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

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

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!

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.

Ample space and amenities. The walk to the beach wasn't difficult at all and the placement of the property is central to the areas attractions. We absolutely enjoyed our stay!

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.

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.

Perfect distance from the beach, it’s about a 2 minute walk. You can see the water from the top floor! The amenities the property provides are everything you need. Beds are comfortable and plenty of places for entertainment!

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!

We loved our stay! The townhouse was perfect for our growing family. The place is well-kept and clean. The company was responsive and helpful. We will definitely recommend to our friends and stay again when in Kure Beach!
The walk was easy, even with a 3 month old baby!

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.

Very close walk to the beach! Multiple floors made sleeping arrangements good. Top floor for eating and entertaining. Good view of ocean from top deck.

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!

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!

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!

Our family had a terrific spring break trip to Kure Beach, NC staying at Bella Playa! The house was super clean, comfortable and updated. The location of the house was a short walk from beach access and a park with tennis courts. The house was convenient to many attractions in the area including the pier in Kure Beach and the Fort Fisher Aquarium. The folks at iTrip Vacations were terrific with their communication, knowledge and professionalism.

Bella Playa was great. There was plenty of room for our 2 families and several teens. Had a great time playing ping pong and spending time at the beach. There were a ton of beach chairs and a wagon available to get all of our stuff to the beach. Enjoyed a morning walk to the pier each morning. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had brought several kitchen items but didn’t need them as the unit had it. It even had a large pot for our seafood boil! Yummy. The living room and kitchen are on the third floor so we had a good view of the beach and there was ample seating for everyone. The elevator was helpful to get all of the food upstairs. I would highly recommend!

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 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!

We enjoyed our stay at Bella Playa very much. The info provided online was very accurate with respect to the amenities. The walk to the beach was as advertised - public beach access just across the main street from the house. The house is very bright and cheerful and very clean. They did a great job communicating with us, checking in via text and email both. We had a few questions while we were there and the team was very responsive to us and checked in mid-week as well. Highly recommend Bella Playa for your vacation!

My siblings and I booked Bella Playa for our annual vacation. There were 6 of us total and the house was very spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all clean and beautiful. The home has an open floor concept on the top level which was perfect when some of us were cooking and others just hanging out. The garage had all the perfect beach amenities - ping pong table, grill and beach chairs. The folks at iTrip were extremely responsive before and during the trip. They even posted a Sign saying Happy Birthday to my brother and sister (twins). I’m so glad for the experience we had at Bella Playa and will gladly book w iTrip in the future.
