Needed a place for us to stay during the move in weekend for our son at UNCW where we could bring our dog. Excellent back yard fenced in for dogs. Thanks!

This house was only a couple mins away from the beach- awesome location ! Loved that is was dog friendly ! Huge fenced in backyard. Indoor shower was tiny but outdoor shower made up for it. When we arrived the trash cans outside were full and smelly - had to move farther away from the main door . Overall great stay though - loved all the ceiling fans in the rooms.

We really enjoyed our time here. Everything was clean and welcoming the owner was very helpful and personable. I you have pets, this is a great place to stay. It has a fully fenced, large backyard our dog loved. Very short walk to the beach. We will definitely book again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It had everything we needed for a weekend getaway, and the location was perfect. It was an easy walk to the beach as well as several restaurants and a coffee shop. The house is cozy, and it’s the perfect size for a small friend group. The ceiling fans are particularly cool, and we loved using the outdoor shower.

We had a good time. The beach was very close to the house. However when we arrived until the time we left there were 1000's of flies due to a fruit tree in the backyard right next to the patio so sitting outback was unpleasant. We did take our dogs with us and when I first got there I checked the perimeter of the fenced in yard to make sure no gaps where dogs could get out and it was perfect and 6ft tall. There were a few piles of dog poop in the yard upon arrival however me being a dog person No big deal. When I checked out the host messaged me within the hour to let me know that she was making a claim due to leaving some dog poop in the back yard and a dog poop smear on the couch cover and it smelling like dog poop and beer in the house. And states she will have to use a diffuser to get the smell out. I may have overlooked a pile or two unintentionally. The couch cover was the kind that is very easy to remove and wash. So I am unsure why that would be a big deal, but again if i would have seen it, I would have cleaned it up. Also, no-one in our group drank any beer in the house at all. We sat at the benches outside for the one night around the firepit and that is where we drank. So again I am unsure how the house would smell like beer. I did leave the remaining of the 12 pk in the fridge. I guess I assumed that the 200 cleaning fee would be to clean and wash the sheets and couch cover. Which mind you I did have one of my sheets over the couch cover. I did pay extra for the protection plan when booking with vrbo. So I am hopeful that a diffuser and the washing of bedding/ couch cover being washed will be covered, as I truly do not think that we caused any damage to the property.

My husband and 2 young boys enjoyed our stay at this comfy beach cottage. Erin was a text away and we were able to check in early, which was really nice. The big fenced backyard was perfect for the kids and our dog. The grill and firepit was stocked, which was an unexpected perk! Other perks included a beach canopy and wagon (don't bother with umbrellas on windy days!), well-stocked kitchen and basic spices, screened porches, and the proximity to restaurants and the beach. The space is perfect for a group of 4-5 inside due to the small shared space and single bathroom, but it suited us well. The beach is not dog-friendly during summer months, but Freeman Park beach is a short drive and welcomes dogs. We look forward to staying at Erin's cottage again!

cute house, well maintained and equipped. We needed the 3 bedrooms but for 6 adult family members, 1 bathroom was not ideal. Outdoor shower was great upon returning from the beach and helped with the bathroom crowd. Somewhat small eating areas for 6 adults unless the weather was good and then the back yard was great. lovely firepit and area to hang out in the back yard

Beach House was perfect - location, accommodations, you name it! Erin was quick to respond, friendly and hospitable. I would certainly recommend and stay again in the future.

We really enjoyed out stay! It was nice to get away to a qauint little house. Loved the fenced in backyard and outdoor shower. Wish there was a washing machine and dryer, but we managed just fine! Will look at staying again in the future!

My family had a great stay here while visiting Kure Beach. While the home is small (it is a cottage, after all), it had everything we were looking for -- separate bedrooms for everyone, a fenced yard for our dog and a short walk to the beach. Everyone loved the outdoor shower. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially for dog people.

Nice

Easy breezy beach house. The yard and porches make the house spacious and we spent most of our time outdoors. The back yard is wonderful and secure for kids or dogs. You can hear the ocean at night. Don’t forget to look up at the stars! The beds are comfortable and all the rooms are a good size. Outdoor shower is a must and we didn’t even bother with the indoor bathroom. Walking distance to coffee, drinks, ice cream and plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. We will be back as I travel to work in NC often.

I really enjoyed this property but I took my 82 year old mother. The rocks out front and shower really presented problems for her. This is a wonderful place for families but if you have someone confined to a wheelchair it is a challenge. Erin is very helpful and this property has everything a family or just friends needs. Thank you Erin.

Cute, quaint and perfect for a weekend getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at Paparasea!! The whole process from renting to checkout was easy and well organized. This property is full of fantastic amenities and comforts… from a beach tent and comfy bath towels to kitchen supplies and a gorgeous outdoor shower in a beautiful backyard. Our communication with the owner was always responded to quickly and graciously. Will definitely be staying here again with my family and our pup!

We loved this property with a large backyard perfect for our dog and with an easy walk to the beach. Great location, quiet street, and loved the backyard and screened in porch. Erin was responsive and helpful!

This house was great! It had a big back yard and an awesome screened in porch on the back and front of the house. The best part was how close it was to the beach and the attractions.

Fabulous setting 1 block from the beach. Beach friendly for your dogs. Erin is awesome. Fenced in yard and fire pit.

Adorable cottage. Bedrooms are larger than I would have expected. Yard is gorgeous. Location fantastic. The indoor shower is a bit quirky, though.

We had an excellent stay at Erin’s home! The location is ideal - just a block from the beach and a short 4 minute walk to the Kure Beach pier. We brought our dogs to the beach and Erin’s place is perfect for traveling with dogs - great outdoor yard, puppy-proofed interior. The home is comfortable and has all the essentials you’ll need for a beach trip. We would love to stay here in the future and highly recommend this home!

Sweet little cottage close to the beach and within walking distance to downtown Kure. Would definitely stay again in the future!

Location was perfect, and place was clean. Our favorite part of Erin’s place is the outdoor shower and backyard fire pit. I also got a chance to talk to Erin and she was super friendly and gave excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants!

My family and I spent an extended weekend here with our dogs and it was absolutely perfect for us. The fenced in yard is a rare find. The entire home was very clean and updated. Also the walk to the beach was much shorter than the listing made it seem. We would absolutely stay again!

Really cute house- cute decor and comfy beds. Great fenced backyard and fire pit. Perfect proximity to beach and restaurants, but also nice and quiet. Great outdoor shower! Loved the screened front porch as well as sleeping porch out back. Appreciated the extras like sand toys, hand soap and coffee filters, etc. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at this little beach cottage. Erin has done a great job updating the house and decorating it so cute! It is about a two block walk from the beach and you can hear the waves at night. The backyard and outdoor shower are perfect for a family and dogs. Communication with Erin was very easy and responsive.

The house was just the right size for 5 adults and a furry child. Two of us were working for part of the time we were there, so I can attest that the WiFi can handle simultaneous Zoom meetings. We would definitely consider this property for any future trips to Kure Beach.

Enjoyed the cozy house, screened in porches and back yard. The residential neighborhood felt great, and the beach was a short, comfortable walk away. We loved the outdoor shower as well!

Loved the backyard

House was really cute. Loved the outdoor shower. Backyard was great for our two pups. Easy walk to the beach, coffee and restaurants. We had a great week!

This was my 1st VRBO rental and vacation in forever…We stayed from 6/19-6/26/21 & I can’t say enough great things about the house, the location and the owners! The biggest booking point for me, was being able to bring my dogs. The house is very dog friendly and the backyard is fenced in and super private and quiet! We don’t have kids, but it would be a fantastic house for kids as well (safe yard, 2 fenced in porches for kid stuff!) There is a TV in the house but we didn’t use it once, we spent most of our time in the yard or the backyard screen in porch – reading, relaxing, talking. There is a firepit, BBQ and an amazing outdoor shower! Inside: the kitchen has what you need – coffee maker, toaster, microwave, plates, cups, forks, etc. We also (like previous guests) left what we didn’t need (water, ketchup, etc, I liked that about the house, instead of wasting – save for the next person!). There are 3 nice sized bedrooms and the beds are comfy. Bathroom, living room (TV is there) – the house is very quiet and the central air worked PERFECT! As an added bonus – both the front and back of the house have very nice sized covered porches. I highly suggest skipping the inside shower and using outside (you’ll thank me later…lol)Location: PERFECT! Quiet block, 1min walk to the beach – maybe 3-5mins to the pier/arcade/restaurants. Hop in the car for a quick drive 1 direction towards Carolina Beach and the other for Fort Fisher (aquarium – fort fisher – 4x4 beach). Quick drive over the bridges to Wilmington & USS Carolina (that was worth the visit!)Owner: Erin is very sweet and accommodating! They were expecting a tropical storm while we were there (we lucked out and nothing happened) – she checked-in about the storm and also needed a vendor to come out (not a big deal) and checked with us first and was so appreciative that we did not mind (why would we, we went to the beach…lol) Tip if you never visited the Carolina Coast – IGNORE THE WEATHER apps! We had more beach days when the app said rain. If it rains, it moves out super quick. I highly recommend this house and can guarantee we will be renters again in a few years! Well worth the trip from NJ to NC!!!!!!
