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!

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.

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.

Lovely home close to the beach. I wish we had done a little more research about not being able to bring dogs on the beach 9-5 in the summer, but we had a great visit

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.

Very nice house, well kept. Several remotes had dead batteries, could have used extra blankets, only thin comforter on each bed and no extras.

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.

This house absolutely surpassed my expectations. The location the the home was perfect. The house was immaculate when we arrived. From start to finish, communication was outstanding with no issues. We will most definitely rent this home again.

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!

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.

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!

This rental is absolutely perfect! We had friends and our family with us and everyone enjoyed. It is an easy walk to the beach, but you still can see the ocean from the house. It was stocked with everything you need for a long weekend or a week. Centrally located to restaurants, beaches and fun activities for the whole family. The managing company went above and beyond to make sure I could get oxygen delivered at the time the company could deliver. I can't say enough wonderful things about this rental!

My extended family of 9 stayed at Bella Playa very comfortably recently. There was lots of room for sleeping and hanging out. The house was decorated very cute and beachy, and was very clean upon our arrival. There's a ping-pong table in the garage that the kids loved playing with and the house is an easy walk to the public access entrance at the beach. We had an issue with the freezer while we were there and Itrip sent someone right out to check it and they even brought a bag of ice! The house has an elevator too, which was so helpful for my parents who were staying with us. Would definitely book with them again in the future!

The most beautiful home on the block! My family loved everything about this home. Not only will we stay again each year when we visit but we will tell everyone we know about the family business ITrip! We support family owned and we support this business! From 15 years of law enforcement to my service in the military I really value giving my family a better life and making it worth our time together! This not only added so much joy to my family but peace and tranquility! I felt so at home and it was absolutely beautiful!

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!

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!

The house was as described in the listing. However, it's much better in person! We put the beach wagon & chairs to good use. We only used the elevator on check in & check out days. It was very handy! The stairs weren't that bad but with all the food and luggage it would've been no fun. The second floor Primary bedroom had a HUGE closet and shower. The King bed was also very comfortable! Bedding and linens were of good quality. I brought pillows, towels and blankets just in case but didn"t need them. The TV was an added bonus but I really didn't spend that much time in the room to use it. The room with the bunk beds and futon were enjoyed by the kids. The porch on the 2nd floor was nice with the rocking chairs to sit on when it was raining. Very quiet street, lots of houses around and still quiet. The laundry machine was helpful to wash beach towels and I went home with clean laundry which was a plus. The top floor is where we spent the most time. It felt very comfortable, like home. The Primary bedroom and bathroom had no complaints. I didn't sleep in there or go in there so I can't write a fair review. That bathroom is the only one on that floor. I would always go downstairs to mine but it is good to know for planning. The kitchen is huge! We made spaghetti and tacos during our stay. There is ample seating at a formal dining table, a high bistro table (with a nice view of the ocean) and at the kitchen counter (on high stools.) The couches are so comfortable with lots of pillows. Side tables and coffee tables made for easy snack and drink spots while relaxing on the couch. The top floor porch was my favorite. I liked the high chairs to sit and listen to the ocean. I also appreciated the ceiling fans! You will surely enjoy this location as we did!

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.

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.
