Nice!

The house and yard were wonderful! Everything was clean and very well stocked. The outdoor shower was a big plus. The dogs loved the yard and the bed on the porch! I would definitely stay here again.

Short Vaca

We chose the hottest weekend of the year to get away to Kure beach but we stayed in the coolest old style beach house! Modernized in all the right ways, we loved staying here. Bess very comfy, great private backyard, comfortable screened porches and a couple minutes walk to the prettiest of beaches. We will definitely stay here again

Great Location

We had a great trip down to Kure Beach! The house is very small, but the location is awesome. And having the fenced yard was perfect.

Cute House!

Couple with small dog enjoyed our stay! You could hear the waves and being off season was very quiet. Enjoyed sitting on front porch people watching. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Ate an amazing meal at Freddie’s.

Sweet cottage near the sea

We celebrated 2 birthdays and a half birthday while there. 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.

Great stay

My husband and I had a very nice stay at this cottage this past week. We loved the close proximity to the beach, as well as the fully fenced-in back yard, which worked well for our 2 senior dogs. We also really enjoyed the fire pit, and we used it several times during our stay. The owners were incredibly nice and very prompt to answer any questions that we had during the stay. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Cutest Pink Beach House

Perfect location for a family with kids, short walk to the beach, stores, and restaurants. Plenty of room to park and the outdoor shower is a game changer!! Lots of space in the backyard for the pup. The screened porches allowed us to be outdoors most of the time without BUGS! Highly recommend.

A little piece of heaven

Adorable cottage. Bedrooms are larger than I would have expected. Yard is gorgeous. Location fantastic. The indoor shower is a bit quirky, though.

Perfect Kure Beach house

We had an excellent stay at Erin’s home! The location is ideal - just a block from the beach and a short 4 minute walk to the Kure Beach pier. We brought our dogs to the beach and Erin’s place is perfect for traveling with dogs - great outdoor yard, puppy-proofed interior. The home is comfortable and has all the essentials you’ll need for a beach trip. We would love to stay here in the future and highly recommend this home!

Lovely little place

I really enjoyed this property but I took my 82 year old mother. The rocks out front and shower really presented problems for her. This is a wonderful place for families but if you have someone confined to a wheelchair it is a challenge. Erin is very helpful and this property has everything a family or just friends needs. Thank you Erin.

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.

Backyard made it perfect

Our anniversary is the end of October so if we choose a beach getaway a pool really isn't up there on the priority list. 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!

Our stay

The accommodations were good and it is close to the beach. The neighbors were a bit loud and didn’t seem too cleanly. We had to leave early and did attempt to cancel originally. Request was denied so we paid for a week we didn’t get.

Great location

This house was only a couple mins away from the beach- awesome location ! Loved that is was dog friendly ! Huge fenced in backyard. Indoor shower was tiny but outdoor shower made up for it. When we arrived the trash cans outside were full and smelly - had to move farther away from the main door . Overall great stay though - loved all the ceiling fans in the rooms.
