Booked a stay here a few weeks in advance for my daughter's 20th birthday.On the evening before we were supposed to leave I asked if I could pay extra to check in early two hours.I then get a message back at 11 PM stating that they double booked the rental and that they had to cancel my trip.What a terrible experience, especially the night before we were supposed to leave.If I had not sent that message asking if we could check in early, this issue would not have been caught on time and we would've showed up with someone else trying to check in at the same time.

The property exceeded our expectations, and worked well for 2 grandparents and 2 teen girls. The beds were comfy and it was close to the beach (great beach chairs etc.) and activities for the girls. They liked the modern remodel.

Family beach trip

This house was perfect for our family of 4! It isn’t the biggest place in town but has the perfect amount of space and the best location/view. The private boardwalk to the beach was great. The outdoor shower was much needed after days at the beach.

Kure Beachfront Oasis

This property was perfect for our family of four! It was beautifully decorated, very cozy, and had everything we needed for the week. We loved staying ocean front and the beach was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed exploring what Kure, Carolina Beach, and Fort Fischer had to offer as they were all very close. The hot tub was a bonus too!

Perfect couple getaway

Our stay at Summer Lovin was just right. We love the quiet neighborhood, and being so close to the dunes and the ocean. The kitchen was just right for cooking for two, and the living space was very comfortable. We came in the very hot time of year, and the air conditioning systems work great. But so fun to run up and jump in the ocean! Beautiful place and very cozy. Jesse & Baily
