About this property

Positive Waves Surf & Sun Haven: Steps to Waves

Positive Waves: Family-Friendly Oasis Just 2 Blocks from the Beach

Welcome to your home-away-from-home in Kure Beach! This inviting 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment is perfectly situated just two blocks from a safe, family-friendly beach—ideal for building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, or simply soaking up the sun.

Step outside and you’re moments from a vibrant mix of local restaurants, charming shops, and classic beachside attractions. The historic Kure Beach Fishing Pier—famous for its serene ocean views and excellent fishing—is just a short stroll away. Nearby, Ocean Front Park offers a pirate-themed playground and swings, perfect for kids and relaxing afternoons. For history and nature lovers, the renowned Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Museum are close by, while the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher promises hours of fun and discovery for all ages.

Looking for more adventure? The lively Carolina Beach Boardwalk, with its vintage rides, arcades, and legendary Britt’s Donuts, is a quick drive away. And when it’s time to explore beyond the shore, downtown Wilmington—with its riverfront, shops, and historic charm—is only a short drive north, as is the Wilmington International Airport for easy arrivals and departures.

Relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories in this cozy, convenient beach retreat!

We enjoyed how close it was to the beach. The porch was large and inviting. Everything was clean and in good condition. We were grateful we could have our pet with us. The appliances were working well including the tv. We used the vacuum and that was a nice addition.
