The host was very kind to keep us posted on the upcoming storm during our stay. The cottage was as advertised, clean and well equipped kitchen. We had a great stay except for a few days of bad weather.
We had the most relaxing time at this ocean front property! The unobstructed view was spectacular, especially for the sunrise, and the sunset! Amazing easy access to the beautiful and clean beach too. The unit has everything one could need for a pleasant stay, whether for a weekend or longer! The windows open at night brought in the fabulous ocean sounds. John was amazing when we brought to his attention a small matter, and was there to remedy it asap. We will definitely be back again!!
Our first thought when we finally entered was - how quaint! It was confusing on which door to use since there are two entrances. The patio door did not accept the check-in code. The bed was okay. We really liked the swivel TV with the option to watch from all areas of the property. The beach view and sounds were really nice. There were instructions to shower prior to entering the home but there is no outdoor shower or anywhere to rinse. We tried to be careful with bringing sand inside. The communication was slow. The host was emailed Saturday about us not being able to open to patio door from the inside and the response was received Sunday. On Sunday we asked if a later checkout was available and didn't receive a response until Monday as we were already packing up. Overall a decent stay but we're undecided if it's a repeat visit.
Easy access to the beach- next to public beach access so our son could visit. And walking distance to restaurants. Place was well equipped and comfortable!
Property was clean and everything was as it was portrayed. Very nice facility for older couples with no stairs and ocean front. Would stay there again.
This is our favorite place for a short weekend stay at the beach. We will be coming back every year. However the floors were very, very dirty. I wiped something up and the paper towel I used was black.
Absolutely perfect for couple. Hosts left Anniversary card and goodies for our 46th celebration. Watched sun come up. We parked our car and was able to walk everywhere to eat and pier for ice cream every day. Cottage was exceptionally clean and spotless. We have been to Kure Beach several times and this is going to be our place to stay from now on. Already planning a birthday trip. We are in 60's and we were comfortable walking down to beach due to the accessible walkway and just a few short steps to the sandy beach. Perfect location for a trip to Kure Beach. Hosts also provided comfortable chairs for the beach that we really enjoyed. Easiest check in and out ever. Soft towels. We slept like babies in the bed. Very roomy with open floor plan. Look no further. This is your place to stay. We even saw a sunset marriage proposal on the beach on our Anniversary! Ps eat at Jack Mackerals. We are there 3 nights. Also Freddie's for pork chops. Kure Beach is great! And Crystal Shores is clean' quiet and relaxing!!! 10 stars easily!! Thank you great hosts for sharing you beautifully decorated beachfront cottage!!!
A great property with a beautiful view! The owners were so nice when I let them know about an issue, that was no fault of theirs, my first night there. They very quickly remedied the problem and the rest of my stay was wonderful. I will hopefully be back to stay there again later this year. 100% recommend!
Cottage was nestled into the dunes and just steps from the beach. Very close to town and pier. Clean and comfortable. Small space but fine for two people for a week. Nice seating outside to watch the sunrise.
Need to maintain fluid levels of soaps. Some containers were low or empty. The toilet flushing handle does not work normally. Ceiling fan on/off chain does not work. We had to hunt for the wall switch that was hidden behind the refrigerator. Except for the above items/issues, the stay was very nice.
Clean, cozy, and convenient Loved the views of the beach from the patio. The kitchen and bathroom had all of the essentials, and the bed was comfortable. Easy walk to restaurants, and a short drive to Fort Fisher and the ferry to Southport. My only complaintâŠhousekeeping was still on site at 4:00, so we were unable to access the unit until she finished, at 4:15
If you are looking for a quiet location, walking distance to beach, pier and restaurants, our place is perfect. You can have your coffee in morning just a few feet from the ocean or evening drink while you listen to the waves.
