The Hemingway Is A Fantastic Coastal Family Get Away!

We went for a family trip and had a great time. The house had more than enough room for everybody and the proximity to the beach was great. The house was very clean and the pool table in the garage was a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home close to a great beach!

Very lovely home and lovely neighborhood. Close access to beach and kitchen had everything we needed. A wonderful family beach vacation!

No tv's in bedrooms. Not enough living room seating based on the house renting as 6 bedrooms. Mouse droppings in lower bedroom cabinet, killed 2 roaches. Sitting area in kids room, the corner seat unit, very dirty.

We had a great time and were very comfortable for our extended family party of 11, age 2-grandparent!

This lovely home was perfect to accomodate our large family. Plenty of sleeping space for our 11 adults, 1 child, and 2 grandbabies! Extremely spacious deck with plenty of seats. The swinging outdoor bed was very popular! Pool table, bikes and basketball goal. Short walk to beach! We loved our week at The Hemmingway.

A gorgeous, well-maintained, well-appointed house with plenty of room and a short walk to the beach. We rented this for my parents' 50th Anniversary party and it was the perfect location. We all ate together at every meal, got to the beach twice a day and were able to run out super quickly to the store to get the occasional item or emergency ice cream provision. We would love to return and recommend this location 100%.

Home was clean and property manager was assessable.

This house is located in a quiet, well kept development with a mix of adults and kids. Lots of friendly people and dog walkers and a very short distance from the private beach which has its own private access & parking lot. Great location. Communication with Barbara was easy and the house was ready for us 3+- hours before the stated 4:00 check in time which was a bonus. The wraparound porch was the highlight of this house and it fit all us and we were outside more than inside. However, we had 2 broken toilet seats (you would think that the cleaners would have caught this?) and there was no door or curtain on the outdoor shower. Although I was told that the outdoor shower was for rinsing only, the book inside the house says otherwise.. In any case, Barbara has a guy come over quickly to fix the toilet seats and install a makeshift shower curtain. Lastly, the home could have been left cleaner. My wife took a wet paper towel to the handrail from upstairs to downstairs and it was black. There was leftover food in the refrigerator. Especially during COVID, who wants to use someone else's opened condiments? I may be incorrect, but I would say that the cleaners did not go over and above a simple wipe down to clean this house. Especially during COVID, you would expect that they would go the extra mile. We ended up doing it ourselves. Lastly, this is a 5 bedroom house... the the 6th bedroom is captive, (need to walk thru another bedroom to get there) and it was hotter than the rest of the house. This was not ideal for privacy. Lastly, in the main living room, there was only 1 couch and an ottoman....nothing else. If you need indoor seating, this house is not for you. I was really surprised, especially based on the number of people the house accommodates. Overall, I give it a solid 5 stars.

This home was perfect for our extended family getaway for 10! Plenty of room, perfect location, and great amenities! We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Kure Beach.
