Phenomenal last-minute getaway to Mike’s cottage in Kure Beach. He was exceptionally engaged and accommodated the late add of our dog, which made for a sweet end-of-summer event for our family. We had 5 total, with two sleeping on the pull out in the den/entertaining area. Plenty of room, but a bit uncomfortable — recommend bringing a comforter and additional bed topper. The bedrooms were perfect and the kitchen was well appointed — everything we needed! The short walk to the beach, fishing pier, and local restaurants meant we didn’t use our car for the whole weekend! Ideal spot!! Overall, awesome location, exceptional customer service, and sweet cottage for a family getaway.

Wonderful property! House and pictures are exactly as listed. Beds are comfy and shower has amazing water pressure. Bed sheets are soft and an abundance of towels are provided. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to navigate. We enjoyed preparing multiple meals as a family using the stove and the grill. We loved all of the amenities. It is obvious the amount of care and consideration the owner has put into this cottage. The kids and adults all loved the outdoor shower and the kids enjoyed the novelty of using it. There is a large grassy parking area super close with pet waste pickup station. Beach access is just steps away. Coffee shop, pier, dining, and well stocked convenience store are all walkable distance and easy to access. Highly recommend the coffee shop and bagel shop. Owners provide good local information and home information in a printed document on the fridge. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, the NC Aquarium, the 4x4 beach at Fort Fisher, the Fort Fisher Museum, and the Boardwalk at Carolina Beach. All activities were less than 10 minutes away. We will definitely seek out this home again for future trips. Thanks for hosting us!

Clean and well stocked. Very nice and friendly property owner. Great Location. The only downfall was the bed was uncomfortable in the front room and it would be nice to have more seating in the main room for watching tv in the evening. Otherwise, it was great!! Would recommend.

Perfect Getaway

A charming little cottage super close to the beach! The bedrooms are a little tight, so I’d recommend other travelers to pack lightly, but it was the perfect size for our traveling party of three. The owners were very communicative and made the whole process super easy. Would definitely come back!

Excellent Cottage

Would highly recommend to anyone. Was skeptical about staying at a place for 5 nights that allowed pets as we have never traveled with our dog. My fear was that places that allowed pets would be substandard. This was not the case. There was no evidence of any previous pets being on site. It was extremely clean. Had a nice yard and was exactly, if not better than described. The attention to details and the small stuff is what made this an exceptional place for us. Well thought out floor plan but kept the original cottage feel. Well stocked amenities, not just the basics as many places have. Good access to the beach. Great communication and response time from the the host. Had no issues but got the feeling if we did, they would be addressed quickly. Definitely will be returning knowing what I know now.

Wonderful pet friendly home!

The home was clean, well equipped, and roomy. It was a quick walk to the beach (under 3 minutes). The beach items at the house were very helpful, especially the beach wheel barrow. The owner was very responsive and next time we go to Kure we will definitely stay again.
