The Ocean Park Boardwalk, Park, and Pavilion are conveniently located less than a 1 minute walk away.

This southern part of Pleasure Island is a little less crowded than the northern end, so traffic is not as bad and the beaches are less crowded.

Great week at Kure Beach . Rained some , but we still enjoyed the beach so much

This was perfect for our bi-annual family beach trip. We usually pick a different beach to explore, but Kure was the unanimous family favorite. The hosts are in the area and very accessible if needed
5.0
We had a great stay at this property. Plenty of room for a large family group of 10 with the 3 separate levels and 5 bedrooms. Everyone loved how close and easy the walk was to the beach and restaurants, stores, and pier. Everything we needed was there and check in and out were a breeze. The owners are very attentive and checked in with us by text to make sure everything was ok. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Great location. Owners are very friendly & communication is excellent.
5.0
We had a wonderful time during our stay in Kure Beach, and Pelican’s Retreat was a fantastic home base. The spacious house easily accommodated our party of 7 adults and 2 teens with plenty of room to spread out. There were some minor scuffs on the house typical of a beach rental that sees lots of guests, but the owners show a lot of love for the house. We had a maintainer issue upon check-in and the owners were very responsive and thoughtful with the repair.
Kitchen worked well enough - we were able to cook several dinners for our group throughout the week. Gas grill was great to have as well.
The best part of this rental is LOCATION! Such easy beach access and convenient to all the Kure restaurants. The town is lovely - safe and clean!
Grocery stores are nearby, and the nearby aquarium is a treasure. We hope to visit again soon!

Our family loves Kure beach, and this house was a perfect location for us. It is steps away from the beach, and the Kure boardwalk, which has some cute little shops.
The house was clean and well stocked. We appreciated some of the starter spices and kitchen supplies as well.
We had a great stay.

The house was beautiful! Such a good location to walk to restaurants. The beach is just minutes away. Would highly recommend and would stay there again. The owners were so easy to work with and responded quickly. Loved it!
5.0
There was more than enough room for 10 of us. 6 adults and 4 children. Very family friendly. 5 minute walk to beach. Short walk to pier and restaurant. Plenty to do around the area. Clean and well appointed. Zandra was so helpful and a great host! I would definitely go back.
5.0
Our weekend was mostly cold and rainy--but it didn't matter. We played games, snagged a few hours on the beach when we could, and had a great time. The description says 10-12 people and that was accurate. We all had our own beds with plenty of bathrooms; we found the kitchen adequate for a couple of cooked meals plus breakfasts. Plenty of games available, lots of beach toys. The owner responded instantly and made sure we were happy during the weekend. Definitely would stay here again with my family.
5.0
Everything was good. No problems really nice place.

This home was great! It has tons of space with everything you need for a young child! It was easy to cook in the kitchen but if you want to eat out you can walk to several great places as well and there is tons of info on hand of the local restaurants. The owners have really done a great job of having everything you may need and tons of info on hand so your stay is amazing!

Our family had a great experience at Pelican's Retreat. The owners stayed in constant communication with me prior to start of the trip but once we arrived we were so impressed with the home, amenities and location. Our first time visting Kure Beach and we already planning our next visit. We honored my sweet grandmother Rosa Rose the week since she grew up in NC and passed December 2021. However, we made sure it was memorable for our mom.
5.0
Property is as advertised. Very clean and the owners were in constant contact in regards to any issues and providing information. The property is clean and in a very convenient location. A short walk across the road and you are at the beach. A few restaurants are just a 2-3 minute walk down the street. The aquarium and Ft Fisher are about a 5 minute drive. I would highly recommend this rental.

This is a great house with lots of bedrooms and baths on 3 floors. Everyone can be together and not feel on top of each other! The beds were comfortable and the A/C was cool which is saying a lot for the super hot week that we stayed there!😎 Less than 2 minutes to beach access makes it a perfect location! 10 Stars!!!

Perfect Location, Great Communication
This is THE best location of all of the places we’ve stayed when we’ve visited Kure Beach…and we’ve visited a lot. We can see the ocean and the pier from the front balconies. Zandra was a great host. She made sure we were comfortable during our stay and was very communicative. The dryer went out during the previous guest’s stay. Zandra replaced both the washer and the dryer during our stay…and didn’t inconvenience us at all. If you’re looking for great hosts and super location then this is the place for you!
