The house is so close to the Kure Beach pier and it's across the street from a new boardwalk to the beach. The owners were very responsive to issues with the AC, as the first guests of the season, there were some kinks to work out. The ad says sleeps 16, but it's really 15, and that's if you put 2 on an older pullout couch on the second floor. Important to realize you have to use outdoors steps to get to the second floor. Kitchen, dining and living room are quite small if you max out the occupancy but we figured it out. Had a wonderful weekend with our girl scout troop and the beach was just gorgeous. Thank you for hosting us in this lovely beach house!
