We had a family vacation, including 6 adults and 3 children under 7 years old. This property was perfect. A few of our favorite things: 1) The multiple balconies including the 4th level 360 degree view, which we loved for sunsets. 2) The master bedrooms are spacious and the showers have many nozzle options. 3) The very short walk to the beach. 4) A walk to Kure for the pier, restaurants, and a convenience store. 5) Short drive up the coast to get to the grocery store, more restaurants, and the amusement park at Carolina Beach, and 6) The many folding chairs, beach toys, umbrella, and wagon made our beach days easy and fun.

Exceptionally clean, with yearly upgrades
This was our fifth year in a row and we have never regretted it. What stands out is that every time we come back to the house it seems so well maintained, with upgrades, so clean and so pleasant to start your family vacation. Plenty of beach equipment, kitchen equipment, and a wonderful pool. Thank you to the host for making our family vacations so memorable.

If I could give Pier Gazer 10 stars I would. By far the neatest, cleanest, most organized and well stocked rental we have had in the 8 years we have been coming to Carolina/Kure Beach. It is in a fabulous location! You can tell that the owners, Sharon and Alan, take really good care of their property. Best beach trip ever. It was so much appreciated and would definitely book again!

Outstanding Stay
Our group of teens stayed at Piergazer for their senior year spring break trip. This house was worth the money. Every single implement required in the kitchen was there. Fully stocked games closet. Plenty of room for 9 teens and a mama chaperone. The views are lovely and the location is ideal. I wish the wondows would have been able to be opened. All of the handles are removed. I figure its a safety concern, so no matter. The host was friendly and communicative. I was surprised at the lack of trashbags on site but that was a tiny detail. Five stars. Will stay again.

Perfect stay
Pier Gazer provides a perfect location...steps from the beach and close to Kure Pier, restaurants and a convenience store. There were 10 of us and we had lots of room to spread out. Having a pool on site was wonderful for the kids after being on the beach. One of my favorite spots was the balcony which had a nice ocean view. The owners are very communicative and helpful. The place was pristinely clean when we arrived (kudos to the housekeeping staff!). The kitchen and the bar are well-stocked. We have stayed at several rentals along Wrightsville/Carolina/Kure beaches, and Pier Gazer has definitely been our favorite, I would highly recommend this place!

This was the perfect house for me and my family. It has absolutely everything we needed. Just bring your groceries and you are set. It has everything from the soap to wash the dishes, that are provided, down to the chairs to sit on the beach with. The pool is so nice and it is literally steps from the beach, amazing!! I could go on and on about this house, you just have to experience for yourself! We will definitely be using this home again when we return for another family vacation. The homeowners are quick to respond to every message and are very kind.
