Sweet Cabana

My wife and daughter spent the week at the sweet cabana. We had an amazing time! Just a short walk to Kure beach on North Carolinas amazing coastline. Property was perfect great location for beach, restaurants and local events. Thursday night live band and fireworks at Carolina beach was a great take. We would definitely recommend this location and go back again!

Great location

The location is amazing. Only a 5 minute walk to beach and that was with a toddler. The communication with the host was amazing. She even allowed us to check in a little early! Please be aware that to enter the bathroom, you must go through a bedroom. I did read about the bathroom entrance from another user so we were aware prior to our visit. The shower in the bathroom is the tiniest shower I have ever used. The outside shower is great when coming in from the beach and much roomier. The charcoal grill was useful for making hamburger & hotdogs after a day at the beach however I needed to clean it because it was full of used charcoal and greasy. In the host defense, it may have been used by the other couple staying on the other side of the duplex. The beach toys and chairs that were available were rusty and dirty. We ended up buying our own toys and just used our towels to sit on the sand. For the price, location and great communication from the host, it is overall well worth it.

Great host, perfect location for a small group

Host was super accommodating and responded very fast to our last minute inquiries. The place is basically 2 blocks from the beach- an easy, nice flat walk. The outdoor shower was a great place to shower after the beach. Host even has pet shampoo in there if you need to wash off your pup! Kitchen had salt, pepper, veggie oil, and all the utensils, pots, pans, plates if you're cooking. Oven and stove top are small so dont plan to do a roast, and there is no dishwasher, so plan to wash dishes by hand. Neighbors were nice, location feels very safe. Some things to note: Didnt bother us, but the shower inside the house is very small (i am 5'2" and had to take care so that my elbows didnt smack the walls). Also note that the layout of the bedrooms is such that one has to walk through one of the other 2 bedrooms to get to the back bedroom, and accessing the bathroom requires you to always walk through one of the other bedrooms. We had a wonderful stay.

sweet place to stay

The "Sweet Cabana" was such a great place for me, my friend, and our daughters. It was super close to the beach. The girls played in the Kure BEach Sand Soccer Tournament and this location was super convenient for that as well. The beds were comfy. We would love to go back!

Birthday weekend

Overall very nice property! The bathroom is located between all three rooms so you have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to it. Would be fine for a family but was slightly awkward to use with a group of friends. Location was perfect and very close to the beach! Would definitely recommend staying here and host was very helpful and accommodating.

Long weekend

We had a great time at Sweet Cabana! We brought our daughter and her friend for a short getaway before school starts and this was the perfect location. The cabana was clean and had everything we needed down to beach supplies. The neighbors were friendly and offered suggestions on things to do. Overall, it was a great stay!

Best beach stay ever

From the ease of the check in process to the friendliness of the hosts. The hosts were more than welcoming and even gave little tips to help make the vacation even better! The house was clean and well stocked to help with not having to remember everything to take with you! The beds were comfy and clean! The outdoor shower is a must to try when staying! We will definitely be back

The duplex is in a nice neighborhood

The duplex is in a nice neighborhood and close to the beach, a very short walk. The community has many options for both food and entertainment. It has only a small area to gather when not in one of the bedrooms and no dining table to share a meal. The dishes were not clean (dusty). The bedroom with the sliding door got very hot at night making it difficult to sleep. It would have been nice given the price if they had quality toilet paper. However even with these issues it was a satisfactory experience.

Fantastic stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Cabana! The neighborhood was quiet and very friendly. Everything was updated and very comfortable for our group of four, and the outdoor shower was a great addition. We walked to the beach every night and enjoyed the local restaurants and stores very much. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family visiting the area!

We loved our stay at the Cabana!

This property was exactly what my family of four (two adults, one kid, and our doggo) needed for a quick beach getaway. The location couldn't be more perfect -- it takes maybe five minutes to walk to the beach! And with its proximity to Fort Fisher, we visited the NC Aquarium and were able to take our dog to the beach. Kure Beach is a lovely town and this property is a great way to enjoy it. The outdoor shower is A++++!

Terra(host) was great...we had a little problem with power on arrival and the next day, so I contacted her & she immediately contacted their electrician who came by within 30 minutes, then Duke Energy was also contacted and she also came by herself to make sure the problem was fixed which was nothing to do with the place it was all Duke Energy and for our trouble she left a gift card for dinner in the mailbox the next morning. ..we had a wonderful time, location was great...we also LOVED the outside shower and the beds were super comfy...we will definitely stay again and you will not find a nicer host!!!

Cute, Quaint Cabana

We enjoyed our stay at the "Sweet Cabana". The location was a short walk from the beach, pier, and restaurants. You have everything you need without getting into the car which is a great perk! We had 5 people altogether and the size worked out perfect for us. The outdoor shower was fantastic, it had hot and cold water. We only stayed 2 nights so we just wish we had more time.
