We had the best family vacation ever! Josh was phenomenal! So helpful, genuinely cared, and ensured we had everything we could possibly need! We were able to book two apartments right next to one another, which was a life saver with the kids!!! Everything was so convenient, the boardwalk to Kure Beach Pier, Ocean View Restaurant, Freddie’s, and the Arcade were perfect! The kids could go out and explore, and we knew they were safe. Such a wonderful blessing!!! Thank you so much for making us feel at home!!!
My family’s favorite place to stay when we visit the beach! What a beautiful property. Gorgeous, clean, comfortable rooms and an amazing view! Easy parking and beach access, close to everything. We also love the little goodies they leave as well. I always look forward to our stay here.
Our stay at the Lighthouse was phenomenal from the phone call to the moment we entered the room. All of our accommodation was met. We had fireworks for the New Year's Eve watches them right from our balcony.
Our stay has been so relaxing, fun and enjoyable. Easy access to the beach and just a short walk from activities and restaurants. The room was beautiful and neatly organized, very clean! I would stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to visit Kure Beach. You will not be disappointed! I included two photos taken from the board walk in front of The Lighthouse.

WOW! We stayed at the Lighthouse last minute this past weekend and the entire stay was luxury and top notch. We booked our stay the day of and Joshua was so easy to work with. He made the registration process extremely easy and there is something nice about being able to go right to your room without having to wait or check in. - It was just my wife and I, and we ended up in a double queen on the second floor. Its hard to describe how nice everything felt walking in, because it was more of a feeling. The onsite parking made it easy to pull up and unload, and we ended up walking everywhere after that. We went to Freddie's for dinner and then ended up going to the pier for some popcorn and ice cream. When we got back in the evening, we talked to another family that was getting married the next day in the common area with fire pit. After that, we sat on the front porch right on the ocean and talked for hours. - The next day, we woke up to the sunrise (see pic). The bed was so comfortable, we never even had to get out of bed to watch the sun come up over the ocean. We spent a few hours on the front porch again watching the sun come up and the town come to life over a cup of coffee. - Even though there was 9 rooms and they were full, it almost felt as if we had the place to ourself. Such an amazing short trip and we will for sure have to make another. - Pros: -Registration/check in/check out really easy -Rooms smelled great -Included waters, coffees, and snacks -Beds are luxury, pillows were perfect -Very nice rain shower in the bathroom -Towels were soft -Included a sound machine which was a nice touch! -Climate controlled to your liking -Cool common area -Amenities room with snacks, water, coffee, ice, etc. -Outside shower/rinse off station. -Walk to the beach, to dinner, to the arcade, etc. You could literally park your car at the Lighthouse and not have to drive the entire week -VIEWS - Cons: -None, thanks for an amazing trip!
Spacious room, nicely decorated, we relaxed and loved it!! Property has been well furnished with high quality features and thoughtful details!
My fiancé surpised me by booking this stay here at Kure Beach and wow!! The view, atmosphere and overall quality of our stay was a 12/10. Joshua helped made our time here very smooth and relaxing. It was also our first time at Kure Beach NC and it was very amazing to see everyone here so kind and welcoming!! We definitely 1000% recommend The Lighthouse experience at Kure Beach :-)
The accommodations were clean, breathtaking view of the ocean, modern, and amenities were ample . Loved the area and the unit. Josh was an excellent person to communicate with. Very accommodating and easily accessible. I had an emergency and was in the hospital for my original stay and I was able to change it to the following week . We loved it so much there we added an extra day. If we are able we definitely would return.
