If you want to stay in a family-friendly atmosphere -- and enjoy a breathtaking million-dollar view of the beautiful Atlantic ocean at your doorstep -- then you'll love your stay at Kure Beach at this lovely home! This incredible oceanfront cottage is an affordable getaway in the heart of Kure Beach, on Pleasure Island. It's within close walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the renowned Kure Beach fishing pier!

This home has a spacious deck with a covered porch swing, a grill, a picnic table and resin Adirondack style chairs. Perfect for your picnic or barbecue, listening to the surf and feeling the ocean breeze. Watch the waves rolling in, seagulls flying by, and dolphins frolicking in the ocean -- right in front of you! You'll have your own walkway to the beach, and the convenience of an outside shower. There's plenty of parking too.

This home is ideally suited for a small family (with 2 double size beds and 2 queen size beds). The master bedroom (with queen size bed and cable TV) is on the lower level and faces the ocean. There is also a full bath, a living room/den with a big picture window (also looking out to sea) and large LED flat screen TV, a full-size kitchen with updated appliances and dining bar, and a pantry with front-loading washer and dryer. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms with ocean views and a shared full bath. One of the bedrooms has two double size beds (with cable TV) and the other bedroom has a queen size bed (also with cable TV).

Every room is decorated in a seaside theme in festive colors. It is smoke-free and pet-free. Amenities include WiFi internet, 4 flat-screen cable TVs, DVD, and telephone service. Routine departure sanitation service is included. Bedding/linens/towels are not included but may be rented at very reasonable rates.

While vacationing at our oceanfront home, you'll be surrounded by plenty of attractions. Great surf fishing is available -- on the Kure fishing pier, by charter boat, or off the beach itself in front of the cottage. For sightseeing, Historic Fort Fisher, Carolina Beach State Park, and the NC Aquarium are favorite local attractions on Pleasure Island within minutes of the cottage. A short drive will take you to historic Wilmington and the Battleship North Carolina -- just 15 miles away. And you may wish to take a day trip to beautiful Southport, by the NC Ferry system at nearby Fort Fisher. There is always something to do for everyone in the family!

For those of you who have vacationed at Kure Beach before, you know what a true gem this beach is! This special home is located in a residential section of the island and is ideal for a family vacation or a romantic getaway. With moderate temperatures and so much available to see and do, it's a nice vacation destination for all ages at any time of the year.

Check in: very easy with clear instructions. Cleanliness: the bathrooms could’ve been cleaner. The shower seemed to have soap scum on portions. The upper bathroom toilet flushes but takes forever to fill with water. Water was hot and plentiful! Bedrooms were spacious and functional. I’ve never been to a rental that required you to furnish your own linens but it worked out in the end just keep in mind you’ll have to figure that into packing. Kitchen has the supplies you need but no dishwasher so make sure you bring more dish soap than you think. Laundry facilities were great. The (I assume) new decking is gorgeous, doesn’t get hot and I never worried about splinters for my kids. Overall, a great vacation spot and we’d stay here again

Seven Days @ the Sandcastle

Our seven days at the Sandcastle were a simple delight! The cottage has been updated so thoroughly it felt as though we were staying in a new home. The home exceeded all our needs and expectations. The furnishings, the kitchen, the deck area, all are well thought out and well appointed, with great attention to the needs and whims of vacationers. It is in a great location, only steps from the ocean and conveniently within walking distance of the pier and the business/restaurant area of Kure Beach. We would definitely recommend the Sandcastle and will return in the future!

The house was perfect. Not many like this left on the island. Perfect size for a smaller family with out paying a fortune like the rest of them. Beautiful views of the beach and the pier. Will definitely be going back to this little oasis.

Had a great time at the property! Was there with our family of four including two teenagers. Excellent location right on the beach and easy walk to the pier and restaurants. Carolina beach is a short drive for more dining options all of which were excellent. House itself was very nice and updated and if anything the pictures don’t really do it justice. AC was ice cold and had everything we needed. Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again!

Amazing Vacation Home!

We had an amazing stay! The house was absolutely beautiful—spacious, clean, and so thoughtfully designed. The back deck was a favorite spot for relaxing, and the private beach access made everything incredibly convenient. We’re already planning to come back next year, hopefully for even longer. Seven days just isn’t enough to enjoy everything this home—and the area—have to offer!

Kure Beach II

This was our second trip to Kure Beach. We visited Airlie Gardens, Carolina State Park, Jungle Rapids and took many walks on the beach. The highlight was the turtle nest excavation at the end of the property boardwalk. Sea Turtle Project volunteers released 14 turtles from the nest into the ocean. The property was close to everything and was easily accessible for my elderly mother. Jennifer is an amazing host and communication was easy. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This was such a wonderful vacation with my little family. The house is exactly as described. It was so conveniently located as well. Being right on the beach was very beneficial, especially with small kiddos. Jennifer was a fabulous host and made sure we knew everything we needed beforehand. We will definitely be back and would book this house again and again.

Kure Beach Vacation

We enjoyed this location and cottage. We were right on the beach and only 4 blocks from the pier. Great seafood at local restaurants. We walked on the beach everyday and found lots of sea shells and sharks teeth. Pretty sunrises and if you drive to the end of the beach great sunsets as well. House was clean and had what we needed for our stay.

Family Vacation

Property was as described, great location with an easy walk to the local restaurants and the beach was a short and easy walk straight from the house over the sand dune. Carolina beach was less than 10 minutes away with many more restaurants to choose from and grocery stores but you get the quiet environment of Kure Beach. The property owner was best I've ever dealt with. Great communication, responsive and had a lot of helpful info. Beach was clean and not overly crowded. Most laid back, relaxing family vacation we've ever had.

Close quarters, but also close to the beach

Understandable in a busy tourist beach area, the neighboring houses are very close and on this particular week there were some noisy neighbors on either side. All in all a lovely view of the beach with convenient access and a great deck to enjoy the ocean.
