The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful on the southern end, but still super close to all the fun spots like the Kure Beach Pier and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk. The house itself is nice with stunning ocean views from almost every room.

The kitchen had everything we needed.Communication with the host was seamless, and you can really tell they put a lot of love into this place.
