Andrea’s Place is a beautiful home, but if anyone in your party may have difficulty navigating some pretty perilous stairs, it’s not the place for you.
My brother-in-law fell down the stairs and broke his heel on the first day of our visit. My mother also nearly fell a couple of times. The owner should install a second railing to provide better safety for guests. They should also note in the description that the three flights of stairs may be difficult for some to navigate.
That being said, the beach house is very nice and spacious.
There are tons of games in the kitchen cabinet (though some are missing parts as to be expected with an STR). There’s a ping-pong table in the garage along with a couple of bikes and a bike-like cart. There’s also a wheelbarrow-like thing to cart your stuff to the beach. It had a few sand toys in it. We also left behind a beach chair, but there aren’t any others. If you can, bring your own. There was also a beach umbrella, but it was broken. If you park too close to the garage door, you may have trouble getting things out of the garage.
The beach house does NOT provide beach towels. We’ve been renting beach places for years, and this is the first one that did not provide beach towels.
There were a few Styrofoam coolers that were left by past guests.
Each room has a Roku TV that you can log onto your streaming services with.
The management company asks you to download an app to get information about the place. It had the incorrect WiFi information, which created some confusion in the beginning, but then we realized the info on the fridge was correct.
The home is about a block from the beach and maybe three or so blocks from the pier.
Kure Beach doesn’t have much to offer in terms of eating out, especially during the week when places close early.
Because of my brother-in-law’s injury, we weren’t able to do a lot of things we’d planned to do, but we were able to rent jet skis one day at Carolina Beach State Park. I highly recommend it.
