Fun family retreat
We really loved the proximity to the beach access path and the beach. It was a bonus to be able to see the ocean from the front porch.
It was great to have our own pool. The children spent many hours in there. We appreciated the pool towels.
Especially liked the floor plan of the kitchen and living room. Very open and family friendly. We did all of our eating there and never went out. Parking is good. We were 6 adults and 4 children and it was just the right amount of room with plenty of bathrooms. Great communication with the property owner.

Not what it’s made out to be
The house was filthy, with mold growing in shower curtains and lipstick stains on most glasses in the cabinet. The rental agency reminded us at every turn that they were a “family run business,” which seemed to be their excuse for anything from over-charging for pet fees beyond what was listed, missing items in the house, the level of filth, and the non-working arcade game supposedly being for “decorative purposes only.” The house does not have arcade games. It has one. Bugs came out everywhere and the rental agency tried to frame that as normal by putting a sign on the refrigerator that cockroaches were ok. This house is not worth the price and the rental agency, who offers gift card bribes for positive reviews, only made it worse. Their emails were long, confusing, and most often not tailored to the amenities of a specific property, which required follow up on renter’s part to clarify. Writing clear, property specific emails, having attention to detail, cleaning the house, and adjusting the listing to accurately reflect the property features instead of what the property aspires to be would be important improvements.

First and last visit
I’ll be brief: it’s gross. Cockroaches in the bathrooms, standing water in the shower, flies that bite you by the pool. Sand in the sheets joins arrival, dirty pool, cardboard on the floor. Grill area is run down. Just not well loved. Not worth the money and absolutely won’t be staying with ITrip again.

We loved the pool and the outdoor kitchen/recreational area was perfect for our family! This was our first time to Kure Beach and we enjoyed it. We wish we could have had more of an ocean view—It was just a small glimpse from the house front porch as it was on the second row. But it was a short walk to the beach and we found that to be pleasant. Thank you again for a great stay!!!!

Good but could be better
Location was great! The house was nice! Short walk to the beach and Ft. Fisher museum.
The house had too much "technology". Ceiling fans and light with remotes. Some didn't work. TVs had too many choices for streaming. Some were Roku and some Apple TV, couldn't get some to stream channels correctly. Took a while to find what switches turned different lights on and off, never found the switch for ine set of lights in the living room. One closet light came on at random times.
Pool lights didn't work, so no night swimming unless you turned on the suoer bright floodlights. Grill didn't half work. The smaller grill was falling apart.
Junk and "trash" lying around the pool area. Old deflated floatie things just thrown over in the corner. Old blue tarp covering something. Bucket full of water attracting mosquitoes. Old box spring lying against the fence. Fence lock on the outside of the fence, had to reach around to open it.
Expected more for as much as we paid. We loved the house and the location but all the inconveniences were a little much.
