This was our first time staying on this end of the island and at this location. It was wonderful! The condo was beautiful, very clean and very comfortable. What was advertised is what you get. I kept all the information so that I could try to rent this property again in the future.

Beachfront condo

This condo has a great location! We stayed here for Christmas and though the weather wasn’t great, the views were. The condo could use some deeper cleaning, some new furnishings, and some better kitchen gear. Everything was functional, just quite worn.

Great place!

I love Kure Beach I went as a kid and it still holds its spirit of chill beach town. The reviews are correct the TVs don’t work and the beds are super comfortable. The condo has everything you need and more. They are generous with towels, pillows, and blankets. No bugs but it was in the 40s at night. The kitchen looks newer than the photos. NOTHING like the view! And enjoyed the large balcony.

Thanksgiving getaway!

First, I want to say this is an incredible unit. The view is absolutely breathtaking. I have never stayed so close to the ocean and the beach. This makes this unit awesome. A short ride to restaurants and entertainment. The grocery store is just up the road. Everything you could possibly need is a short drive. The property mngt left a turkey roasting pan since it was Thanksgiving. I thought that was a very nice touch. Also, there was toilet paper, paper towels and dish washer pellets left. That was also nice. Past tenants have left different food stuffs so there is a ‘pantry’. There was games to play also. . For review to be useful, I will tell you about some of the negatives. When we entered the unit, it was quite stale and smelly. It was not welcoming. Of course after a little while of opening the doors and windows to air out the place it was better. But it is November. The place was dusty. Like it had been cleaned for the last tenant, and then left empty for a period. ALL the furniture was uncomfortable… except for the deck furniture. There are NO TVs in the bedrooms. The room with the twin beds has no useful closet. Just a bench. No hooks, no where to hang your cloths, no shelves…. Nothing. The Kitchen. Old and dirty. (Bugs too) The few pots, all burned out and scratched. Very limited, cheap utensils. With such a beautiful unit, it could be so much better. I expect premium conditions with a premium price. I may try Bryant Realty again but not this unit.

This was a cute little apartment with amazing views of the ocean. It was very bright and airy. The furniture could use an upgrade and the beds were not very comfortable but the views of the ocean made up for all of it.

Older Condo but excellent view of beach

The property was well equipped. The beds were not extremely comfortable but they were adequate. The kitchen was very nice but the DVD player was broken and the TV was not a smart TV so we were stuck with cable.

Great location and view!

Great location with a great view! Large balcony and we loved the palm tree! Very comfy beds! Newer flooring and updated hall bath and laundry are nice. Kitchen and master bath could use a face lift. Fan in master bath makes an awful noise. Needs another chair in the living area to accommodate four adults comfortably. All in all a nice place to stay, just could use some updating in kitchen and master bath.

Perfect Location

We enjoyed staying at Mermaids Sunrise. We stopped by Bryant Real Estate to grab our keys, and the staff was very welcoming, so everything started off on the right foot. The unit was clean and very conveniently located just steps to the beach. An absolutely breathtaking view! Appliances are in great condition! For those not used to first row properties, there will be bugs, it is inevitable! This unit is properly treated and the bugs were not an issue at all. Very clean unit.

Not what we expected

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The oceanfront location was the only good thing about is unit. The beds were all old mattresses and and uncomfortable, the kitchen was worn and tired and the living room and outside seating was all uncomfortable. Both the water and HVAC filter needed replacement. Kudos to the marketing people for making this sound better than it was, but we will not be using Bryant again.
