"We enjoyed our January stay at Next Time Down! The living and dining area were very comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The location was awesome and we had fun with easy visits to the beach and short drives to Fort Fisher sightseeing, the aquarium, and the ferry to Southport. The windows needed a good cleaning inside and out which slightly obstructed the gorgeous view, and the shower heads need replacing (we ended up with very disappointing luke warm showers after some chilly days on the beach!!), and the pillows could all use refreshing. All in all it was a nice stay. Thank you very much!"

"Copied from previous e-mail sent Sunday.
Hello. I just wanted to let you know about a couple of issues at Next Time Down.
During our stay this week, the shower curtain rod in the upstairs bath fell down. It looks like it was just held up by foam stickies on the ends that aren’t sticky enough anymore. It’s not a “tension rod” type that holds itself on. Also, the middle bed frame support bar for the downstairs double bed fell off. The two-piece bar was being held together by a couple of plastic zip ties that broke. The little clamp that should hold it together no longer functions, it appears. Without any middle support, it made the mattress too uncomfortable to sleep in, but fortunately, we had an extra bed upstairs that we could use. The stoppers in both of the main floor bath do not pop up enough to drain the water. You have to manually hold them up to let the water completely drain down.
Just wanted to let you know about these things that will need to be repaired.
This was our sixth time at this house, but the first in 21 years, now with our grandchildren.
We’d like to come back sometime, especially since this week was ruined by the tropical storm."

"Great place to stay!! The location was perfect, very quiet and peaceful. Having bed rooms on 3 separate floors was very helpful as we had small children with us and 3 families. Kitchen has everything you would need to cook for a group. Big windows for the amazing ocean view."

"Great Location - We loved the location in that it was about halfway between Ft. Fisher and Carolina Beach boardwalk and right on the beach!. The pictures are spot on in terms of the how newly remodeled the property is, with new flooring, counters, paint, etc. We also loved the second living area downstairs, which allowed folks to watch different shows on TV's without being sequestered to our rooms. Our only issue with the property was the beds, they seemed small for queens and mattresses where too firm, most of the older adults, myself included, woke up with stiff backs. Also, some of the dining table chairs were a bit wobbly, although not a major concern as we typically only ate maybe one meal a day as a group. All-in-all, I would stay here again, although I might bring a bed wedge and my own pillows next time."

"We had a great stay at this house. The view is just amazing and it was wonderful to drink coffee on the porch or be a few steps from a walk on the beach. The house is three floors which gave everyone space to chill out if they didn't feel like hanging out in a group and watching March Madness basketball! The house was very clean, a well stocked kitchen (I think there were like 3 different coffee makers!), and comfy furniture to lounge around in the living room. Our only feedback is that the beds didn't match the listing. We thought there were several queen size beds but the only queen was on the bottom floor. The rest of the beds seemed to be full beds which meant we had to do some switching around from our original plan of who got what room. Overall, we would come back!"

"Great Well Stocked House - Lovely house, much nicer than we imagined. Well stocked for the fall with many blankets and throws. Very clean and newly renovated. Kitchen had adequate inventory for any cooking needs. We loved the location, and the beach access is great. We all want outdoor covered seating, and this was perfect with two levels of covered outdoor seating. Would love to return--this was our first visit to Kure Beach and we will be sure to return. Beds were made prior to our arrival--a very nice bonus. Only suggestion--perhaps some new bed pillows, and consider a closed outdoor shower at some point. Thanks for a lovely and perfect fall week."

"Wonderful stay! - We had such a wonderful time! The house and location were exactly what we were hoping for. The home was even nicer than in the pictures! The property management company was great and quick to respond to all my questions. They let us know that the home was ready a little early to check in and also contacted us towards the end of the week to let us know the home was available for an extra day if we wanted to rent it…which we did! We will definitely be back!"

"The stay was fantastic!!! The only thing I would have like to have had would have been how to work the living room TV. I could not get spectrum to turn on nor could I log-in to any of the streaming apps. Otherwise everything was fantastic! My MIL needs a wheelchair when she gets tired and she was able to get around in the house on the second story! If their was a ramp added to get in the house and if the ramp was wider as it got toward the house this house would be easily wheelchair accessible!!!"

"The views and the private beach access can't be beat! Absolutely stunning. - Our stay really was great. This is our 5th vacation to Kure and we love it there. The beach access was perfect and not too crowded. The weather was perfection so we got to enjoy a lot of beach time. The location made it easy for morning coffee runs, or dinner out. Plus, it was just a short drive to the farmers market and our favorite ice cream shop. We took full advantage of the deck seating which accommodated all of us easily. The being said, although the kitchen is fully stocked with tons of small appliances, dishes and pots and pans, there was not any place to store grocery items so the counter bar top was always full. For 10 people, we had a lot of food. The furniture in the dining and living room need an update. The sofa was falling apart and not very comfortable to sit in. The table legs kept coming loose, making it wobbly and the chairs have seen better days. These are things we can live with for a beach side rental. I think the biggest complaint for everyone staying with us was how uncomfortable the mattresses were. There are memory foam mattresses that are a few hundred each that would have made sleeping an absolute dream."
