PeaceOfParadise!!

This was a very nice place!! All of my family enjoyed staying at this house. It was a few steps to the beach front. Restaurants were close by as well as the fishing piers. We enjoyed shopping at the gift shops. We shopped until we felt like dropping for sure ! It was an experience we will remember always. We can't wait to return to this PeaceofParadise!!

Excellent

This is an excellent place to stay in Kure Beach. It is very clean, spacious, well-appointed with all basic amenities and the communication from the owner is spot on! The layout with bedrooms on multiple floors is perfect for large families who need their own space while also having a large area for being together. You can see the ocean from the 3rd floor where the kitchen and living area are which is a plus for those who want a water view. The elevator is a great enhancement for those who have issues with steps or just for convenience with loading and unloading. This location is also close to the pier and an access to the beach. Dog-friendly is another perk to this property if you are traveling with your fur baby and, as mentioned above, cleanliness is not an issue here as it is with some pet-accepting rentals...it is clean and well-maintained. We rented a golf car during our stay and I would definitely recommend that as it makes traveling to nearby points of interest quick and easy. I can highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay again.

A Special House

The first thing you notice once inside is the level of furnishings and decorations of this rental vs. anything we've experienced before in this price range. Many times when renting at the beach you get the sense that everything was used elsewhere in a previous life. This house feels like it was well thought through and decorated to appeal to guests that want to feel comfortable and at home. The next thing you notice is the size of the place. Again comparing to other rentals, this is a huge house and although it may have the same number of beds and bedrooms as others, there is just more room on every floor to spread out and not feel like you've loaded your 10lb family into a 5lb box! Next is the location as everything is walk-able, from the beach to downtown Kure. Not having to deal with paid parking is a huge positive and makes life so much easier. Overall the house and the grounds were clean and well maintained. The communication to and from Itrip was perfect. Literally 0 issues with a beach rental is almost unheard of, but our experience was about as perfect as it gets. Thanks Itrip!

Great dog friendly beach rental!

We enjoyed our stay at Bella Playa in Kure Beach. It was great to be able to bring our dog. My only feedback is that the bed upstairs was creaky, but we ultimately had a nice visit!

Great location!

We greatly enjoyed our time at Bella Playa! There was ample space for family time and the proximity to the beach was great. It was such an easy walk. We had a slight issue with the elevator and we received a very quick response which resolved the issue and that was greatly appreciated. The house was very clean when we arrived and there was also adequate supplies.

Great Stay

We enjoyed the view at the Kure Beach home at 325 N 3rd (Bella Playa) . It was very spacious clean and we could tell well maintained. They had plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils . It was very smart to put two sets of towels in the bathrooms , it made it easy to account for them. They had plenty of beach supplies and it was a very short walk to the beach. We walked to almost everywhere because house was centrally located. The rental company was very nice and on top of things and punctual.

Bella Playa Kure Beach

Second time staying at Bella Playa in Kure Beach because we had such a great time two years ago. The house is perfect for multiple families. It was clean and nicely decorated. House not directly on the beach but within walking distance. Planning to come back to Kure Beach and again will be staying at Bella Playa.

We really enjoyed our time here. The house had everything we were looking for, close proximity to beach, elevator, multiple bedrooms ect. We had 5 adults, 4 kids and had plenty of room. The communication from ITrip was great every step along the way. They were timely in their responses and were very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect family beach trip

Our family had a fantastic time staying here! There was plenty of room for our multigenerational family to gather and socialize while also offering everyone privacy when needed. Perfect location super close to beach entrance. We would have loved if there was a privacy enclosure for the outdoor shower to be able to thoroughly rinse sand before entering the house but the setup with the clothes lines was convenient and useful. We would love to return next summer!

Kure Beach Vacation - Bella Playa

Our Kure Beach family vacation at Bella Playa was awesome! The location (two minutes from the beach and boardwalk) was ideal and the size of the townhome was great! Also, the property was very clean inside upon arrival. I highly recommend this property. We plan on returning next year.

Thanksgiving at Kure Beach

This was a second Thanksgiving at Kure Beach with the entire family. It was really nice to have an elevator to carry all of the food and bags up to each floor. The bonus was the ping pong table that we used all weekend in between watching football and eating. The layout of the house was also a bonus as it provided a little privacy and extra for each family.

Great house and location

My family rented this house for 4 adults and 3 small kids. It was a great layout for us and the house was very clean when we arrived! Communication with itrip was very easy and thorough. And the beach access and boardwalk were super close, with a view from the house. There are just a few things to mention that account for the overall 4 star review. The dishes in the cabinet were not clean when we pulled them out - we had to hand wash everything before using. I am guessing the dishwasher was malfunctioning but can’t say for sure, we didn’t have that issue during our stay. Also, looking back I could have figured this out from the photos, but the house is NOT 5 bedrooms. The fifth bedroom was the open basement and one blind was broken off the door. It wasn’t a quiet or private space, so we didn’t utilize it. Instead we put our baby in the giant closet off the second level master, which is great for babies, but I was expecting an actual 5th bedroom. That could be reworded. We had issues getting the main tv to work but didn’t want to watch it much anyway. I know iTrip would have fixed this, but we didn’t want to bother since it wasn’t a priority for us. Finally, the elevator stopped working after we used it one time. This wouldn’t have been concerning for us, except for the fear of fines. I’ve stayed at many rental houses and never been threatened to be fined so much by the instructions. I understand and respect the intent to keep things in good working order, but as someone with young kids it made me extra neurotic not to let them hurt anything. It’s a house and things happen. Overall it was a good experience and we enjoyed the house, except for those few things.

Great size and location

We were a group of college friends in town with husbands and children for one of our friends' wedding. The size of the house was perfect for our large group, everyone had their own space to retreat to yet the kitchen and living areas were spacious enough for all of us to gather. Our only complaints were little things that would help things function a little better - ie no indoor mats at the doors made it harder to not track in sand and water, not much hanging space inside for bathing suits and towels. Nothing that really impeded us from having a nice time or any faults with the house itself, just touches that would have been nice. The upstairs balcony was very nice for evenings after the kids went to bed for adults to have a cocktail and listen to the waves crash. Proximity to the beach was perfect and the availability of toys and chairs was very nice to have for those of us that flew and couldn't bring such items. We enjoyed evening walks to the pier and arcade as well. Overall, we all enjoyed our time and wish we could have stayed longer!

Great family getaway

First family vacation with the entire family. Loved the close walking distance to the beach. Having the pier close was great as well. Short drive to great food and shopping. While there we even took some senior pictures on the beach. Only downside was the pullout bed on the bottom floor was very thin and uncomfortable for sleeping so nobody used that. All in all we were extremely satisfied and look forward to returning to the area.

Awesome Accommodations June 2022

Stayed at Bella Playa in Kure Beach and was pleasantly surprised with how clean and spacious it was. We were all impressed with the amount of furniture in the house. The kitchen was bright with five counter stools, dining table with six chairs and a bistro table to accommodate four. All bathrooms were spotless and bedrooms were spacious. Short walk to beach. Will be planning another vacation here for 2023. Thank you for making our vacation enjoyable!
