Reason's You'll Love Bluefish Cottage:

*Single-level home (no stairs)

*Game Room

*Spacious Living Area

*Short walk to quiet beach access

Welcome to your perfect beach getaway! This spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom single-level home offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and entertainment — with no stairs, making it easy and accessible for guests of all ages.


The Space

Designed for relaxation and connection, the open living area is perfect for gathering after a day at the beach. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals simple and enjoyable, whether you're cooking a big family dinner or a quick breakfast before heading out to the sand.

Step outside to enjoy the small private deck — a peaceful place for morning coffee, evening drinks, or simply relaxing in the coastal breeze after a full day in the sun.

Location Perks You Won’t Find Everywhere

One of the biggest advantages of Bluefish Cottage is its prime location near the no-parking Kure Beach access. Because there’s no public parking at this access point, it naturally stays less crowded, giving you a quieter and more peaceful stretch of beach that visitors often don’t discover unless they’re familiar with the area.

This access is also known as one of the most reliable surf breaks on the island, making it a favorite among local surfers. It’s also a popular fishing spot and a beautiful place to enjoy sunrises and long beach walks. These are the kinds of hidden benefits that truly elevate your stay and aren’t always obvious unless you know the island well.

If you’re looking for comfort, fun, convenience, and one of the best beach locations on the island, Bluefish Cottage checks every box. Book your stay and experience Kure Beach like a local.
