Family Vacation

Great for a family vacation. Enough space to accommodate 12 of us! Including babies and kids. Elevator was handy as my mom was still recovering from knee surgery. Plenty of beach chairs and beach toys. Walk to the beach was very convenient and parking at the access was easy as well if you really don’t want to walk. Management was easy to work with and get a hold of.

Loving Kure Beach

We have typically spent the grandkids’ Spring break at either Myrtle Beach or Outer Banks. We are so happy to have found Kure Beach. It is a very friendly town with great beaches and restaurants and only a few minutes from Carolina Beach. Our rental was perfect, with ocean views and plenty of room for the whole family of seven.

Great house for beach getaway

House was perfect for our group of 11. Three king bed bedrooms with attached baths was a definite plus. Excellent location in residential area, one block from main road and very walkable to beach. Very well supplied kitchen.

Lovely home/Rental Company problems

The house is very nice and the kitchen is extremely well stocked. Great location for going to the beach. Beds were comfortable. Our biggest problem was check-in was supposed to be at 4. We planned all of our dinners at home to save money and we had 3 little ones that go to bed between 6 and 7 nightly. Cleaners finally finished at 7:30. Had to eat out which was very expensive. After unpacking, finally got the litlle ones in bed at 10 pm. The next 2 days were stressful due to 4 crabby children! Also, we always take shoes off at the door- our feet and socks were filthy after walking on the floors for 5 minutes. Otherwise it was very clean.We have not been offered any compensation for our inconvenience. I don't blame the owners, it is the rental company-iTrip. No one even contacted us that there would be a delay. We only found out when we went up to the door and couldn't get in and we contacted them.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Bella Mar. Everything was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable, we had plenty of linens and towels, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the bathrooms were huge. We also appreciated all of the beach extras in the garage like beach chairs, toys, and extra beach carts/wagons. The beach was a nice, short walk away!

Comfy as usual

This is our 4th summer stay at Bella Mar. Firstly, we enjoy Kure, nice and clean beach, not as crowded as nearby beaches. Secondly, Bella Mar is adequately appointed, very light and well laid out. The balcony provides a tranquil start to each morning. Enough room for out extended family of 10 and we aren't all on top of each other! Thirdly, block and a half to the beach via nearby access. All of these equates to return stay next summer! Madison and staff at itrip always provide timely communications before during and after the stay.

Bella Mar

My family really enjoyed our stay at Bella Mar. We had absolutely everything we needed for the week. The house is beautiful and perfect for our family of 10 as well as the dog. The house is conveniently located near the beach, good restaurants and grocery stores. It also came furnished with beach equipment which made the kids happy. The instructions provided prior to check in were very thorough and communications throughout our stay were easy and helpful. It was great to be able to reach out via text to get a quick response to our needs. If we’re ever in the NC area and in need of a beach home, we know who to contact.

Great time at Bella Mar

My entire family and I thoroughly enjoyed Bella Mar during our stay at Kure Beach. The house is in an area of town that's not crowded, so there's plenty of space to spread out on the beach for our crew of 11. The house itself was also spacious and all the essentials we needed. We felt right at home during our stay and definitely recommend this location.

Enjoying the beach life

We had a wedding to attend at Ft. Fisher and needed a place for the whole family to stay. 3 generations. I was a little worried about having everybody in close quarters, but Bella Mar is not close quarters. It is beautiful and spacious and we all had plenty of room to be together or on our own.

Perfect House for Our Group

Our stay at Bella Mar was great! The house was beautiful and clean and was well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with iTrip was easy and they were very responsive. The only disappointment was the fact that the elevator wasn’t operational as we had some older guests, but some things can’t be helped and everyone managed fine. I highly recommend this property!
