Lorraine’s Beach Cottage is a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach home just one block from the beautiful shores of Kure Beach! Conveniently located near the Kure Beach Pier, this welcoming retreat combines coastal charm with thoughtful updates and space for the whole family to relax and enjoy their beach getaway.




Step inside to find an open-concept living area filled with natural light and designed with comfort in mind. The ranch-style layout means no stairs to climb, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the home. The living room offers a Smart TV, games, and a selection of books for a little beachside reading. There’s room for everyone at mealtime, with indoor dining for six and additional seating for six on the patio. Little ones have their own space with children’s toys, books, and a table with seating for four.




The three bedrooms offer plenty of storage and space to unwind after a day in the sun. The primary bedroom features a king bed, a chair that converts to a twin bed, and a private ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has a king bed, while the third bedroom includes a full bed, Smart TV, and dedicated desk space. A second full bathroom serves the rest of the home. Fresh linens and towels are included with the cleaning fee.




The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. Enjoy eating at the counter, the dining table, or head out to the spacious screened-in porch for a relaxing evening. With a gas grill ready for family cookouts, the porch is a wonderful spot to enjoy the coastal breeze. A large driveway with off-street parking adds even more convenience to your stay. With its easy one-level layout, family-friendly touches, and location just a short stroll from the beach, Lorraine’s is a lovely home base for making lasting beach memories!




This property also features a separate 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit on the opposite side of the garage, which is not included in this listing. The two units have no shared spaces, allowing each to enjoy their own privacy. Traveling with a larger group? Renting both units is a great way to enjoy additional space while staying together!

Great location by the beach!

Lorraine's Cottage had plenty of room for our family of four, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all the cookware we needed. We loved having the screened porch and the location was fantastic, with super close beach access and restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. We would definitely stay again.

Great location!

I can’t say enough good things about this location. Last year we stayed in the house attached to this one. We enjoyed both but this one slightly more as our kids have gotten bigger. The location is perfect! One block from the beach, restaurants, pier, and just a short drive to Carolina beach for an adventure. House very stocked and accommodating!

Great beach week

Lorraine’s Cottage provided the perfect place for us to spend a week at Kure Beach. The space is warm and inviting, with lovely coastal decor. Everything was sparkling clean when we arrive. The place is right around the corner from a convenient store that has everything. And is a two block walk from the beach and from great restaurants. Could not have asked for a better stay.

March Vacay!

Our stay at Lorraine’s Beach Cottage was perfect! The location is very convenient to entertainment, the beach, convenience store, etc. The home is very clean and well kept. Most homes have limited and small parking, but the drive way was large enough for all vehicles and off the street to not worry about being hit. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to feel at home. We will definitely be coming back and recommending Lorraine’s to everyone.

Best Place to Stay in Kure Beach!

Wow! Can’t say enough good things about Lorraine’s Beach Cottage! It’s clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you would put in your own beach house! From a screened-in porch with a table and chairs and a hammock to a children’s play corner and a huge, well stocked kitchen with plenty of room for the family to hang out. It is conveniently located - it’s just a short block from the beach and near plenty of restaurants and activities. The spacious driveway was great especially for loading and unloading the car. Owner and property management are top notch! Highly recommended!!!

Beautiful house, perfect location!

Lorraine's Beach Cottage was a great house for my family! We had 4 adults, 2 kids (7 and 4) and a senior, and everyone had plenty of room to sleep and relax at the house, with very easy access to the beach. The house is large and filled with light, and the owners (who are extremely kind and responsive) provide numerous beach amenities (cart, chairs, umbrella, cooler). The porch and hammock are especially nice for hanging out in the early morning or after the beach. And we loved being right in the middle of town. It was super fun and convenient to be able to grab the kids an ice cream after the beach, visit the pier, get a good meal in a restaurant, and enjoy the July 4 fireworks on the beach (all of which we did) with just a short walk. Highly recommended!

Perfect quick getaway!

There were 6 adults and a one infant, and we never felt crowded. Well equipped kitchen, Loved the coffee pot with option for full carafe of coffee or individual pots. The screened porch and hammock were great. Our granddaughter, only 3 months, loved being rocked on the hammock. It's a very short walk to the beach. Quiet side of the beach area, rarely heard anyone else while enjoying the porch. Good selection of books and games. Highly recommend.

Lorraine’s cottage review

We had a lovely time at the cottage, the setup was very comfortable, and the kids area was really appreciated! We loved the porch and hammock , and spent time both in and out! All bedrooms were really comfortable, and the kitchen space was great, we cooked a few nights, and the work space was really comfortable . The only suggestion I have is that a full length mirror be placed somewhere in the main house, and I would note that I believe the water discolors items, I laundered a linen blouse that came out discolored, I am sure it will wash out, but you may want to note this near the washer. On that note, all signage throughout the house and info in the book was really appreciated ! As well, response time regarding any issue sent via text was very quick and appreciated as well!

We will never stay anywhere else!

A part of me doesn’t want y’all to know how amazing this place is because then it might be booked up when we want to come back ha! Lorraine’s Beach Cottage was PERFECT. Let’s talk location first. The quickest walk to the beach, the sweetest playground, cute local restaurants and ice cream and coffee shops. We were there the 4th of July week and expected it to be crowded, but we always got a spot on the beach with a direct view of the water and plenty of space to spread out all the things you need on the beach with a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. Super short driving distance to the coolest aquarium and in the other direction, Carolina Beach which had a much busier feel, but so many things to do and places to eat (all listed in Lorraine’s recommendation guide which is so handy!) The house itself was perfect. Plenty of space for my family of 4. My kids loved the little play area in the living room with a cute little table and lots of books, puzzles, blocks, and coloring books. The beds were so comfortable. The sheets and towels smelled so clean and fresh. The living room had the coolest little vibe to it with the cute white brick fireplace and built in bookshelves for me and my husband to bust a chill post kids bedtime and watch some Netflix and drink wine. The kitchen had all the essentials but I also 10/10 recommended just doing a Publix delivery with lots of premade stuff like we did. The host was so helpful and checked in on us frequently before our trip to make sure we had all we need prep wise. In short, it was amazing. We will be back and can’t imagine going on any other beach trip that isn’t Kure Beach and staying at Lorraine’s Beach Cottage.
