Vacation Rentals to Check Out in Carolina and Kure Beach

Here are three vacation rentals around Carolina and Kure Beach perfect for staycations, girl's weekends, or exploring the area.

Three vacation rentals really stand out to me in Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. These popular booking spots could be a fabulous weekend away (even if you live in Wilmington) or the perfect place for potential buyers in the area to come and stay. What better way to learn about our community than a beachside retreat?

Here are three places I fell in love with and I know you will too!

The Salty Seahorse

This upscale property has oceanfront views, private beach access, decks, and a unique floor plan with a large, comfortable living and dining space. The tall ceilings and doors make beach living larger than life with plenty of vantage points of the beach. Four of the five bedrooms have private decks for lounging. The Salty Seahorse is listed on VRBO and Airbnb, but the owners prefer to book directly on their website: https://www.saltyseahorsecb.com/

The Lighthouse Inn

Nestled in the heart of Kure Beach, The Lighthouse Inn is a boutique oceanfront hotel with nine seaside suites equipped with great views. The interiors are fresh and updated, perfect for local’s getaways or romantic weekends. A local Wilmington family of world travelers own the home and saw the possibilities in the property. They have worked to transform the property to what it is today — a gorgeous getaway with its own lighthouse.
