“South Star" ocean front, sleeps 6, inground pool on ocean! August price drop!!!

We would love to have your next vacation be at the South Star. This first floor, end unit offers spectacular ocean views and is just steps to the pool or beach, take your pick!

***New!!***
January 2024, brand new bathroom, fully remodeled, new kitchen floor & new memory foam twin mattresses in the crews' quarters! In the summer of 2023, we welcomed a new AC unit ensuring your summer nights are not hot and humid! As of March 2022, all appliances at the south star were upgraded! Fridge, dishwasher, stove, washer and dryer!!!
As for the rest, it’s all amazing, read on for the details!

The unit offers one bedroom with a queen bed, two "crews' quarters" twin bunk beds built into the hall (bed safety rails provided for top at no up-charge) and a pull-out sleeper sofa in the family room as well as power recliner.

The family room has dual sliding doors leading out to the patio where you can sit and relax while looking at the ocean. Just past your patio is one of three grilling stations and to your right the pool.

The bathroom has a walk-in tile shower as well as a washer and dryer.

The South Star is deep cleaned after each stay. This includes all bed coverings, pillow covers, couch cover and tablecloth being washed and changed after each stay.

The unit has a dedicated parking space just steps from the front door making your move in a breeze.

The patio has direct ocean views, and the South Star is part of the last residential condos on pleasure island which provides easy access to walking and biking trails through Fort Fisher and the historic preservations and civil war museums.

Need a day out of the sun? Just take a short drive to the aquarium! This location also makes taking advantage of the ferry system to Southport a breeze!

It is important to me that your time at the South Star is AMAZING! if you have any questions or requests please do not hesitate to reach out! Thank you for considering and hopefully booking the South Star for you next vacation! -Julie

Relaxing

This was our 2nd stay at the South Star. We absolutely love this Condo. 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.

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.

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.

Beach week

My family of 5 stayed here for a week. We enjoyed the area and we liked the apartment. It was big enough. The appliances were new and the space was fine. However, the complex has a massive roach problem. We did see a few in our apartment, and outside on the patio they would be streaming after dark. Not the owner's fault, but you should know. I was afraid we'd bring them home in our stuff. One other issue was the apartment stays very damp. So towels never dry and your skin always feels wet. They need a dehumidifier or something attached to the AC system, I guess. The big bed was fine, but the twin beds weren't comfortable and the sofa bed was terrible. This may influence your choices if you are traveling with anyone over 40 pounds. Beach vacations have gotten ridiculously expensive, so this was a good option for the money. Ultimately, we would never stay here again.

Great place!

This place was exactly as described. Host was very responsive and the unit was very clean. Steps away from beach and pool access. Town is quiet which we loved. The beach is easily accessible but not large due to erosion. Plenty of beach space overall. Would definitely return! Perfect for small family and couples.

Julie was the perfect host! The ocean view was very nice and having the beach access a few steps away made it much easier to come and go. The pool is also right outside the condo.
