When I got married at the beach I stay here. Actually my whole family stayed at this whole entire and which has four rooms. The rooms are not huge except number 4. But they serve the purpose and a lot of them have kitchens and all of that. Nancy is the owner and she does a wonderful job of taking care of you. It has a swimming pool and it also has a grill it's just a down-home family type place. It's peaceful and you can feel the love and we love it here. We stay here every time we go to the beach. This place gets booked up really fast so you're going to have to call soon. It is always super clean and she goes out her way to make you feel at home. This is the only place we will stay at in kure Beach.

Our family rented the whole inn for a week. What a pleasure!!!! Couple of blocks from the Kure Beach pier with amazing fishing with friendly people. Having a fenced in yard for the kids was such a security. Our own pool was still convenient. Nancy is so friendly and accommodating. Units are clean and comfortable. Hope to come back again. Kure Beach is such a friendly little community. Highly recommend.

I couldn't of asked for a better last minute place to stay!!! Thank you Nancy for having us and being such a pleasure to meet! We enjoyed our very clean, very comfortable, and very convenient little room! It was more than enough for our quick getaway! We really appreciate you having literally EVERYTHING that we need there! (Kitchen, table, hammock, rocking chairs, fenced area, outside pool, bathroom but very small shower, normal fridge, and just overall clean and tidy) (I would say anyone with a bigger body build may have difficulty maneuvering in the shower, I know some of my family members would so heads up) thank you so very much and we will be back!

if you have to deal with Bryant Realty just go elsewhere. We had to get refund from AirBNB and its ashame that because of Bryant Realty this place is getting a BAD REPUTATION. I would love to stay here but I refuse to deal with Bryant because the pool is closed there's no hot water and out bathroom sink was clogged. The owner doesn't even realize what Bryant is doing to her Beach Realty that has been in her family for may many years. if you know her let her know ASAP. She needs to manage it herself or find a better management facility.
