Love Love Love this motel. It is small so you know about how many people will be staying there. If you have small kids, then you know how many people will be in the pool. The rooms are clean and that should be all that matters when you are at the beach. We have been staying here for about 17... More

"17 years"......How is it that *I* look at *least* 17 years older, while YOU look the same as your first visit???? Must be the hurricanes that came callin' ;-) It always makes me smile when y'all pull into the parking lot. It's always a pleasure! David Tripp More

My husband & I came down for a weekend to attend a wedding. My first interaction was w/Mark, the night mgr. He was extremely friendly & helpful. We arrived late on a Fri & had reserved room 13 - it was on the second floor at the deck that faces the beach. The first impressions of the motel was that... More

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have shared them with my staff, so we're "all smiles", here at the Kure Keys Motel :-) I had to grin at your comment about the beds; Those were among the ones that I replaced, last year, when MissIzzy brought concern to my attention in the "Sorry Folks" review, below.

My family and I have been vacationing with Kure Keys since Fall 2009. Dave Tripp and his staff does an exceptional job to make sure our stay is fun and meets our expectations. I personally enjoy being 2 blocks down from the Kure Beach Fishing Pier, being in the main part of town, and supporting a local business that places... More

If you go down to Kure Beach, you definitely have to stay at Kure Keys. It's not a hotel stay ..... it's an experience. The owner David is really down to earth and his customer service skills rival those of a five star hotel.The buildings and grounds were immaculate. It definitely has that Key West feel if you have ever... More

I am somewhat ambivelant about reviewing this hotel. My husband and I were looking for a quick get-away before the 4th of July. We had visited the Carolina Beach area a few years ago, we thought it might be nice to visit it again. Based on the reviews on TA, we decided to check out Kure Keys Motel. I called... More

Thanks very much for your feedback on your visit to my motel. I'm very sorry that I was not aware of a problem with the mattresses in your room, and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. New replacements are on the way! Best regards, David Tripp More

20 years ago this would have been lovely. It really needs a bit of an update and attention. But having said that, the linen was clean, the pool and jacuzzi were great and the beach was just around the corner. If you are looking for luxury don't come here. But if you're just looking for a bed for the night... More

Based on the reviews on this site, I decided to book my stay at the Kure Keys - and I'm SO GLAD I did. Had a wonderful stay: the location is ideal (a few hundred yards from the beach), the staff was very friendly and helpful, and this might have been the cleanest hotel room I've ever had anywhere!

Stayed here last minute during Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted with a warm welcome then were allowed to check out the room since we generally stay at large chain hotels.

I brought my 2 teenage children for 2 nights during Memorial Day Weekend, which is all I could afford, both with time and money. We desperately wanted to stay *at* the beach, and Kure Keys was perfect! The owner made accommodations for us since we couldn't do a 3-night minimum...such nice staff and made us feel right at home.
