Ocean Dunes 1903

Everything was great with the house. Weather was great and the beach was perfect for a relaxing family vacation. Overall great experience.

This house has wonderful bones, is in a wonderful location, and has beautiful views of the ocean. Unfortunately, it was also the filthiest and poorly maintained property our family has ever had the (mis)fortune of renting.Immediately upon walking in to the main level, our family noticed a broken floor tile, hole in the wall, dented dryer, & crushed bugs on the living room carpet. There was a brownish sludgy substance caked under the shelves of the fridge. All of the vents showed age & rust. What appeared to have formerly been a vanity copper sink in the bar area was rusted over. None of that would be worth noting if they were the only issues. Unfortunately, this home carried some legitimate health issues for our group - which contained a mix of adults and children with autoimmune & other health issues. The basement in the home at check in was 90% humidity, reeked of mildew, & the bedroom on that floor was unusable throughout our stay due to the overpowering odor. The upstairs master bedroom smelled of & had visible mold on the walls and ceiling of the closet. Property management’s solution was to treat it with bleach, primer, and run a humidifier from the master closet to the master bath sink all week. This caused the master bathroom and bedroom to reak of mold all week. The electricity frequently flickered in the home when plugging things in. Property guest services manager was supposed to call me & I’m still waiting for that call. Definitely steer clear!

We came back to Kure beach for the first time in 10 years. There were 10 adults, a teenager, and an infant. The house had plenty of space (including the kitchen and bedrooms) for all of us, and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. The ocean views were great, and we spent a lot of time sitting on the decks. The only negatives about the house were the number of cockroaches that we saw, inside and out on the deck, and the musty like smell down in the bottom level. Although the beach is right in the backyard, swimming and boogie boarding was difficult due to the rockiness' of the area. We had to move down the beach for these activities. If you are looking to simply walk in the water, you will be fine here. We also could have benefitted with having additional outdoor trash containers. With our numbers we generated a lot of trash and recycling, but our neighbors decided to use our containers as well, so this created somewhat of a mess on our last day.

This was one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in - 100% recommended. You’ll be blown away from the moment you walk in

We visited during a topical depression. It rained every day except the day we were checking out. Unit should definitely invest in new mattress. Had a lot of downtime but it was nice being able to just sit and relax without all the hustle and bustle of usual vacations.
