Things to do:
Adventure awaits. Discover aquatic wildlife and vegetation at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher or enjoy a relaxing ferry ride across the Cape Fear River to a quaint little shopping town called Southport. Take a trip back in time at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum which features live oak-covered trails and bunkers from the American Civil War. Stroll through the marsh to visit the home of the famous Ft. Fisher Hermit. Or wind down with nature at our two state parks, sure to provide a memorable experience with hiking, fishing, and water activities such as paddle boarding and kayaking, and search for a Venus Flytrap which is native to NC only. As one of North Carolina's most undeveloped beaches, the island offers a unique opportunity to see many diverse coastal wildlife, including pelicans and loggerhead sea turtles, in their natural habitat. Whether it’s exploring activities on the island, enjoying the ocean views, or enjoying a cocktail by sunset from your own private balcony, Pleasure Island offers diversion for every enthusiast!

Explore the treasures of Carolina Beach, ranked one of the top 10 boardwalks in the country by Food & Wine magazine. One of the last remaining beach boardwalks on the East Coast, it includes a variety of restaurants, an arcade, shops, ice cream, Famous Britts Donuts, bars, and more! During the summer months, the Boardwalk is bustling with the sound of music, carnival rides, bingo, family nights, and events like the weekly fireworks and concert series. Rent a Jeep, bicycle, or golf cart as the most convenient ways to navigate the island. Annual off-season events include the Cape Fear Kite Festival, Christmas by the Sea, and the Island of Lights Festival.

Lovely beachfront stay
The location of this house could not be better with a private boardwalk right to the beach. The house was exactly as described with comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, great deck furniture. Some house info was on a sheet of paper but could be helpful to have a guidebook as it took us a while to find the washer dryer. Bring your own paper products, toiletries/soap/detergent and beach towels/chairs then enjoy the view.

Overall excellent location, house is beautiful. Was disappointing there were no beach chairs available at property (don’t remember seeing that in description). WiFi was spotty and TV channels limited. Otherwise would definitely go again or recommend to others.

Family Fishing Trip
Went down for a few days with some family to go fishing. Weather was bad so we spent the long weekend in the house and the house was great! Kitchen is well appointed, beds and pillows were comfy. Plenty of space to spread out in the house and enjoy the space.

Family gathering
If your flying in to stay at this home its difficult. There was nothing in this home, we enjoy showing up with beds made, amenities in kitchen, no paper products we had to shop for alot of things we enjoy cooking at home all together. The home needs some love. It needs to be painted, rug in living room to be replaced same with furniture. There was no beach towels or chairs. I rent twice a year in Kure Beach. And I have had great success not this time. I have to say the Rental Company should have told me all this while booking, because i would not have rented this home. I explained i needed a super clean home it was not. The Rental Company was quick to come when we had issues.

Great family beach trip
Anchored In was a great oceanfront beach house for our family vacation. Lots of room, fantastic deck for relaxing, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. Our only issue during the week was WiFi- related. The WiFi wasn’t working initially, but after contacting property management, it was resolved within 24 hours. We would rent this home again!

We loved the house
We loved the house, lots of room for everyone, loved the porch, so relaxing. Would rent it again for sure!! The only negative think was placing maintenance calls. Communication was poor and we could not understand each other. The dish washer dis not work very well and a part had to be ordered. Also the flies near the garage cans was really bad. We would bring some kind of spray next time

Perfect for a family reunion
Beautiful, well-appointed property set up to host an extended family. We spent our time walking, playing and lounging on the quiet beach in front of the house, taking short walks to the Kure Beach proper, enjoying activities and restaurants in nearby Carolina Beach, and relaxing in a comfy chair on the large, shaded porches at the house. The kitchen is well-appointed, has plenty of dishes and everything you need to cook for a crew. We did have issues with a broken dishwasher and downstairs refrigerator, so we had to hand wash lots of dishes and shop for smaller batches than planned. Also recommend that you bring extra bath towels as the one issued per person is not sufficient. Despite these challenges, the house is perfect for an extended family gathering and we had a wonderful time! Be sure to get up early for gorgeous sunrise views or end your day watching Kure Beach pier or Carolina Beach fireworks - all from the convenience of your porch!!

Beautiful home
Loved the well stocked kitchen however the cook top was advertised as 6 burner. One burner did not work and 2 others did not have correct heat when changed from high to low. Causing a part of a dinner to be ruined. Everything else about house and our stay was wonderful.

House was everything it advertised
Our week was perfect. House was beautiful and clean. I fell asleep every night listening to waves crash. The beach in front of house was sandy (not rocky) and quiet. We spent all day, every day on beach. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook great meals. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. We had a fabulous time. Thank you. We will absolutely come back!

Kure Beach 2020
The house is spacious for the 9 of us. We loved waking to the sounds of the ocean each day. The outdoor porches are delightful with comfortable seating. The children enjoyed hunting lizards around the outdoor space. Great to have an outdoor shower! The beach is convenient, easy to run back to the house to grab something. Weather was exceptional this week.

Very nice, updated ocean front home
We enjoyed our week at Kure. The house was great. The kitchen was well equipped with anything we needed. The large kitchen table that would allow all 9 of us to eat together (with some closeness) was wonderful. The beds were comfortable. The rented linens worked out great. The porch with adirondacks and rocking chairs was perfect to wait out the occasional rain shower. My only criticism, and it is small, is the lack of cable tv. What was provided was a very basic package with minimal channels; I didn’t count but probably less than 10. The renter is given the option to pay $22 for an upgraded package. I think that for the cost of renting a property for the week, a usable cable package should be included. That being said, I didn’t go to the beach to watch television so it wasn’t a concern for me. But is was for those who wanted to see a sporting event other than what espn was showing; watch a program other than TNT’s offering; or had no interest in the food network. We would certainly consider renting this property again. And the turtle nest right in front of the house was very neat, wish they would have hatched while we were there.
