About this property

Huge 5 Bedroom Duplex with Ocean Views!

Who isn’t looking for "A Better Life" while on vacation? This nicely appointed five-bedroom, four and a half-bath, duplex features a unique reverse floor plan and stunning ocean views. The spacious living area comfortably accommodates a family group of fourteen with ease. Don’t miss your opportunity to watch the sunrise as you sip your coffee overlooking the ocean or soaking in the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the widow's walk. A game room for entertainment, an elevator for accessibility and convenience – this home has a lot to offer!

The ground level of “A Better Life” features a teen suite which is a dream come true for junior family members. This suite has a full bathroom with walk in shower, a pyramid bunk bed (Twin over Full) with a game room that includes a TV and small-sized game table. The second floor has three guest bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an adult game room with flat screen TV, mini fridge, dart board and private deck. The first guest room is furnished with a queen size bed and shares access to the main bathroom on this level that adjoins the game room. The second guest bedroom has two sets of Twin bunkbeds and includes kids’ games, books, a TV, and DVD player. The third guest room on this floor has a queen bed and shares access with the twin bunkroom to the secondary bathroom.

The upstairs great room sports an open concept living and dining space that is accented by beautiful hardwood floors. A generous space for families to gather and enjoy each other’s company, family dinners, movie night, or board games. Step out onto the deck and grab a seat to relax in the fresh salt air. Morning coffee or evening beverages are always best enjoyed with an ocean view and soft sea breeze. The kitchen is nicely appointed to ensure all your cooking needs are met and is equipped with new appliances, and granite countertops. If cooking indoors isn’t your thing, then you will love grilling outdoors on the provided charcoal grill.

"A Better Life" is close to the Kure Beach Fishing Pier and a short drive to the Ft. Fisher Historic Museum, the Civil War battleground, and the NC Aquarium. Also, while in the area, be sure to check out the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, where you will find shops, restaurants, and summer activities such as fireworks, carnival rides and live music. Watch the fishermen come in with the catch of the day at the marina or dine out with the family. Make plans today to stay in beautiful Kure Beach!

perfect vacation home for a large family

We spent our thanksgiving holiday here with a family of nine and it was an amazing. The rooms worked out well for each member and we had plenty of space to spread out for kids and adults. We only had one hiccup which was no hot water when we arrived but the property managers worked to get that fixed quickly as possible, even during a holiday hours. Very pleased with our stay and would choose this home or another property with this company again.

Thank you for the review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the location of the property and your vacation! While we are disappointed to hear that the AC was not cooling to your expectations, we have had the system evaluated by a local vendor and they assure us that the system is in working order and doing its best to cool the property during these summer days in the high-90s and low-100s. Secondly, we regret that you experienced the unsightly visitors, but we are happy that the property is on a routine contract with Cape Fear Pest (as are many properties in this neighborhood) and that Cape Fear Pest was able to get out quickly and perform a touch-up spray for y'all. Again, we appreciate the actionable feedback from your stay and hope you and your family with join us in Kure Beach for years to come!

Guys this duplex in Kure beach was AWESOME!!!! We had an amazing time! This particular duplex sits right on the main road and takes less than 3 minutes to walk to the beach, about 7 minutes to walk to fishing pier, restaurants, arcade and convenient store. The beach was clean, the roads were clean and the locals are amazing and so helpful. The aquarium, fort fisher, and the state park are only a 5 minute drive and i highly recommend visiting all of them. So for the property itself, it turned out amazing! Check-in was contactless, just use your code they send in advance and that's all. I was able to directly text or email Bryant if we needed anything. They are extremely prompt and super helpful. A side note, skip VRBO and book directly with Bryant. They have all the perks and insurance you need. The house was a massive duplex with ample sleeping arrangements. All the beds were clean, no bed bugs (yes i checked for you). The kitchen was awesome! Totally stocked with any appliance or equipment you need. The living area was great, the cabinets had tons of toys and books and games. Best part of all was the decks!! The view is astounding! Plenty of tables and chairs to hang out on the decks. Highly recommend this place especially for multi families or multi generational families. The kitchen is on the top floor so the elevator was extremely helpful. All the appliances and washer/dryer were working. The bathrooms were clean and they left so many bath towels. See you next year Kure!!

Pros and Cons

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Better Life is a very large home near the Kure Beach Pier. The size and number of beds/bedrooms accommodated our family very well and we really loved having a view of the ocean even though we were not ocean-front. We also appreciated the keyless entry.Unfortunately, we found that the house needed some overall maintenance, deep cleaning and updating. The kitchen was very poorly equipped for a large group of people (e.g. there were only 11 plates), the knives barely cut, and most of the pots and pans were small and in bad shape. We discovered on Tuesday that the dryer didn't work and were told that it couldn't be repaired until a week later (after we'd be gone).We spend a week every summer at Carolina/Kure Beach and we wouldn't stay here again unless some of these problems are addressed.

Great House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed the home. Beautiful place with a great upper deck. I will say that 2 of the shower heads (2nd floor bathrooms) were terrible and need to be replaced. I think it's easy for them to get corroded at the beach, but nonetheless, they were terrible and need replacing. I would also recommend a slightly better set of knives. I know you don't put your best stuff in a rental, but those were horrible. I almost hurt myself using them. Also, it would be nice if the ice maker/water filtration system worked on the fridge. Some of the pillows and mattresses were shot. So I think a few little upgrades/maintenance is in order. Otherwise, the house was in good condition and we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and house, cleanliness was questionable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The communications from Bryant Real Estate were consistent and provided easy instructions for check-in, check-out, getting there, etc. I called ahead with a few questions ahead of time and received prompt answers. Our only issue was with the cleanliness of the rental along with cleaning supplies. We noticed that the countertops were not wiped down and the floors were not mopped. Also, we were left with no soap in the bathrooms (for handwashing) and just 1 dishwasher pod left under the sink. There was no dish soap.... thankfully we brought many of our own supplies, but it was disappointing to see the most basic essentials were not provided, especially with COVID concerns.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 June 2022
Taylor, Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad that the communication for check-in, check-out, etc. was easy. We apologize if the property was not up to par for cleaning. We do not see any phone calls reporting that the property was un-clean upon arrival, so please note for the future, if an issue such as this arrives, we do have staff available 24/7 to resolve any issues. We would have been happy to send a cleaner out to address the issues right then and there. We do send out a link for "What to Bring" to the property so that you are prepared for what will and will not be provided once you arrive. We hope to see you again soon!

Family Trip

Pros: The location of this property was the best part. The property provided a good amount of towels and each set was individually wrapped which I personally liked. The amount have space was also nice since we had a family of 12. The central vacuum was amazing! The porches were spacious and had enough chairs. Cons: The cleanliness needed improvements. Underneath the couch looked liked it had not been vacuumed in awhile. In between the couch and futon needed to be cleaned. The couch should be replaced it is worn. The area rugs needed some deep cleaning. The shower I used had mold built up that needs to be removed and redone. This was not anyones fault but the AC was not working properly which is a nightmare for anyone’s beach trip. However if it did not break we would not have met the best HVAC technician. Alan was amazing and our family was so glad to have met him. He had the best customer service, personable, professional and just a down right genuine good guy! Fantastic rating for Alan! Thanks again.

Spacious House for Extended Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at The Better Life in Kure Beach. The house was as pictured and provided plenty of room for our extended family. It was wonderful that the older kids could have their own space in the game rooms! The location of the house provides easy access to the beach (like a block away) and is a quick walk to the pier where there are restaurants, a coffee shop, and an arcade.Pros: Great layout for families with the Jack and Jill bathrooms. The elevator (which you don't have to actually ride in!) makes it so easy to unload and load every floor. Lots of outdoor space with comfortable furniture. There is an outdoor shower, which isn't listed, to make cleaning up after the beach much easier. The house has a central vacuum which is very useful for sand control! The kitchen seemed to have everything we needed, except for an ice cream scoop. While the kitchen was well stocked, it still had room to use a couple cabinets as food storage/pantry.Needs attention: The shower door in the 2nd floor bathroom doesn't close so water gets...everywhere. The AC on the bottom floor was not great; we kept the temperature higher than recommended and it still never seemed to cool that floor down. The list of amenities includes a "wine/beverage cooler," but there is not one at the house. Given the number of people the house can accommodate, a drink fridge would be useful. The coffee maker has seen better days; even a new drip pot would be helpful.(Whenever that dryer gets replaced, find one where you can turn off the buzzer. It is LOUD and cannot be turned off...not great when you want to do laundry while the kids are sleeping!)We have worked with Bryant Real Estate in the past and have been happy with our experiences; we will definitely use them again.

Roach motel!!!

It was awful there were giant cockroaches everywhere some of my family left and went to a hotel... we waited all day for a guy with a spray can to show up..what a joke! They were crawling on us in the shower everywhere. I complained to the management who just responded saying that since it happened on the weekend they weren’t able to get a real exterminator and has completely ignored my request for a partial refund and to reimburse my family member for their hotel!!!

Regina - Sounds like a door or window may have been left open during your stay. With the cooler weather approaching, pesky little critters such as the ones you encountered may try to find there way inside through an open door or window for warmth. I'm happy to see we were able to send out pest control immediately to take care of those pesky palmetto bugs. Unforutanlty, palmetto bugs are prone to this area due to being so close to paradise. This property and many others are all sprayed monthly for pests to help with this issue. Best to you on your future vacation endeavors!

Beautiful and nice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very beautiful! Like how the sheets and towels was wrapped up in plastic. It accommodated my family and mine parents that need to use the elevator. The only thing we didn't like is the fact that it was no Grill when the website said Grill. Staff or someone did you good by bringing the grill and dropping it off but the grill was too small for the amount of people the house set. So we're not sure if that was the original grill or we was just bought a grill for the time being. We will use the company again and maybe stay in the house again if possible. Thank you for everything.

Brittney - We're are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed The Better Life. We apologize for the confusion over the grill.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We needed a few days in the salt air after 2020 and decided to spend a few days at the beach over NYE. My husband has stayed at The Better Life several times with his brothers when on fishing trips to Kure Beach, so this is the first time we stayed as a family. The upper deck was great for getting some sun and the master bedroom very comfortable. Plenty of space and activities for the kids and loved the short walk to the beach.
