Beachfront condo

This condo has a great location! We stayed here for Christmas and though the weather wasn’t great, the views were. The condo could use some deeper cleaning, some new furnishings, and some better kitchen gear. Everything was functional, just quite worn.

Older Condo but excellent view of beach

The property was well equipped. The beds were not extremely comfortable but they were adequate. The kitchen was very nice but the DVD player was broken and the TV was not a smart TV so we were stuck with cable.

Great place!

I love Kure Beach I went as a kid and it still holds its spirit of chill beach town. The reviews are correct the TVs don’t work and the beds are super comfortable. The condo has everything you need and more. They are generous with towels, pillows, and blankets. No bugs but it was in the 40s at night. The kitchen looks newer than the photos. NOTHING like the view! And enjoyed the large balcony.

Great location and view!

Great location with a great view! Large balcony and we loved the palm tree! Very comfy beds! Newer flooring and updated hall bath and laundry are nice. Kitchen and master bath could use a face lift. Fan in master bath makes an awful noise. Needs another chair in the living area to accommodate four adults comfortably. All in all a nice place to stay, just could use some updating in kitchen and master bath.

Perfect Location

We enjoyed staying at Mermaids Sunrise. We stopped by Bryant Real Estate to grab our keys, and the staff was very welcoming, so everything started off on the right foot. The unit was clean and very conveniently located just steps to the beach. An absolutely breathtaking view! Appliances are in great condition! For those not used to first row properties, there will be bugs, it is inevitable! This unit is properly treated and the bugs were not an issue at all. Very clean unit.

Not what we expected

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The oceanfront location was the only good thing about is unit. The beds were all old mattresses and and uncomfortable, the kitchen was worn and tired and the living room and outside seating was all uncomfortable. Both the water and HVAC filter needed replacement. Kudos to the marketing people for making this sound better than it was, but we will not be using Bryant again.
