It was a short walk to the beach and a lovely area. Quiet neighborhood with a great back yard to wind down in the evenings. The fire pit was large with good seating. The cottage is small (as described) and we fit there perfectly. The 2 screened porches made it feel bigger and allowed us to spread out. I was worried it would be awkward for so many adults to share one bathroom, but the outside shower helped a lot with that. We had a small problem that the host addressed quickly and was resolved to our satisfaction. I would recommend this place, especially if you are traveling with your dog. Ours loved it! Also felt this was one of the simplest check-in/out with VRBO. Thank you for that.Anxiously awaiting the movie Merv so I can enjoy familiar locations while watching. ##### Antoinette I.

But a nice yard for our pup and a firepit is exactly what we like to see. The fact that you can see the ocean from the parking area is a huge plus also. We spent the cool nights around the campfire and the 70 degree days walking all around the beach and carolina beach state park (highly recommend). Ate our anniversary dinner at Stoked which was awesome with a nice view! Location was great, backyard great, if it were a little warmer I'd have used the outdoor shower every day! ##### michael g.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### michelle P. Aug 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kure beach We had a good time. The beach was very close to the house. However when we arrived until the time we left there were 1000's of flies due to a fruit tree in the backyard right next to the patio so sitting outback was unpleasant. We did take our dogs with us and when I first got there I checked the perimeter of the fenced in yard to make sure no gaps where dogs could get out and it was perfect and 6ft tall. There were a few piles of dog poop in the yard upon arrival however me being a dog person No big deal. When I checked out the host messaged me within the hour to let me know that she was making a claim due to leaving some dog poop in the back yard and a dog poop smear on the couch cover and it smelling like dog poop and beer in the house. And states she will have to use a diffuser to get the smell out. I may have overlooked a pile or two unintentionally. The couch cover was the kind that is very easy to remove and wash. So I am unsure why that would be a big deal, but again if i would have seen it, I would have cleaned it up. Also, no-one in our group drank any beer in the house at all. We sat at the benches outside for the one night around the firepit and that is where we drank. So again I am unsure how the house would smell like beer. I did leave the remaining of the 12 pk in the fridge. I guess I assumed that the 200 cleaning fee would be to clean and wash the sheets and couch cover. Which mind you I did have one of my sheets over the couch cover. I did pay extra for the protection plan when booking with vrbo. So I am hopeful that a diffuser and the washing of bedding/ couch cover being washed will be covered, as I truly do not think that we caused any damage to the property. ##### michelle P.

Erin was a text away and we were able to check in early, which was really nice. The big fenced backyard was perfect for the kids and our dog. The grill and firepit was stocked, which was an unexpected perk! Other perks included a beach canopy and wagon (don't bother with umbrellas on windy days!), well-stocked kitchen and basic spices, screened porches, and the proximity to restaurants and the beach. The space is perfect for a group of 4-5 inside due to the small shared space and single bathroom, but it suited us well. The beach is not dog-friendly during summer months, but Freeman Park beach is a short drive and welcomes dogs. We look forward to staying at Erin's cottage again! ##### Andrea S.
