WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

Karin, North Carolina

"Don’t think twice unless you want a 5 Star Hotel.

You cannot beat the location!

Thankfully their Carolina Beach motel was sold out. Polly recommended their new sister property that they purchased an are updating.

The neighborhood, beach access has a few entry points right across the street.

Restaurants and coffee shops are steps away.

Rooms are great! They are clean and cute! A lot better than most little beach motels.

Molly has been wonderful to work with.

The on-site team are very nice.

I will be returning.

Thank you for your hospitality"


Frank P.

"First time visiting Kure beach loved the newly remodeled rooms and the location could not be better. Walking distance to beach, great food and convenient stores/beach shop. They have a pool, but with the ocean so close we didn’t use. Rooms are quaint and the modern retro fridges were a favorite of us all. Can’t say enough good things."

Vicki M.

"The room's are so cute and comfortable. Very clean. Short walk to beach."

"We had such a great stay! Our room was very clean, smelled nice, and we loved the location due to its proximity to the beach, food, and the pier. Our dog loved the room and dog park too!"

"The housekeeping staff were great. We had the best time and I will be back by my family in 2 weeks or so. Lovely people and being at the close beach access made it so convenient. The cottage will be my next place to go in."

Eric H.

"Rooms are updated, clean, and comfortable. Service very friendly. Awesome location right across the street from beach! Also loved the porch seating in front of our room and the very nice secluded pool out back. Would definitely choose seabirds again!"

Christina D.

"My husband and I very much enjoyed our weekend trip to Kure Beach as well as our stay at The Seabirds. We stayed in one of their five Heron suites. It was very clean, cozy, and came with two complimentary chairs and umbrella already set up on the beach. The ocean is just a short walk across the street and there are plenty of restaurants and a fishing pier nearby. Highly recommended."

James O.
