Unlock Your Island Attitude!
Welcome to Kure Keys Motel. Located along the southeastern shores of Kure Beach, North Carolina, the Kure Keys Motel will transport you to a world of warmth and relaxation. Experience the roar of the crashing waves and the delicate mist of the warm sea as it crashes on the landscape. Drag your toes through the warm and soothing sand. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic getaway or family fun, you will find what you are looking for at Kure Keys Motel.
We are conveniently located in the heart of Kure Beach, North Carolina, on Pleasure Island. It's a very short walk from our motel to the beach--just over 100 feet.
We offer many amenities and features not usually found
at small motels in our price range.
You'll find our pool and our outdoor jacuzzi real pleasures
- and you won't have to share them with a large crowd!
Within easy walking distance from our motel are several fine restaurants, the post office, several convenience stores, and the famous Kure Fishing Pier, just two blocks down the beach.
Kure Beach has more shoreline and more space for beaches than your typical mainland town. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east, while the Cape Fear River lies to the west. It’s possible to find a great beach in the morning to watch the sun rise, and another to watch the sun set at the end of the day. In between the two, you can spend the day at the beach, on a fishing charter, or somewhere else on this charming little hideaway.
