Wonderful Retreat!

We have enjoyed our stay at Bella Playa. We are at a work retreat and there is plenty of room to work during the day but also retreat to our own spaces in the evening. The weather is amazing and the town is so cute! Don't hesitate to book your vacation here!

Perfect beach house

The property was lovely, exactly as described in the listing. Really spacious rooms with plenty of common areas. Kitchen was large and well stocked, made it easy to cook big family dinners. The neighborhood is great, walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. Property managers are very communicative, made checking in and out very easy. Would happily stay there again!

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!!

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 place

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
