Ebbtide –Kure Beach oceanfront home with screened porch, private beach access

The house is clean, accommodations are adequate and the house met our needs. I wouldn’t do my laundry there or plan on watching TV in the 2nd bedroom because it’s gone. I think some upgrades could be made for the weekly fee. Plus, in order to find a decent restaurant, we went over to South Port and ate at the Frying Pan. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

We loved the house all except for the steps going down to the beach were a bit awkward and troublesome. Plus, the hose to wash off was hot water and you stepped right back into a mud puddle. One of the TV's in the bedroom didn't work - it was quite old and it made a terrible noise when it was turned on, so my family wasn't able to use that TV at all. It was somewhat inconvenient to turn the keys into a realty place. We have always been able to use a key pad to leave. Otherwise, we had a great time. The weather was beautiful, we love Kure Beach and we will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ebbtide! The location was great and the house was really comfortable and spacious. We would absolutely (and hopefully will) stay there again.

This was a great beach house for our family Thanksgiving getaway. The main areas were spacious, not crowded like some beach houses. The screened porch across the back was a relaxing hangout. And of course a private walkway to the beach!

The good: Check in was easy, however it is somewhat inconvenient to check in at the property manager office then go to beach house. Ebbtide beach house is comfortable and cozy, the kitchen is very well supplied with everything you need except the food. Full range of linen is supplied as well as TVs and internet. Private walkway right to the dunes is nice. Central location is great for things to see and do (i.e Aquarium, State Park, Southport Ferry, Battleship North Carolina). The staff and maintenance folks were fast in there response and friendly. The not so good: Unfortunately there has been dredging going on so crab and shell hunting was pretty much a non starter. There were however, several issues that could stand to be addressed. The sliding door latch was broken and required use of a piece of wood to secure the door. All of the stools at the kitchen counter were ripped and taped. All outside chairs were damaged in some form. The screen on the porch was pushed out in places. The gate on the bottom of the back outside stairway had broken hinges. The shower under the house was very hot water only and the hose cold water was a piddle trickle at best.. The above items were all relatively small issues, but should be addressed, they result in a rundown appearance overall. Two of my bigger concerns with this house were the stepdown out of the sliding door onto the porch and the back door of the porch, it opens out immediately onto the steps which is inconvenient and coming from the beach up the stairs is somewhat dangerous, our seven year old nearly fell backwards down the stairs twice while opening the door. Restaurants in the Kure Beach area were ok, we ate at Mackerel Jacks (flounder was mushy) and Havanas (mushy fish, slimy cole slaw and indifferent server), neither place I would eat at again,. Finally we went to Southport for a restaurant and the Provision Company was 5 star. Parking in Kure Beach is a pain to put it mildly. Mostly pay to park and several places have vehicle length restrictions which do not accomodate a full size crew cab pickup.

The view was wonderful. The house was comfortable. The beach chairs needed cleaning which we did but new ones might be advisable. There was no kayak as advertised. Still is was a wonderful stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Being at the beach in December with sunny days and temps in the high 60's and low 70's - wonderful!! The location of the beach property to the beach and ocean near perfect and of course the views of the beach and ocean from the porch - wonderful as well.The property itself looked dated but then again vacationers are here for the beach. The property was clean and basically had everything one needed.

I actually have lived in Kure when I was younger. It was nice to share with my son and my nephew.

Other reviews said the place is dated, which is true, but I couldn’t care less about that as long as it’s clean which it was. New pans would be appreciated though since almost all were unusable. It can get a bit loud bc it’s on the main drag but it didn’t really bother us. Amazing beach and close to a few shops and restaurants at walking distance. My only other critique would be to ask management/owners to spend 3 extra dollars and provide paper towels and more than one toilet paper roll. These small things go a long way w guests. No one wants to drive hours to a house to find no paper towels. Thank you for a great stay!

We were disappointed that the dryer is broken beyond repair, and the rental company said, There is no timeline to replace it.
