Reviews

Fabulous stay at Knotty Dog!!
5/5 stars
What a fantastic place to stay on Kure Beach!! We were just thrilled with this house. Clean and casual and relaxed. Having a middle floor without bedrooms provided a great place to gather without bothering sleepers. Easy for the whole family to gather in the family room and kitchen combo. The outdoor covered porches are surrounded by trees which create such a relaxed and cool place to read on the porch swing or eat at the table or just sit and talk in the rockers and chairs. We loved the walk to the beach. We passed butterfly covered plants (the landscaping and white picket fences are beautiful) and the kids' park and the pool on the way to the beach. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, a great coffee maker and out back a gas grill. Beds were comfy with most rooms having a place to head to a porch or outdoor space. The little ones who were with us had so much room to play! We will definitely return! Until next time, hope others enjoy Knotty Dog as much as we did!!!
- The Baldwins

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear how much you loved your stay at Knotty Dog on Kure Beach. It sounds like the layout, cozy porches, and relaxing surroundings made it perfect for your family, and we're glad the kitchen and outdoor spaces added to the comfort. It's great that the walk to the beach and nearby amenities were enjoyable for everyone, especially the little ones! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another stay. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

We had it all.
5/5 stars
It was perfect. Home was exactly as described. This property allows dogs (we brought a lab with a ton of hair) and this home was perfectly clean. Everything you need was in the kitchen. Everyone liked the beds and sheets. Main living area had nice seating and room including a large dining room table. All the appliances were modern and worked perfectly. Pool was great with nice shade from oak trees on one side. The tennis/pickleball court was very nice. All the beach accessories in the description were in the downstairs closet. Only thought, it would be nice to have two electronic devices to get in the pool and the gate to the beach if your group wanted to go separate ways without coordination. Very likely we will be back next year. Thank you.
- Wade

Knotty Dog was Nice, Very Nice Indeed!
5/5 stars
What a wonderful property in a great community and all of this within a 10 minute easy walk to the beach. The house was a perfect fit for us; 3 married couples with 2 children. We loved the fact each couple had a king or queen bed and separate bedrooms for the 2 children as well. The kitchen was well stocked and we had no trouble cooking large dinners “in” most every night. The neighborhood is quiet with what seemed to be a good mix of renters and permanent residents, all very friendly and welcoming. The pool is just a 5 minute walk away with ample chairs and tables. We’ve stayed at many beach rentals but this one was the best by far when it came to beach needs as there were at least 10 chairs, an umbrella, 2 Boogie Boards, 2 bicycles, and even a beach wagon, a true bonus! The outdoor showers made cleaning up after beach time a breeze. We’re already planning a return trip back to Knotty Dog!
- Steve

Our family of nine had a wonderful time at Knotty Dog. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The beach was not crowded & pool was close by. The kids played Pickle Ball on the tennis court. And we were very blessed to have beautiful weather. Who could ask for more? Would definetly come here again.

Wonderful Stay!
5/5 stars
Highly recommend! Plenty of room and well appointed. We love the 2nd floor with wide open living, dining, and kitchen area. The path right next to the house leads straight to the pool and just after the pool is the sidewalk to the beach entrance. Less than 5 min walk to the beach. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous home in pristine seaside community!
5/5 stars
Beautifully decorated, very spacious home, with all the amenities! We loved staying at Knotty Dog, sitting on the porch swing, riding bicycles, taking short walks to the beach, and enjoying the lovely pool. We have traveled to many beaches but Kure is our favorite. This house and seaside neighborhood, along with friendly and supportive management, made for a perfect vacation!!
- Kim

Thanks for the review Kim! We are so glad you were able to enjoy the amazing decor and amenities! We agree this place has a great design and you have all the room you need to spread out with family and friends. We love Kure Beach as well and we are so glad you found us. Please come back any time!
