I Stayed 4/30 and 5/1. This motel is located right next to the fishing pier and several shops and restaurants. I booked a standard ocean front room with 2 dbl. beds. The room was on the 2nd floor and indeed had a direct view of the pool area and beyond that the ocean. The room had a balcony with 2... More

The service is awesome, the people working there are the best. They helped us so much with where to go and what to do on the island. We had BBQ with every one there, we had a blast! On vacation with friends, it's the best!

We spent 3 nights here Thanksgiving weekend at the end of the season. The room was clean and the bathtub spotless. We were given clean towels every day. If you need a large flatscreen tv and WiFi, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy sitting in a rocking chair on a balcony and watching the sun break... More

Oh my God, this was the WORST experience that I will never, ever forget. I trusted my friend to select the room because I have never visited Kure Beach. The rooms were nasty, moldy, stinky, stink, stinky and very old. The window air conditioner blew my mind, not to mention the little 19" 1995 color television. Unfortunately, we were there... More

Every room at the South Wind is different and some are more updated than others at this point. Our rooms are continually occupied until the winter, making that the only time of the year we are able to renovate. We cannot fix "old" but we are doing our best to make things feel more modern and fresh as we update... More

Me, wife, daughter stayed here for 3 nights. Had the effeciency room first floor. Room was pretty clean. Read where the person had black feet. I think this is why. Place is all pavement with cement sidewalks. Right on the beach. Parking lot is between building and beach and the dirt from cars and the sand from the ocean blows... More

South Wind is convenient to stores, restaurants, and pier, however, all the hotels are in Kure Beach. It was very nasty, our feet turned black by walking on the floors. I was shocked, I said this must be from outside, so I took a wipe and rubbed over the floor - the wipe was black from just wiping over a... More

We are never happy to hear about a guests bad experience with us. We have worked very hard over the past three years to throughly clean, update, and renovate our property. Unfortunately, even working at our hardest, we can only renovate a handful of rooms per season. Last year we began removing carpet and tiling ground floor rooms and are... More

We have stayed here for several years with our kids. New owners have made a BIG improvement on this motel. The staff is very friendly. When we left we felt so close to them that it was like leaving part of our family at the beach. I enjoyed the late night just sitting out on the porch , rocking in... More

It is very basic motel. The room and furniture were old. We paid extra for the kitchen but the supplies were very limited. Our room was also ocean view, which I really did not think worth the money. The sheets and cover were old so there were stains. They offer change towel every day, however, not sheets and room clean.... More
