About this property

Come visit our Seaside Escape! OCEANFRONT & newly renovated!

If you like beaches the way they are meant to be; quiet, serene and beautiful, then come visit our Seaside Escape in Kure Beach, NC!!! If you want a place to stay that is clean and comfortable as well as convenient... THIS is the place for you!

Our three bedroom, two bath townhouse is a two-story unit overlooking the Atlantic oceanfront. This is not a high rise, just three steps in the back door and three steps out the front door to the beach. From the master bedroom you can wake up with the sunrise and gaze out through french doors at the sand and waves crashing in on the shore (right from your bed). The view is amazing!

There is an additional upstairs bedroom that has two double beds. Finally there is a third bedroom with a queen size bed and second bath downstairs (great for elderly guests needing a first floor unit). You can enjoy ocean front views from the porch swing and rockers on the upstairs deck or from the first floor covered porch (loaded with benches and rockers) - either place the ocean breeze makes the climate just perfect.

You may be on vacation, but you'll feel like you're at home. We offer a fully-equipped kitchen with all the major/minor appliances (ie. cable TV, VCR/DVD, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, blender and dishwasher). You'll be able to relax or entertain, whatever you like!

When you come inside from the beach feel like you never left. A classic nautical theme can be found throughout the house. From the murals on the walls, to the waves and shells, you'll find the decor is nothing less than soothing and inviting.

As for local activities, you can find much to do. Choose from the newly expanded and renovated Aquarium at Historic Fort Fisher to the Cape Fear Museum in downtown Wilmington or something as simple as taking a short 4 block stroll to see what they're catching on the Kure Beach pier. Pleasure Island puts on many local events, activities and festivals. There is always something going on here!

If you tire of fishing or swimming, you are conveniently located right between the two Historic towns of Wilmington and Southport. Wilmington is just 16 miles north. There you can visit the U.S.S. North Carolina Battleship (maybe even catch an old flick on the deck one evening) or take a stroll down the beautiful waterfront streets for an endless choice of shopping and dining. There are also a lot of fun indoor activities in nearby Wilmington: Bounce House, Defy Gravity, Jungle Rapids, Mayfair Cinemas and Wilmington Children's Museum for example. Either way you are covered on those 'rainy days' with indoor activities in this area!

Less than six miles south you can hop on a short ferry ride to the quaint town of Southport or Bald Head Island. You will probably recognize this town from such films as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' 'Matlock', 'Domestic Disturbance', or the more recent 'Safe Haven'. If you're a movie buff take a tour of the local Screen Gem Studios and see where many movies have been made such as 'Iron Man III' as well as where 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Sleepy Hollow' was taped.

Worried about what to do with the kids? Take them to Jungle Rapids to enjoy the water park, go-carts, and miniature golf. You will not want to miss the zoo either. A zoo at the beach you ask? You've got it... or actually we do! Tregembo's Animal Park (previously known as'Tote-em-in Zoo') has many animals ranging from the ones you'd like to pet to the ones that you know to stay away from. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

If you really like amusement parks; take a day trip to busy Myrtle Beach and go to the Pavilion (little more than an hour away). While you're there check out 'Pirate's Voyage,' 'Ripley's Believe It or Not,' and Broadway at the Beach, or just stroll the boardwalk... then come home to your quiet beachfront town.

For those golfers in your group; you will find several local courses (some even championship) to challenge your golfing skills.

Don't forget all the shopping, dining, and sightseeing! With the warmer temperatures in prime season complemented by the mild temperatures in the off season; as well as the area attractions and friendly local residents... you'll find our townhouse a great vacation spot year round!

Come and stay with us at our Seaside Escape!

Disappointing
Before checking in I received a call from the property owner asking what time I would be checking in because the previous guests had car trouble which put the cleaning crew behind schedule. I checked in late and found a live roach on the first floor. I found three throughout the house during my stay. One being on the stove top. On my first day of stay the owner informed me the dishwasher was not working and wanted to send over a repairmen. I declined this offer because I did not want to sit around while the dishwasher was repaired or leave an unnnown repairmen in the house while I was away. Two days later the owner asked again if I could let a repairmen come to fix the dishwasher and I again declined. On our fifth day is stay we were locked out of the house because the electronic keypad died. The owner was not in town and sent her teenage daughter and juvenile son with a physical key an hour later. The son and daughter replaced the batteries and could not reset the assigned door code for me. I requested some type of compensation from the owner and they never replied to me. This was not a great VRBO experience for the price I payed.

Family Beach Escape
Seaside Escape was truly perfect for our family of four. Nice beach decor and well stocked with all the essentials. Robyn was very responsive and provided great recommendations for our first visit to Kure Beach (won’t be our last). We enjoyed our morning coffee and sunrises from the top deck off the master bedroom. The location was close enough for walks to the pier/restaurants and a short drive to Carolina Beach. Enjoyed our stay!

Amazing find!
Our family of five loved this newly renovated beachfront town home! The space was perfect for running out the door to enjoy the beach, and the well thought out interior had each of our tribe feeling relaxed and comfortable. This home is absolutely perfect for enjoying the best of Kure beach! In addition, the recommendations list for restaurants is spot on! Really wonderful stay!

Great location. Nice place. But too many things needed to be fixed.
It had been renovated nicely. But too many things needed to be fixed that were important to us. The ice machine wasn’t working, the disposal never worked. There was a bad clog in the dishwasher so we weren’t able to use that. There were also the downstairs blinds which were told we weren’t able to open because I think they were also broken. Those are the blinds that would look out towards the ocean. There were only two kitchen knives that we could find and they were really in bad shape All in all it was a good place and if those things were fixed, we would probably come back.

Don’t hesitate - just book it!
This roomy townhouse was perfect! There is a parking spot a few feet from the front door, which made unpacking and packing a breeze. It was very clean and incredibly well-stocked. The host went above and beyond to make sure there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The decor is stylish yet cozy. The open concept kitchen/living area downstairs provides lots of gathering space. The upstairs bedroom opens to a balcony (with a swing - much to the delight of everyone in my group!) overlooking the ocean. The views are incredible! We visited during the winter and we were able to have our morning coffee in our slippers and robes watching the sunrise without getting cold and sandy on the beach. For parents with pre-teen to older kids, you cannot beat this spot. They have direct access to the beach, and you can see them on the beach from the balcony! There are sidewalks most of the way to the pier and a few cute restaurants, and it’s not a far walk. The house is about five minutes from a charming aquarium that is probably best suited for smaller kids, but it’s pretty great when considering the affordable entrance fee. It’s also a short drive to Wilmington, which is a quaint city with lots to do. We enjoyed the USS North Carolina, the riverwalk, and the botanical gardens. Robyn was a fantastic host. We travelled on a major holiday and she was super responsive and helpful from booking throughout. We appreciated her list of the best restaurants. We hope to return next year!

Perfect family vacation!
My aunt, cousin, sister and I rented this beautiful oceanfront property for a four-night stay. This unit was perfect for us and our group. It was a little smaller than it appeared in the picture but that did not matter to us at all. It was so well decorated. It was comfortable and cozy and the perfect place for family to reconnect. The ocean is right outside your balcony and the sun rises are gorgeous. We went to the aquarium and Fort Fisher as well as Carolina Beach. We had one dinner at Mackerel Jacks and lunch at The Spot. We love them both! The locals were so friendly and so much fun. And we had plenty of time for serene and quiet as once again the beach was right outside our back door. Robyn was the perfect host and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Robyn and Verbo for a wonderful vacation!!

Consistently Great
This is our second time renting Seaside Escape, and as before we had a great stay. First, the property is in an outstanding location. Right on the beach. Walk out the back door, across the causeway, and you're there. Walking distance to restaurants and a short drive to the USS North Carolina, aquarium, and a number of other attractions. Second, the host is fantastic. She's attentive and was concerned enough to make us aware of the riptide caused by hurricane Lee. We have a family of 7 with one of our kids being special needs. Plenty of room for all of us, and we're already planning to return next year.

Cute place great location
My family and I enjoyed our stay. There were things that made it uncomfortable at times. When we arrived I went to make the bed with the sheets provided and they smelled really bad like mildew. I had to rewash and dry them. I recommend bringing your own sheets the ones provided were the cheap ones that make you sweat. Also the beds are memory foam and don’t breath so you will wake up hot. It was super cold downstairs and hot upstairs. The water pressure was super low in the shower so very hard to rinse the soap out of your hair. The place was cute and the location was lovely.

Great family vacation
This property was perfect for our one week stay. The view from the 2nd floor bedroom was amazing! The bedrooms were all a nice size. There are full bathrooms downstairs and upstairs. It was a great layout for our family (kids ages 11, 13, 15). The house was less than a one minute walk to the beach. Even on 4th of July week we had plenty of space on the beach for our family to spread out and enjoy the ocean. The beach and water were perfect. Our teens bodysurfed and boogie boarded all day every day. Sand tools and chairs were provided at the house. I would recommend renting chairs and umbrellas. It was a windy beach and our umbrellas couldn’t handle the wind. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils. Washer and dryer were small so I would not plan to do your laundry other than small loads. In the evening we walked to the pier (15-20 min) to watch the fishing, play in the arcade and enjoy ice cream. The prices at the pier for gear, shirts, trinkets is better than the other beach stores.

Family Beach Getaway
We had an excellent beach getaway after a busy school year, and Robyn's place was the central hub of our long weekend. The recent renovations were a delightful surprise, and it was superbly clean. Plus, it was plenty spacious, comfortably housing my wife and me, our two boys (4 and 1yo), her parents, and a family friend. However, the best feature by far was the two porches (one upper and one lower level) with direct beach access (~100 ft walk). It was a wonderful property that helped us make many memories!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn

Host profile image
We are local owners! We bought this property in 2001 while we were looking for a place to vacation for ourselves. We fell in love with the location and the appeal of owning a home on the beach. Since then we have also moved to Kure Beach and are raising our children here (2 girls and a boy). We love Pleasure Island and the small town community feeling it offers. We are also Mortgage Brokers and can help you fulfill your dream of owning your own Seaside Escape!

Here on the island we love all the activities offered at the Carolina Beach Boardwalk in the summer: charter fishing tours, party boat tours, family movies by the lake, paddle boating, the amusement park (summer only), surf lessons, beach bingo, fireworks and world famous doughnuts. We enjoy visiting the NC Aquarium along with Historic Fort Fisher, driving out to the north end of Carolina Beach (Freeman Park) to camp for the day on the beach. We like riding our bikes onto the ferry and over to the little town of Southport. We can't believe we actually live here and get to enjoy this all year!

We are thrilled to be able to share our 2nd home on the beach with you and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do! Best of all, if you need anything we are minutes away.

Why they chose this property

I grew up vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC and my husband at Nags Head, NC. We found Kure Beach to be a wonderful alternative! It is located on an island about 11 miles long and consists of three small towns Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Historic Fort Fisher. It is not the commercialized or tourist attracting town of Myrtle Beach. (We love to visit there but usually make it a day trip) Kure Beach consists mostly of cottages which are 2nd homes or primary residences. There are lots of wonderful restaurants, shopping and local activities offered year round.

This property has private parking, spectacular views, and nice size rooms. One of it's best features is that it's ground level (4 steps up and you're in the door).

What makes this property unique

There is always some kind of small town festival, farmers market, concert, fishing tournament or local race happening on the island - but it is never too crowded. One of the secret advantages of this island is a back road (Dow Rd) which runs along the government owned property lines that allows you to drive from practically one end of the island to the other at 55mph. If you know about this little local secret, traffic is never a problem.

Check out the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce's website for local events and happenings.


They don't call it 'Pleasure Island' for nothing!
