If you have ever seen the TV show "Buying Alaska," you know one of their opening lines is...In Alaska, the real amenities are on the outside. The same applies to Kure Beach. When your trip brings you to Kure Beach to enjoy all those amenities, I invite you to make the most of your trip with a stay at The Heart of the Sea.

The Heart of the Sea is like no other at Kure Beach. Ground floor….corner unit….no stairs….with parking less than ten(10) feet from your front door! While not considered “handicap” approved, access to our unit with no stairs makes for the perfect vacation home! Step out your door and enjoy all that Kure Beach has to offer!!

The Heart of the Sea is as close as you can get to the ocean at Kure Beach......unless you are in it! The Heart is ten(10) steps from the beach access. The beautiful bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed, 2 night stands, chest, and wall mirror....double closet with plenty of storage space... and a VCR and 25 inch TV.

There are 2 bunks in the alcove with storage drawers for all those bathing suits and stuff the kids will want to bring! The living room furniture is so cozy and comfortable. You can sit in a favorite chair, on the sofa or in the recliner and still take in the amazing views without leaving the house! Charter Spectrum is both the internet and cable provider. You can enjoy the Spectrum Bronze package on the 42 inch smart TV.

One bath....with tub and shower combo, lots of counter space and a washer and dryer for your convenience .

Your fully equipped kitchen has a Mr. Coffee maker and a Keurig for your favorite cup of morning Joe. A built in microwave and counter top toaster oven are included for your convenience. Complete kitchen supplies are there for your use if you decide to eat in, possibly enjoying some of the locally fresh seafood.

You will have a 180 degree view of the 41.1 million square mile Atlantic Ocean! Standing on the deck at 11' above sea level has been described by guests as standing on the bow of a ship Can it get any better? Yes! It can and it does! Sit in the one of the two hammock chairs on the deck once and you will never want to leave this island paradise! A fixed table bar on the deck allows for dining on the deck while watching and listening to the mighty Atlantic. A charcoal grill for your use is located in the sand yard. Watch the dolphins play as you enjoy a meal on the built in deck bar! Don’t miss a thing trying to peer over the railing.

When in the mood for sand and surf, bring your beach chairs and umbrella from home or utilize one of the local rental companies, that book you've been wanting to read.... and sit on the quiet beach that is literally seconds from your door! Let the magic happen!

So much to do in the area and still feel like you have your own private island!
The NC Aquarium is 1 mile away. The Civil War rich Fort Fisher is adjacent to our property. This property includes approximately 1/4 mile walkway where you can revisit the protection the fort provided the Port of Wilmington. Take time to visit the visitor's center and view an audio visual program telling the history of Fort Fisher. The grand opening was recently held for the 25 million dollar renovation to the visitor's center. The ferry is app. 2 miles away and for $7(most recent pricing) you and your vehicle can cross the Cape Fear River to the amazing little town of Southport.

We want your experience to reflect our appreciation of our guests and of all our blessings! Should you need us, we are a phone call or text away. We want your time at The Heart to be all you want and all you expect it to be!

There is NO place like Kure! There is NO place like The Heart of the Sea! We sincerely hope it's your place to be in 2024.

As advertised
Everything completely as advertised. Clean, very well stocked with supplies and dishes. Absolutely right on the beach, I could have thrown rocks into the ocean if I felt like it. Nice beach to walk, even in the cold, close to Ft Fisher and close enough to town to get supplies without driving forever. Worth a stay. Might not have been too comfy with my kids, as the twin beds are right out in the hallway, making bedtime a little iffy but we maybe could have made it work. But for a couples getaway or travelling alone like I did, it would be perfect for anyone.

Perfect family getaway
We recently stayed at this beach condo with our two young children (ages 3 and 18 months), and it was absolutely perfect for our family! The biggest highlight was the location—just steps to the beach, which made it incredibly easy to go back and forth for naps, snacks, and diaper changes. No long walks or stressful packing of beach gear, which is a huge plus when traveling with little ones. The condo itself was spacious, clean, and very family-friendly. The layout was great, with enough room for everyone to spread out, and the kids had plenty of space to play. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep easy, and the in-unit washer and dryer were lifesavers for keeping up with sandy clothes and towels. We loved the fact that it had a gated pool area, providing a safe environment for our toddler to enjoy some water time without the waves. The balcony was also a great place to relax and let the kids play in the hammock swings. The location was fantastic—not only were we right by the beach, but there were also shops, restaurants, and a grocery store all within a short drive. Overall, this condo was ideal for a family with young children. It offered all the comforts of home with the added luxury of being right on the beach. Highly recommend for anyone traveling with kids! We’ll definitely be back.

We only stayed one night for Labor Day weekend and we loved how close this was to the beach! We liked that this condo was on the first floor and the parking space is like 5ft from the door. Same for the beach access. We will definitely be back!

Great stay!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We just had the most incredible stay at this beachfront condo! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how well-maintained the property is. The stunning ocean view from our balcony was picture-perfect—truly a slice of paradise! The building itself was immaculate, with no complaints whatsoever. It provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. We spent our day soaking up the sun and listening to the waves, and the evenings were simply magical. If you're looking for a fabulous place to unwind, I can't recommend this condo enough. It was the perfect escape for my husband and me, and we can't wait to return!

AMAZING
This was the best condo we have visited by far. Beautiful location so close to the ocean waves vome up to your deck. The hammock chairs are perfect and walking out on the deck was like being right at the beach. The beach was just around the corner and the pool was also right by the ocean and perfect. alsppwralao

This is our second time staying at this rental. It’s very cute and cozy. But the views are priceless. I wish the rental time wasn’t so short though. Not much time to enjoy the beach if only renting for one night. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time!

Just what we were looking for
What an incredible place to spend a few days. When you look at the pictures you kind of wonder, “Can it actually be THAT close to the ocean?” The answer is a resounding yes. We have never stayed anywhere so close to the water. It’s honestly kind of wild. We loved the location, the layout, the check in process, all of it. The host even sent an email with links to restaurants and things to do. If you’re looking for something off the regular touristy path…a little more out of the way…a little different…you should book this propriety now. We loved it. The sunrises on the deck were unbelievable. We wholeheartedly recommend!

Nice little getaway
The place was super cute, even had a small bunk bed for kids. Perfect size for the two of us with a great spot on the beach right outside the unit. The view from the deck was amazing and we could hear the ocean from inside. Quiet location but it was a short ride to the boardwalk area. I would go back for future visits and the view!

Heaven on Earth!
We came to celebrate our 45th wedding anniv and wanted somewhere quiet and on the beach. The Heart was perfect! Excellent customer service from start to finish. We watched sunrises every morning on the covered deck and listened to the waves all day. We definitely 100 percent recommend staying here and home to come back often to Kure and stay here. Would give 10 stars for The Heart!! Only thing is you have renters above you and you can hear them sometimes if walk heavily But nights were quiet and we both slept great in comfortable bed. All reviews are true!!! The Heart is better than one can describe. Try it for yourself if you want a little bit of Heaven on Earth. Thats how we felt watching God paint beautiful sunrises over the ocean each day!!
