Two Bedroom, Two Bathroom Ocean Dunes Condo
“Fair Winds” is a coastal retreat located in the ocean dunes condo complex. This gracious, top floor end unit is a light-filled, oceanfront condo with beautiful ocean views from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom and oversized deck. The unit is ideally located, with beach access directly in front of the building and the Recreation Center located just across the street. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit is located on the second level and does require stairs to access the unit.
As you enter the property, the fully renovated, open concept kitchen, dining, and living area pull your gaze out the sliders to the ocean blue. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and all of the essential items needed to prepare a meal. The teal backsplash creates a pop of color against the clean, white look of the cabinets and marble countertops. Tucked into a nook in the kitchen, you will find a new full-size washer and dryer. From the kitchen, you flow into the dining room. The light, coastal wood style table can seat six guests. Easy care flooring spans throughout the main living area and continues into the kitchen. A sleeper sofa (with a new mattress as of March 2024) faces the beautifully tiled electric fireplace in this nautically styled space. From the living room, you have access to the oceanside deck which houses another dining area.
The primary bedroom is fitted with a King bed, a smart TV, and full ocean views through the sliders leading to the deck. An ensuite is attached with a single vanity and shower/ tub combo. The second bedroom has a Queen bed, smart TV, and access to the hall bathroom. The hall bathroom has a single vanity and shower/ tub combo. Between the two bedrooms is a storage closet and wet bar.
Ocean Dunes is an ideal year-round vacation spot for families!

Our stay was wonderful. The condo was beautiful and just as pictured. The area was quiet and relaxing. Everything was very clean and we had all of the supplies needed. Very organized and well-stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautifully decorated, well stocked and organized. Loved being steps away from the beach access and the recreation center. Partial ocean view due to buildings on each side. To see the sunrise you will need to walk to the beach. Be aware that you need to climb several steps to get to second floor. My only complaint will be that the beds are extremely low to the ground.
We loved the private small beach vibe.
The property is comfortable and well decorated. The kitchen is well supplied. The view from the deck and master bedroom was beautiful. Our only real problems were getting down to the beach since a storm had pushed the sand up over the steps and walkways. It was about a five foot drop up and down. The other issue was the master bed being very low to the ground
We loved the condo! It was decorate well and fully stocked. The pool was nice, and it was very quiet. Unfortunately we came just as Hurricane Debbie came through and the beach was all but washed away. At low tide it is very rocky and the beach is nonexistent at high tide. Obviously this is out of the control of the property owner, but would have been helpful to know since we were traveling with a child who expected to be able to jump in the waves and play on the beach. If the beach isn’t an issue for you, then I would 100% recommend this property!
We had a fantastic stay in Kure Beach! The condo was clean, the beds were surprisingly comfortable, and the view was beautiful. The property is a bit older but they have done a great job of updating, renovating, and keeping amenities nice. Wish they had an umbrella for the table outside on the balcony but all in all, we would highly recommend this rental.
The kitchen was very well equipped with nice dishes and glassware. The refrigerator and washer/dryer were like new. The decor was beautiful, and we had a good view of the ocean.The beds were really comfortable, the bathrooms very clean, and we were provided plenty of towels. Kure Beach is pretty quiet which we enjoy. We had a delicious seafood dinner at Riverview Restaurant just minutes away that overlooked the gorgeous Cape Fear River. Upon checkout we drove just a few minutes down to the museum at Fort Fisher and then spent a couple of hours at the beach at Firt Fisher.
We enjoyed everything about the condo.
The beach was not what we expected, and that is on us. But not being able to play in the water or float just not going to happen. Even folks with little kids saying they couldn’t take there kids in the water and feel safe.
The condo was beautifully decorated, the beds were very low to the ground and the sleep sofa was terrible. There was supposed to be 3 pools but we could only find one and it was not convenient to our condo. If you plan on using the pool you may want to request a unit closer to the pool. The beach was beautiful and not crowded, but very rocky. We ended up going to a public access beach about 5 minutes down the road that was much better. Kure beach is a very quiet, beautiful place to relax.
The condo looked just like the photos; it had a great view of the beach and the sunrise. You could hear the waves crashing from the condo. 4 adults were comfortable, with plenty of room and seating. The kitchen has everything you need to create meals and snacks. The king size bed is very low, as others mentioned in their reviews. I thought, how low could it be? It's low. With 27 steps to the 2nd floor, we all got additional exercise. The stairs are something to consider when traveling with someone who might struggle. The beach was not crowded, and swimming was amazing.The dunes were a little tough to navigate up and down but doable. We enjoyed great meals, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. Don't miss breakfast at Ocean View restaurant in Kure, delicious food and excellent service. We all decided we would definitely come back again. We had a terrific time.
