Seven Seas Inn

I emailed them in late Sept 08 to inquire about open rooms at Thanksgiving. Just needed a yes or no response and then we were going to call and reserve if still open when we called in knowing nothing's a sure thing til it's confirmed reserved. Below is the text of the email response back from the "owner" (verified) of... more

The views from the room were amazing. The location on the peninsula was excellent, as well. Unfortunately, the room could have been cleanier and updated. We had a 1 year old with us, and her feet were black after walking on the carpet. I wished the inside would have matched the surroundings. more

Sept 3, 2008. Someone recommended and we tried it. Happened to go on a Tuesday night when it was all you can eat Shrimp, steamed or fried. Found my wifes fried shrimp to be just about perfect. Nice and sweet with a light batter. My steamed shrimp were quite large and cooked in old bay seasoning. Service was quite good.... more

The Sand Dunes is a great family oceanfront motel near the Kure Beach Pier with access to multiple pools. We had an efficiency room which inlcuded stove, refrigerator, microwave-great for breakfast, lunch and saving money a couple nights on dinner. The room was very clean, housekeeping did a great job and kept us stocked with towels, toilet paper, soap, etc.... more

We tried MacKerels because another restaurant we were going to was closed that evening. The ambiance is very tropical and the menu has a nice variety. I had the garlic sirloin which was pretty good. My wife did the shrimp scampi pasta, and she wasn't too happy with it, but it was edible. Service was nice and the atmosphere was... more

I've been to Kure Beach, NC 2 times a year for 18 years. This was the first time I've stayed at the Moran Motel. The rates were exceptional, (We paid $88 per night for a 2 room efficiency with full kitchen). The employees are friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping staff is excellent. We've stayed at all 3 of the... more

The broiled seafood platter was terrible over cooked with a bunch of parsley thrown on top. Baked potato was more likely microwaved then put in tin foil, salad bar was a joke they advertise having the best. false advertising I say. You would think since they advertise fresh and the best seafood and are located just off the Atlantic ocean... more

Best steak I've ever had - filet Barbara style. I've probably had it about 10 times, and it always lives up to my memories' high expectations. It's popular, and seating is limited, so take that into account. My family has sold it's land in Kure, but I'm planning a trip from Maryland JUST to go to Freddie's. Even the salad... more

If you are looking for fresh seafood - do not go here. Our seafood was bland, the shrimp were rubbery, and the tarter sauce was awful. I think it was homemade, and when you went to "squirt" some on your plate, we only got water white stuff. YUCK!! We joked about things being so sorry because of gas prices -... more

Our meal here was decent. She had the fried seafood platter which was quite good. I had the stuffed flounder. The flounder was good, the stuffing was ok. For the price I expected a lot more (quality, portions, decor, etc.). I would go back if I had no other choice, but would not make a special trip to eat there. more

My wife and I were staying here for the weekend and decided to try the place. The service and the food were great; the portions were way more than either of us could eat. We'll definitely return. more

Freddie's has excellent food and service. We both ordered pork chops and they were incredible! Try to get there right when they open during peak season if you don't want to wait! more

We have been to the Carolina Coastline on several occasions but this was our first visit to the Kure Beach area. This was one of the restaurants recommended by the local rental agent when we arrived. So, since she gave this a glowing two thumbs up, we thought we'd give it a try. Only one of the four meals we... more

We stayed here July 15 - 19th. We were at Kure beach for a surprise birthday celebration/vacation for our friend who was turning 50 on the 17th. A group of us booked Cottages 1, 2 & 3. This location is just perfect. You are just steps away from the beach (it’s literally right across the street), the pier and restaurants.... more

Ea and Anne are the BEST Innkeepers on Kure Beach, as a matter of fact the best on any beach! You feel like a long lost friend the moment you arrive. The grounds are just perfect, not to mention the cottages! There is not ONE indication it is summertime, no doubt their busiest time of year. The cottage was as... more

For the price I got 12 small to medium size shrimp on my plate, 19.00 for tthis meal. The shrimp is was good, but not for the price or the amount that I got. I do not recommend going there to anyone unless you like throwing your money away. more

After reading the other reviews, we went down for the week. We were there at the same time as the person who was unhappy but did not find any of the problems that person had. We were greeted by a friendly staff, and when we needed an extra set of sheets , they were prompt and friendly. The health sanitation... more
