    Great property! It is clean, well-appointed with high-end finishes, stocked with plenty of kitchen staples, lots of “extras” such as beach equipment, bikes and games and has a good layout for a multi-generational family. The property has really good views to be one house back from oceanfront and the reverse living, open design floor plan really maximizes that. The elevator is a definite plus for navigating the levels with luggage and supplies but is a must for those who are step-challenged so that made the property invaluable to us. A heads up for future guests…parking is a bit tight. The homeowners clearly state in the listing that there is room for one car in the garage and two in the driveway so they are completely upfront about the number of vehicles and are not trying to conceal anything. There are also photos of the parking arrangements in the listing so there are no unknowns. Just be aware that if you have multiple SUV’s or an oversized truck and do have the maximum of three vehicles on the property, it’s pretty close. Also, know that there are no TVs in the lower floor bedrooms. This is a great property and I would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you, Sharon & Alan, for providing great accommodations and helping make our stay at Kure Beach a good one!

    The facility was clean. I was disappointed with the fact it said beachfront but it wasn’t. The owner had hidden costs that I didn’t care for. The owner was available when I emailed him.

    This is a lovely, very livable home decorated quite tastefully and with a generously equipped kitchen. There's an outdoor dining table on one of the decks that seats 8, and in the game room is a large table suitable for big jigsaw puzzles and other games. Our party of seven ranged in age from 14 to 84 (cheers for the elevator!), and our bedrooms gave us all very comfortable accommodations. There's a large tv in the living room and other sets elsewhere, and a gaming system that the teens enjoyed. We grilled near the swimming pool one evening, and watched fireworks from the highest deck on another. Kure Beach and Carolina Beach are full of attractions (pickleball courts, an outdoor volleyball pit, an escape room, arcades and shops, etc.) and appealing restaurants. The 100-year-old Kure Beach pier drew us several times for strolls and for browsing the thousands of items for sale in the shop. A great vacation week!

    Everything about the property was great. Didn't love the sand of the beach and the water was pretty rough but everything about the house was great.

    Once again another wonderful family vacation at this fabulous rental. This is our family’s second year at Sharon and Alan’s place. They always have it so clean and so well stocked with almost everything which is not the norm for most rentals. We do appreciate all they do to make our vacation so enjoyable - communication is great! We love, love, love, this location.

    We had a family vacation, including 6 adults and 3 children under 7 years old. This property was perfect. A few of our favorite things: 1) The multiple balconies including the 4th level 360 degree view, which we loved for sunsets. 2) The master bedrooms are spacious and the showers have many nozzle options. 3) The very short walk to the beach. 4) A walk to Kure for the pier, restaurants, and a convenience store. 5) Short drive up the coast to get to the grocery store, more restaurants, and the amusement park at Carolina Beach, and 6) The many folding chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and wagon made our beach days easy and fun.

    This was our fifth year in a row and we have never regretted it. What stands out is that every time we come back to the house it seems so well maintained, with upgrades, so clean and so pleasant to start your family vacation. Plenty of beach equipment, kitchen equipment, and a wonderful pool. Thank you to the host for making our family vacations so memorable.

    If I could give Pier Gazer 10 stars I would. By far the neatest, cleanest, most organized and well stocked rental we have had in the 8 years we have been coming to Carolina/Kure Beach. It is in a fabulous location! You can tell that the owners, Sharon and Alan, take really good care of their property. Best beach trip ever. It was so much appreciated and would definitely book again!
