We absolutely loved the location of the home and being able to walk right out to the beach. It is a short walk/drive to the Kure pier and dining, a short drive to the Carolina beach board walk and we did take the ferry to visit the town of Southport. The area is not very biker friendly.
The house itself left a few things to be desired. Some furnishing and fixtures are outdated, which I think made the house feel dirty. We are a family of 4. We have a teenager and preteen and we found we were not comfortable in the living room watching a movie together. The beds were not the comfiest. There was plenty of eating space. There was not a dustpan to be found to sweep up any sand tracked in. Each bathroom hardly had any hand soap left and that was not one of the items listed to bring therefore we did not come supplied with any. There was not a trash bag in the kitchen trash can when we arrived. The home has both a kuerig and a coffee pot that uses #4 filters.
The view however was amazing and we did spend most of our time on the beach! I would stay again, but if I could recommend anything a large sectional sofa and a king size bed with a nice mattress would have made the stay amazing!
