This was our fifth year in a row and we have never regretted it. What stands out is that every time we come back to the house it seems so well maintained, with upgrades, so clean and so pleasant to start your family vacation. Plenty of beach equipment, kitchen equipment, and a wonderful pool. Thank you to the host for making our family vacations so memorable.
If I could give Pier Gazer 10 stars I would. By far the neatest, cleanest, most organized and well stocked rental we have had in the 8 years we have been coming to Carolina/Kure Beach. It is in a fabulous location! You can tell that the owners, Sharon and Alan, take really good care of their property. Best beach trip ever. It was so much appreciated and would definitely book again!
This place was everything that was advertised and more. The weather was not good, but we made the best of it. Space was great. My grandson loved the game room. Would most definitely recommend this place to anyone. We will be back. Oh and this was our first trip to Kure Beach. Thank you
We had a family vacation, including 6 adults and 3 children under 7 years old. This property was perfect. A few of our favorite things: 1) The multiple balconies including the 4th level 360 degree view, which we loved for sunsets. 2) The master bedrooms are spacious and the showers have many nozzle options. 3) The very short walk to the beach. 4) A walk to Kure for the pier, restaurants, and a convenience store. 5) Short drive up the coast to get to the grocery store, more restaurants, and the amusement park at Carolina Beach, and 6) The many folding chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and wagon made our beach days easy and fun.
Our group of teens stayed at Piergazer for their senior year spring break trip. This house was worth the money. Every single implement required in the kitchen was there. Fully stocked games closet. Plenty of room for 9 teens and a mama chaperone. The views are lovely and the location is ideal.
I wish the wondows would have been able to be opened. All of the handles are removed. I figure its a safety concern, so no matter.
The host was friendly and communicative. I was surprised at the lack of trashbags on site but that was a tiny detail.
Five stars. Will stay again.
The facility was clean. I was disappointed with the fact it said beachfront but it wasn’t. The owner had hidden costs that I didn’t care for. The owner was available when I emailed him.
Once again another wonderful family vacation at this fabulous rental. This is our family’s second year at Sharon and Alan’s place. They always have it so clean and so well stocked with almost everything which is not the norm for most rentals. We do appreciate all they do to make our vacation so enjoyable - communication is great! We love, love, love, this location.
Really wonderful place to stay. Owners and management attentive and provided a great experience. Place was light, bright, spacious, decor and systems up to date, clean, well stocked with the essentials, and comfortable. Would happily stay again.

The house was great. They thought of everything.
The decorating was perfect. I loved the paint colors.
Great location within short walking distance of all Kure Beach has to offer. The owners have gone above and beyond - kitchen was fantastic and lots of beach chairs and toys. The pool and game room added to the fun. Really enjoyed the views from the top deck
