The location of this house was perfect! It felt like we had our own private beach in front of the house, not crowded at all. We were able to bring our two small dogs which was wonderful, they had plenty of grass area and all tile/hardwood throughout the unit. Nice distance from Kure Pier, Fort Fisher beach, and the aquarium (which we recommend visiting all three very highly!). The house was very nice, great size, and overall clean enough. It could use a few minor improvements but nothing major, such as we had to clean dirt from the drawers before using them, and the blinds in the master bedroom were broken, but overall very happy and would stay again.
