Cutest Pink Beach House

Perfect location for a family with kids, short walk to the beach, stores, and restaurants. Plenty of room to park and the outdoor shower is a game changer!! Lots of space in the backyard for the pup. The screened porches allowed us to be outdoors most of the time without BUGS! Highly recommend.

Great stay

My husband and I had a very nice stay at this cottage this past week. We loved the close proximity to the beach, as well as the fully fenced-in back yard, which worked well for our 2 senior dogs. We also really enjoyed the fire pit, and we used it several times during our stay. The owners were incredibly nice and very prompt to answer any questions that we had during the stay. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Backyard made it perfect

Our anniversary is the end of October so if we choose a beach getaway a pool really isn't up there on the priority list. But a nice yard for our pup and a firepit is exactly what we like to see. The fact that you can see the ocean from the parking area is a huge plus also. We spent the cool nights around the campfire and the 70 degree days walking all around the beach and carolina beach state park (highly recommend). Ate our anniversary dinner at Stoked which was awesome with a nice view! Location was great, backyard great, if it were a little warmer I'd have used the outdoor shower every day!

Our stay

The accommodations were good and it is close to the beach. The neighbors were a bit loud and didn’t seem too cleanly. We had to leave early and did attempt to cancel originally. Request was denied so we paid for a week we didn’t get.

Great location

This house was only a couple mins away from the beach- awesome location ! Loved that is was dog friendly ! Huge fenced in backyard. Indoor shower was tiny but outdoor shower made up for it. When we arrived the trash cans outside were full and smelly - had to move farther away from the main door . Overall great stay though - loved all the ceiling fans in the rooms.

Wonderful cottage near the beach.

We really enjoyed our time here. Everything was clean and welcoming the owner was very helpful and personable. I you have pets, this is a great place to stay. It has a fully fenced, large backyard our dog loved. Very short walk to the beach. We will definitely book again.

Cute Cottage and Fantastic Location

We really enjoyed our stay here. It had everything we needed for a weekend getaway, and the location was perfect. It was an easy walk to the beach as well as several restaurants and a coffee shop. The house is cozy, and it’s the perfect size for a small friend group. The ceiling fans are particularly cool, and we loved using the outdoor shower.

Kure beach

We had a good time. The beach was very close to the house. However when we arrived until the time we left there were 1000's of flies due to a fruit tree in the backyard right next to the patio so sitting outback was unpleasant. We did take our dogs with us and when I first got there I checked the perimeter of the fenced in yard to make sure no gaps where dogs could get out and it was perfect and 6ft tall. There were a few piles of dog poop in the yard upon arrival however me being a dog person No big deal. When I checked out the host messaged me within the hour to let me know that she was making a claim due to leaving some dog poop in the back yard and a dog poop smear on the couch cover and it smelling like dog poop and beer in the house. And states she will have to use a diffuser to get the smell out. I may have overlooked a pile or two unintentionally. The couch cover was the kind that is very easy to remove and wash. So I am unsure why that would be a big deal, but again if i would have seen it, I would have cleaned it up. Also, no-one in our group drank any beer in the house at all. We sat at the benches outside for the one night around the firepit and that is where we drank. So again I am unsure how the house would smell like beer. I did leave the remaining of the 12 pk in the fridge. I guess I assumed that the 200 cleaning fee would be to clean and wash the sheets and couch cover. Which mind you I did have one of my sheets over the couch cover. I did pay extra for the protection plan when booking with vrbo. So I am hopeful that a diffuser and the washing of bedding/ couch cover being washed will be covered, as I truly do not think that we caused any damage to the property.

great little beach cottage

My husband and 2 young boys enjoyed our stay at this comfy beach cottage. Erin was a text away and we were able to check in early, which was really nice. The big fenced backyard was perfect for the kids and our dog. The grill and firepit was stocked, which was an unexpected perk! Other perks included a beach canopy and wagon (don't bother with umbrellas on windy days!), well-stocked kitchen and basic spices, screened porches, and the proximity to restaurants and the beach. The space is perfect for a group of 4-5 inside due to the small shared space and single bathroom, but it suited us well. The beach is not dog-friendly during summer months, but Freeman Park beach is a short drive and welcomes dogs. We look forward to staying at Erin's cottage again!

great location for Kure Beach weekend

cute house, well maintained and equipped. We needed the 3 bedrooms but for 6 adult family members, 1 bathroom was not ideal. Outdoor shower was great upon returning from the beach and helped with the bathroom crowd. Somewhat small eating areas for 6 adults unless the weather was good and then the back yard was great. lovely firepit and area to hang out in the back yard

Very nice home in a great location

My family had a great stay here while visiting Kure Beach. While the home is small (it is a cottage, after all), it had everything we were looking for -- separate bedrooms for everyone, a fenced yard for our dog and a short walk to the beach. Everyone loved the outdoor shower. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially for dog people.

Perfect location

Easy breezy beach house. The yard and porches make the house spacious and we spent most of our time outdoors. The back yard is wonderful and secure for kids or dogs. You can hear the ocean at night. Don’t forget to look up at the stars! The beds are comfortable and all the rooms are a good size. Outdoor shower is a must and we didn’t even bother with the indoor bathroom. Walking distance to coffee, drinks, ice cream and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. We will be back as I travel to work in NC often.

Lovely little place

I really enjoyed this property but I took my 82 year old mother. The rocks out front and shower really presented problems for her. This is a wonderful place for families but if you have someone confined to a wheelchair it is a challenge. Erin is very helpful and this property has everything a family or just friends needs. Thank you Erin.
