Attention to detail

The Host/Owner did an incredible job of providing everything we needed for our week at the beach. There were extra paper products, clean linens, towels, bath cloths, and many cooking condiments. The place was impeccably clean, and the location was ideal. The host recommended an excellent fresh seafood restaurant. We had an outstanding experience.

Fantastic location and lovely cottage

Dreamer's Den has everything you need to have a wonderful time at the beach. Its location is fantastic, right on the water and minutes from the restaurants and shops in Kure and Carolina beaches. I stayed with my older parents, my husband and our little dog and we all felt so welcome. I love that there are two king bedrooms with comfortable mattresses, so no one had to climb up to a bunk bed or sleep on the couch. The host, LaNette lives right downstairs, so she's available if you need anything. But you won't because she has thought of everything. We would definitely stay here again.

Great beach house!

Really enjoyed Dreamer's Den. Host has everything you need there and more. Direct access to beach via boardwalk. Used propane grill for outdoor cooking and ate on back deck. Outdoor shower for use after ocean swims a nice feature. Very comfortable accommodations, including for our small dog. We would definitely go back.

Perfect Beach Cottage

The house was ready for check-in before we arrived. It went smoothly and easily. The house was immaculate, updated, and nicely decorated! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We loved that the deck had plenty of seating, and a wonderful view of the ocean. There was a gate to keep our pups safely on the deck while we were out there. Beach access was easy—the path was right off of our deck and a very short walk to the ocean! Restaurants and the pier were not far walk to walk to—about 1/2 mile with sidewalks the whole way on the street side. The Hostess was extremely kind and easy to work with. We would love to stay here again the next time we come to the beach!

Quick Trip

The location was ideal - just over 1/2 mile from Kure Beach pier. The beach itself was not crowded since the closest public access was a few houses down. The home itself was clean, comfortable and just as described. I definitely recommend!

My girlfriend and I were very pleased with the property. The host was on top of everything, she was very attentive & accommodating. The location was perfect with a quick walk to all Kure beach pier restaurants and the mini mart. Everything was very clean and the unit was very doggie-welcome with a pet gate up top & a gated dog yard below. Definitely recommend staying here!

Great Location and Host

Host stayed in touch with us. House was as advertised. Only negative is whenever the lower level cooks the smell comes into the upper rented area. We were greeted with what we believe to be fish fry. The smell was very strong. We had to open all windows and doors and we purchased a candle to burn in case we needed but we didn’t use. All other meals cooked below were manageable but the fish wasn’t a good first impression.

Charming, quiet, cozy cottage

Charming, quiet, cozy cottage with beautiful views and within walking distance to the pier. We arrived later than expected (night) and were super surprised the next morning with the breathtaking views just outside the back glass door and windows! We stayed 4 nights/5 days to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Host is wonderful and very pet friendly! We brought our trained, crate trained 16 month old chocolate lab with us (her first ever beach trip) and she loved it here! The entire area is pet friendly! We took her to Fort Fisher to the beach, Squigley’s ice cream (they have a special pup ice cream treat to give your pups), walking on the Kure Beach boardwalk, on the ferry to Bald Head Island (with lunch at Jules Salty Grub & Island Pub, then we walked a short distance to Old Baldy Lighthouse), local park to fetch, and we walked the beach behind the cottage down to the pier and back. BEWARE: Dogs are only allowed on the beach 5p.m.-9a.m. April 1st-September 30th! We were just happy to be able to take her for a nice walk! Most restaurants have outdoor seating for you and your pets. This cottage is very accommodating and truly home away from home with everything you need including glassware, utensils, cookware, linens, etc. Washer and dryer was a plus to wash all our swimsuits and towels after a long day at the beach. I love that it was non-smoking and the entire house was smoke free! Additionally, the bed was comfortable! We all slept like babies! Thank you so much LaNette for accommodating us, in which we all had a very relaxing, fun-filled beach vacation!
