My girlfriend and I stayed at the Kure Beach cottage for a week and overall it was a great trip. A little feedback on the rental...
Pros - location is great, a quick 3-4 minute walk and you're standing in the sand and looking at the ocean.
Communication with the owners was excellent. They are very quick to respond and easy to deal with, I really appreciated that. We had a minor issue in that our toilet seat was broken and while it did take a few days to get it fixed because of the holiday weekend, the owners kept us informed and got the issue resolved as quickly as possible, even offering an extra day on the house for the annoyance.
A/C was great - every room was as cold as we wanted it.
Cons - the advertisement does say that the cottage is used by the family also. I interpreted this as that the family comes when the cottage is otherwise unrented...not the case. While I anticipated having the property to ourselves, we had a whole family staying above us over the weekend. I'm certain that they tried to be as quiet as possible, but kids are kids and they run back and forth and up/down steps. It's just loud when you're underneath them. My recommendation is that if you're looking for peace and quiet, maybe double check to see if the upstairs will be occupied at the same time. If you don't mind it, go for it...they gave us as much space and privacy as we could ask for and weren't loud beyond just normal, everyday living. If you're looking for a place to yourselves, maybe book for a different time or look elsewhere.
The shower needs some TLC. Plenty of hot water and pressure but in general it's just tired and worn out with pieces coming loose.
Overall a good trip. Thanks.
