The room was nice, however the mattress is the master bedroom was like trying to sleep on a board with lumps in it. I did call the host but never heard back from them so we endured. The location was wonderful and my family had a great time and made a lot of memories. Just wish we could have slept better.

Great location, just a few minor issues
The good first. The location is in Kure away from some of the crowds which is nice. The unit is right on the beach, no real dune to speak of. The unit is obviously older, but it has been updated for the most part. There is some wear and tear here and there, but not a big deal. The freezer ice maker made tons of ice every day so no need to go buy a bag. You could probably also park 3 cars if you squeezed in. Now the negatives. The bed in the master was listed as a queen but was actually a full. It was also very firm which was unfortunate for us since we prefer soft beds. There were no door locks on the master bedroom or bathroom or the guest bedroom. The only interior door that locked was the guest bath. The AC didn't work well in the guest bedroom but there was a large box fan that helped. This has been reported to the management company so I would expect it to be fixed for future guests. There is no outside shower, just a hose connection. The hose for our unit was old and shriveled shut so we had to use the neighbors hose.All in all it was a good unit. If it weren't for the bed size and door locks, I would overlook everything else since they're minor concerns.

Great view
It was a great view with easy access to the beach. Comfortable furniture. My only complaint would be the kitchen appliances. The stove really needs replaced. The burners are all crooked and dirty underneath. The microwave is also very old.

Good luck getting in
Could not access stairs to carry in our luggage for 3 hours upon arrival due to vehicles blocking sides of stairs. Called Bryant Real Estate the next morning and they said we should have called a tow truck....unreal.

Perfect spot for a family
Quiet, awesome spot directly on the beach. Far enough away from conveniences but close enough to not be inconvenient. Great access to trails to run and walk. Would absolutely return.

Fantastic location
The space was a great size and very nice. The sliding glass door wouldn't slide. It needs lubricant or fixed. Otherwise, great space. We really enjoyed our time there but didn't have enough pillows for the amount of people we told them were staying. We would book here again based on how nice the house is and the location. It was a wonderful stay.

Needs an update
This rental is all about location.
The rental itself needs a big update. The kitchen is very dated and drawers are falling out. The guest bathroom has obviously had a leak from above so the paint and plaster is molding and hanging down. It was clean enough, but for the price they are putting the $$ amount based on location and not on the state of the rental.
The rental company are not easy to get a hold of in person. I could only get contact via their website online chat or by email. Calls and voice messages went unreturned. They also do not align with VRBO policies even when VRBO contact them to help with a problem.

Mostly good.
Nice quiet location.
Really the only negative was the washer:dryer. We specifically chose a place with a washer and dryer however when we arrived it wasn’t hooked up. Contacted management company twice and no one could come out and hook it up. Otherwise, nice stay.
