Great view But Needs Work
This is indeed a top floor unit with 4flights of steps so very challenging for older folks but a great view of the ocean. Literally steps away from the balcony and a very short walk to the access ramp and you are on the beachThis unit needs some serious sprucing up. Nothing was especially dirty but some elbow grease and fixing up should be evident at the beginning of summer. The only clothes closet available is in the master bedroom. It was piled up with mops, old rugs, some type of hardware, a step stool, gallons of stuff to add to the shower dispenser and even a toilet plunger! I moved as much as I could to the washer dryer areaBoth sliding glass doors had so much dirt on the runners, it took a lot of muscle to open and close them. The light/fan overhead unit in guest bedroom didn’t work and was filthyOne switch in there stopped workingThe pool is nearby and was very nice although there were no tables but there was a nice covered pavilion next to itThe indoor pool was big but water was pretty cold. The hot tub was broken until last two days and then it was only mildly warm and not very deep

Great location
The unit is exactly as pictured. The patio deck and furniture are exactly what is needed to enjoy the Ocean view. The interior was very clean and had everything needed. AC worked perfectly. Would recommend this unit to friends.The honest cons because I think giving 5 star doesn’t help future renters. The larger bed in bunk room is ok, could be a little nicer/comfortable for price and minimal stay requirement. However, those under 25 won’t even notice! The storm door swung opposite direction as entry door and the code pad with turning two different locks and handles is awkward. No problem if you have both hands empty. Not a big deal but easy fix could make this better for renters.Overall, you will not be disappointed with your stay!

Perfect location, easy beach and pool access, and the condo itself was perfect for us and our family. The owners were super friendly and communication with them was great!

Sleepy Kure Beach
Really nicely appointed little place. Couple of small issues but nice place. Be prepared to hike up 3 flights with luggage and groceries. Blinds were well used and sliding doors to the oceanfront deck were hard to slide and the hardware to lock them was completely missing. Aside from that, the place is very hogh quality. You can tell they spent good money to do the place. Call iTrip Vacations to rent this place and avoid all the VRBO fees.
