I chose this vacation condo because it was at the south end of Kure Beach, which I thought would be more private and peaceful. I was right! We were lucky enough to be there for the full April moon, which was so magical, shining across the ocean and right in through the sliding glass doors! We would leave the doors slightly open to hear the ocean all night (great for sleeping). We walked the 1 1/2 mile to the pier, enjoyed the pier shop/arcade and walked back. Great exercise in sand. The next day we walked to Fort Fisher and visited the museum. There are several good restaurants near by, and several in Carolina Beach as well. It was a wonderful mini-vacation (3 nights/4 days)! The condo was very clean, with all amenities - coffee maker/all working kitchen appliances, comfortable furniture and beds, sheets and towels freshly laundered and packaged. It was quiet, with a beautiful view (the ocean almost came right up to the condo underneath the balcony at high tide), and the large balcony was so nice! The rental agency was accommodating and made it so easy to check in and out. A sweet lady met me on the porch of the rental office with all of my paperwork. We actually could have had total access to the recreation center across the street from the condo, but the weather was so perfect we spent the whole time on the balcony or on the beach. Thank you to the owners and Bryant Real Estate for providing such a nice retreat from everyday life!
