Kure Beach, North Carolina
***As of March 9, 2024, the HOA informed us that they will be shutting down the indoor pool/hot tub area as of April 8th.
The work involves draining the pool (3 days); erecting scaffolding (1 full day) and then having the contractor come in and do the removal of the existing baffles and installation of the new baffles. The contractor estimates this could take 4-5 weeks to complete the phase of the work. Once the work is complete, the scaffolding will be removed; the pool will be filled back up, chemicals balanced and water re-heated. This takes a minimum of 3 days. They estimate the pool and hot tub will not be accessible until at least the second week of May if not later. All involved will do their best to ensure the work is done in as timely a fashion as possible, but there are factors that may be out of our control that could change the timeline. ***

We loved the area and the location of the property. We were unable to use the washer and dryer because it got rust on our clothes when we used it. Washer and Dryers are very important to us when we are at the beach, so that was not great. We loved the place and the location. This was our first trip to Kure Beach and we definitely want to come back. Our condo was nice but dated, but you could not beat the location and the views and the deck. The couch was very uncomfortable. We loved the beach!
Our stay was amazing and exactly what we needed. The unit was beautiful, clean, and had everything you need for your stay. The location was gorgeous and the rec center was a bunch of fun for our sons. Thank you!
Being right ON the ocean was breathtaking, peaceful, energizing and perfect, with no dunes blocking the view (& worth the three flight climb each time, up & down wooden stairs). The furniture & furnishings (kitchenware, etc.) were comfortable and substantial - we especially loved the blue & white wooden deck chairs.
It was a little much lugging everything up to the third floor. If there was young people to help, that would of helped. The parking spot was difficult to get in and out of, because of the way it was situated.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spectacular panoramic view from our outside deck. Ferry ride to Southport was great where we had a very good lunch at Moore Oyster Bar with ice cream at the Marketplace. Horse and carriage ride was a wise choice to see downtown Wilmington. At Kure Beach, Jack Mackerel’s and Freddie’s were our 2 favorite restaurants near the pier.

It afforded us the ability to be 'at home' while we enjoyed our time on the island. Enjoying the sound of the waves at night and the views was just what 'the doctor ordered'.

Place has an absolute beautiful view and ideal location to Fort Fisher and scenic walks. Kure Beach pier is in outstanding condition, very pretty! Only disappointment was that the pool, hot tub and workout room was closed due to renovation.
This condo might be a bit older but super clean and had no moldy smells that we have had at other condos in the past. The view was immaculate, you feel like you are sitting right on the beach. We also got to see the coquina at low tide and it was beautiful. Only thing that happened to us (at no fault of the owner) was having to take another access to the beach on the other end of the building. A storm had knocked down the closest one right beside us that also had the shower for washing off our feet. But we made due found a mop bucket filled it with water put it on front porch to take care of our Sandy feet before entering. Having starter paper towels and esp TP plus sheets and towels included is a bonus. I highly recommend Ocean paradise. **one suggestion to the owner. It would be nice to have a couple bar height type chairs such as Adirondack style on the deck to be able to see the view above the deck rails but only a suggestion. Still fantastic view.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Ocean Paradise and again Bryant Real Estate made checking in and out very easy and efficient. They were easy to get in touch with during business hours. It rained almost the entire time that we were there, but we loved watching the storms and rain on the ocean from our balcony - very beautiful and dramatic. We did get a few strolls on the beach between rains. We went to Carolina Beach for dinner on 2 evenings, because the seafood restaurant that we enjoyed before was closed. Even with the rain and closed restaurant, we totally enjoyed being there. It was actually pretty nice to have a different experience. We visited the aquarium on the rainiest day, and enjoyed shopping in Wilmington on the day that we left. The condo was pretty comfortable, even though I could tell that a whole summer's worth of visitors had stayed there since our 1st stay. It was fairly clean, but the carpet could use a shampooing, and the scent in the condo wasn't as fresh. The kitchen was clean and well appointed, and the linens were clean and bagged. All in all, a good getaway for us.
