It fit our family's needs beyond perfectly and we will definitely be returning. The washer/dryer helped immensely as we were able to pack less for our three-year-old and ourselves. The proximity to the ocean made it extremely easy to come on and off the beach as needed. The pool right behind the property was our daughter's favorite part.

Being on the ground floor is a plus for us. The decor, cleanliness and overall feel of the place is amazing. Access to the beach and the pool is a very short walk. Julie is amazing. She answered all of our questions and personalizes it just for you. Our 2nd of many trips to her place. ##### Becky D.

We kept looking for the condo but didn't realize that the front door wasn't facing the road but instead on the side next to the neighbor. After that everything was a breeze. It has everything you need, just bring your food and settle in. The Southport ferry is just 1 mile up the road and down the road a few miles is a really good restaurant, Jack Michaels. The condo is at the very end of the housing area and has excellent hiking and biking trails so plan accordingly. I would stay there again and I'm very picky. ##### Gloria H. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We have stayed at many different condos at different beaches over the years, and this may just be the best one. We usually try a different beach each year, but this one might become our go to. Julie is the best host I have ever dealt with. So quick to respond to any question, not to mention, anything you may need during your stay is already provided. The place was clean, very nice, and right on the beach, which is a must for me. I fell in love with the small town feel of Kure Beach since we really don't care for the crowds. I really don't have anything bad to say about it. Go there! I'm hoping it's available when we're ready to go back to the beach. I really can't gush about Julie enough either, such a pleasure. ##### Brandon Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather C. Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer Vacation 2024 This property is exactly as described. Super clean. Literally a stones throw to the beach - easy getting our things on and off the beach - would be great for families with littles or older family members (on ground floor). The kitchen is well fitted, TV in living room and bedroom for late night winding down. It was just my husband and I, but we even made use of the sand bucket in the well stocked beach closet. we had no issues and did not need to contact the owner, but when we left she thanked us for our stay and wished us a safe trip - I feel if we had needed to contact her, she would have been prompt. It was the first time we have been to Kure Beach and we loved the area, a trip to Southport via the ferry is a MUST. Next time we will plan our stay a little better as we didn't get to visit long, but we loved our stay and are already planning a second trip. ##### Heather C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsea T. May 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely perfect! This property checked all the boxes. I (32f) and my friend (65f) had an absolutely perfect time. The pool not only is stunning and very clean, but the deck offers great views of the ocean without having to walk in the sand. The beach is literally steps away. We spent way too much time searching all of the awesome shells and enjoying the very private area. The unit was perfect. Updated appliances, tons of storage and sleeping areas, a wonderful patio that stepped out to offer direct access to the pool and ocean. Views of the ocean from the living room, having all of the appliances available, a grill, chairs for the beach as well as boogie boards, books to read, extra blankets and pillows, all of these things made our trip that much more enjoyable. The aquarium was just down the street as well, along with beautiful walking paths with oceanfront views. The bathroom was large and very clean, the shower was updated and refreshing after a day in the sun. Nice bars and restaurants are right down the strip, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly. 10/10 would absolutely stay again. ##### Chelsea T.

The toddler fit easily in his pack n play in the bedroom with us. The other kids slept very comfortably in the bunk beds (I wanted to steal their beds because those new mattresses on the bunks were so comfortable - took a wonderful nap in the bottom bunk myself one day). The newly renovated bathroom was very nice. The shower is large and water was hot. The AC kept the condo perfectly cold. We ate most of our meals at the condo, even used the outdoor grill one night. This unit was so easy being on the first floor, the kids enjoyed playing in the sand right outside the patio. The beach and pool were steps away, and neither ever felt crowded. The pool was perfect for our kids, going from 3 ft to 5 ft. The beach was not very “big” as in you don’t have to walk across a mile of hot sand to get to the water. And the waves were fairly gentle and the sand not too rocky or full of shells. Plenty of crabs to hunt at night with a flashlight. We visited the USS North Carolina battleship one day, and the aquarium another day. The aquarium is on the smaller side, we only spent less than two hours there but it is nice for getting out of the sun. If we’d had more days we would’ve gone into Southport for a day. Overall, South Star met all of our needs for a wonderful vacation. Thank you for sharing your condo with us! ##### Jessica B.

I highly recommend; everything we could need to cook was in the kitchen. It was very clean! We could hear and see the ocean right from the condo. ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna C.
