Great location!

Short walk across the street to the public beach access and right in-between fort fisher and Carolina beach activities. Located in a quiet area for the family but with plenty of restaurants and places to explore for a weekend getaway. Lots of room for an extended family stay and basic amenities supplied. Be sure to bring your own shower supplies! Overall, great stay!

Perfect for large families!

The house was perfect for our large family! Nice to have multiple decks for the teens and adults to have different spaces if we wanted. Love the open floor plan and having 3.5 baths was awesome! The location is perfect and just a short walk across the street to beach access. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Great location and room for everyone!

Property was clean, and well situated. Close to the beach and activities, but not too close! Far enough from businesses that it is quiet at night. Some activities we enjoyed: ferry to Southport, fishing with Oak Island Fishing Charters and at the Kure Beach Fishing Pier, visiting the Aquarium at Fort Fisher and boogie boarding at the brach's. at Firt Fisheraand

This property definitely lived up to its description. It is a very comfortable house and accommodated our three families quite well. It is conveniently located to many of the places we always enjoy visiting. My husband and I enjoyed the front porch on a daily basis. It was an added bonus to have necessary supplies on hand when we arrived. We would most likely rent here again!

Great little spot

The house has a great layout for multiple family’s and friends. Kids enjoyed the openness of the downstairs and it was easy to access the areas for larger groups. Bathroom situation couldn’t be better. Beach access is pretty close and manageable. Beach was pretty narrow but that isn’t the property owners control. Was very happy with what we got.

Too Good to Be True!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Breath of Heaven was the PERFECT home for my family!! The location was absolutely perfect, the home was the perfect size and had the all of the bedrooms that we needed. The rental was clean and everything seemed to be in good working order. The tub in the Jack and Jill bathroom upstairs did drain a little slow and the games they had available were missing pieces so you couldn’t play them, but that wasn’t a huge deal. We drove to Walmart and bought games. The only recommendation I would have is to sharpen the knives and to get a little more cookware. Overall, the home was perfect and we will stay there every time it’s available.

Felt Like Home

My girlfriend and I were looking for a quick getaway and didn't want to go as far as our usual Florida trip. We decided to give Kure Beach a visit. We knew we would not have beach going weather but thought a trip to the shore would be nice. We had no idea that we would experience torrential rain every day. Nevertheless, we were able to make the best of it because the house was comfortable and had everything we needed to shelter in place. The beds were comfy and every room has a television. The home was very spacious so we could work remotely without disturbing each other. The home was very clean and of course they provided us with fresh linens and towels. The home is on the edge of the major town and we were able to relax on the outskirts while taking advantage of the area restaurants. We were only a block from the beach and could watch the ocean from the windows. We plan on coming back when the weather warms up. Highly recommend this home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great beach house! So many houses can sleep 6-8 people, but only have dining room and living room seating for 4. This house has plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the beach is quick and easy. The deck is wonderful for mornings and evenings. Use of the garage is wonderful for storage of chairs, beach bags, etc. A1 Property Management is absolutely wonderful to work with. They reply so quickly to questions / concerns and are willing to help in any way they can. We’ve booked through A1 for 2 years in a row and have no plans to use anyone else!
