About this property

Surf & Sun Haven: Steps to Sea-Clusion

Sea Clusion: Family-Friendly Oasis Just 2 Blocks from the Beach

Welcome to your home-away-from-home in Kure Beach! This inviting 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is perfectly situated just two blocks from a safe, family-friendly beach—ideal for building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, or simply soaking up the sun. Step outside and you’re moments from a vibrant mix of local restaurants, charming shops, and classic beachside attractions. The historic Kure Beach Fishing Pier—famous for its serene ocean views and excellent fishing—is just a short stroll away. Nearby, Ocean Front Park offers a pirate-themed playground and swings, perfect for kids and relaxing afternoons. For history and nature lovers, the renowned Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum are close by, while the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher promises hours of fun and discovery for all ages. Looking for more adventure? The lively Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with its vintage rides, arcades, and legendary Britt’s Donuts, is a quick drive away. And when it’s time to explore beyond the shore, downtown Wilmington—with its riverfront, shops, and historic charm—is only a short drive north, as is the Wilmington International Airport for easy arrivals and departures. Relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories in this cozy, convenient beach retreat!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom.

The host communicated well with us. Even texted to say we could check in a little early since the place was ready. Was close to the beach with easy access to public beach access.

Very comfortable and conveniently located unit. The street is very close to the main drag but extremely quiet. There’s also a genuine neighborhood feel, which was a great and unexpected bonus.

Good location. Kitchen well stocked (pots and pans to cook). Pet friendly. Not the coziest place. Minimal bathroom amenities, 2 towels and some bars of soap. Floors were dirty. Things were fine.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Pros: The unit was cozy, pet-friendly, and in a great location. Beach access was only about two blocks away, which made it very easy to walk to the beach each day. The beach is always relaxing for us, so being that close was a big plus.Cons: The air conditioning units in both the bedroom and living area were very loud, the living area unit kept turning on and off throughout the night, which made it difficult to sleep. We couldn’t turn them off because it was very hot during our stay.The biggest issue was the noise from the unit upstairs. We could hear nearly every step and movement, and at times it sounded like a herd of cattle walking around. Unfortunately, it made relaxing in the unit difficult.The bathroom had no counter or shelf space, so there was nowhere to put toiletries, hair products, or a curling iron except the toilet tank which isn’t ideal. A small shelf would make a big difference. There were also no rugs or mats anywhere, and a rug in the living area would help as sand easily accumulates when you’re coming back from the beach. The living room was cozy but lacked a small table to set down a drink, phone, or keys.Dining options nearby were limited, but Carolina Beach is about 10 minutes away with more restaurants. Just be aware that many places close around 9 PM.Overall, the location was great, but due to the noise from the upstairs unit and a few comfort issues, we likely would not stay here again.

The location was perfect! We loved our stay — especially being able to bring our pup along. The unit was super clean and, for the most part, had everything we needed. Jennifer was very communicative and even offered to leave us a couple of beach chairs to use during our trip, which we really appreciated!Just offering this as a small suggestion to make future stays even better: we would have appreciated a few more bath towels and washcloths, especially since we stayed multiple nights and didn’t have access to laundry. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it!
