Great Beach Getaway

Knotty Dog was a perfect spot for our family getaway. The house was clean and had all the needed supplies. It was a 2 minute walk to the pool and a 5 minute walk to the private beach access. The neighborhood and neighbors were all welcoming. The communication with iTrip was great they were extremely helpful. We had enjoyed our stay and will definitely look to stay here again on future trips.

Beautiful house! Great seaside community!!

We love Kure Beach and this neighborhood, so we were so excited to see the listing! The house was spacious, beautifully decorated, with great amenities. There were lots of beach chairs, bicycles, and games. The beach was just a short walk away with a nice private beach access. Everyone was super nice, making our vacation wonderful!!
