds, in a quiet year-round resident non-HOA neighborhood, with views of the Ocean.

What makes this property unique

Parking and access to the beach are some of the most unique attributes of the neighborhood. The convenient store is less than 3 blocks away, and just 2 blocks away is a tennis court, dog park, Kids Park, and a Disc Golf Course. There are several churches, great restaurants and an Arcade at the piear. The Pavilion at the Pier features live music, Farmer's Market, and daily activities. We are located less than 2 miles from Ft.Fisher Ferry, Museum, and NC Aquarium. What more could you ask for?
