Admiral's Quarters
Nearly all the rooms at the Admiral's Quarters are oceanfront, so every morning you can wake up to beautiful sunrises over the Atlantic. Ground-floor rooms have private porches with rocking chairs, while all second- and third-floor rooms have private balconies from which to watch the surf come in. Two outdoor pools provide another setting for relaxing away an afternoon. If you feel like exploring the town, you're less than a block from restaurants, gift shops and the Kure Beach Fishing Pier.

Hidden Treasure Inn
The four units at this small vacation destination truly are a hidden treasure of Kure Beach, providing privacy, relaxation and friendliness for a very reasonable price.

Kure Keys Motel
This small, family-run motel is colorful, friendly and a stone's throw from most of the shops and restaurants Kure Beach has to offer. While not technically oceanfront, the Kure Keys is a mere 100 feet away from sand and waves, close to the long, lovely stretch of shoreline at Kure Beach. After a day on the links, loll by the outdoor pool surrounded by a privacy fence. Or hop into the outdoor Jacuzzi to soothe tired muscles. The Kure Keys Motel has only ten rooms, so you'll never be met with a very large crowd. In the fall and spring, gather with other guests at the outdoor fireplace, and you'll be sure to leave your beach vacation with plenty of new friends.
