The Dow House was super cute, super clean, and felt just like home. The hosts were very quick to respond with any questions we had. The outdoor seating was very comfortable and the kids loved running around out back. It felt like home away from home!!- Posted: 7/21/2024

This was an adorable beach cottage. It had everything for my family of 3. The beach was a short walk. Neighbors were friendly. We enjoyed grilling out back in the fenced in backyard, sitting on the front porch and getting cozy in the living room at night. We would stay here again for sure!- Posted: 5/28/2024
Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed our beach cottage and had a great time with your family. We look forward to hosting you again!Carolina Beach Realty staff

Great little house tucked into a nice neighborhood. Bring your beach cruiser's and you can access the entire town via bicycle to avoid the high parking fees. Make sure you bring your beach towels, etc. as there is nothing extra in the cottage. The beds were extremely comfortable and the house was immaculate. Awesome experience!- Posted: 5/21/2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you had a positive experience at our charming house nestled in a lovely neighborhood. We're pleased to hear you found the beds exceptionally comfortable and the house spotless. Your note about bringing beach towels and essentials is duly noted.

It’s a very cute listing. Good light, location, and nice back patio. It’s close to a tiki bar on the pier that I like. The greenway is two blocks west and great for a bike ride or run.- Posted: 4/19/2024
Thank you for staying with us, Michael! We are pleased you had a great stay with us! We highly recommend the greenway, so this home is perfect if you're interested in being close to there! We hope you keep us in mind for future vacations!Carolina Beach Realty staff

Loved this little cottage home! Easy access to the beach, a street or so away. Private and peaceful neighborhood. Kure Beach is very underrated compared to other beaches in NC. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you, Carolina Beach Realty.- Posted: 8/10/2023
Thank you for your wonderful review, Marvin! We are so glad you enjoyed this home so much! We hope you had a peaceful and relaxing vacation staying with us. We hope to see you again soon!Carolina Beach Realty staff

Very cozy and comfortable little house. The combination of the charming decor and the older style of the house was very tasteful. This is a great house for a small number of guests. The location is convenient - on a small street away from the main road, and yet there is less than a 5 minute walk to a public beach access and about one mile to a few restaurants, ice cream places and a local grocery store by the pier in Kure Beach. I would stay there again.- Posted: 3/18/2023
Thank you for the great review, Doug! Thank you for staying with us at The Dow House. It is wonderful to hear you were comfortable in this home and enjoyed the surrounding area. We hope to welcome you back to this home soon!Carolina Beach Realty staff

lovely stay with family at Kure
Lovely and cosy place to stay in a quiet neighborhood and just 5 mins walk to the beach. The house is full equipped and tastefully decorated with a nice ‘homish’ flavor. We enjoyed our stay and I can only recommend the place if you want to relax and spend quality time with the family.- Posted: 8/19/2022
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear that you felt at home during your stay with us. We hope to see you in the future!Carolina Beach Realty staff
