We had a great stay during our vacation! Very nice and clean accommodations. Loved that the beds were all made and ready on arrival! Good communication. Great space for everyone. Easy to get to the beach, convenient outdoor shower. Highly recommend!

Stayed at Happily Ever After in Kure Beach with my family of 6 plus my in-laws (8 total). The place was nice and clean and had modern features inside and out with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Owners were communicative and helpful. The location was really nice, not a far stroll at all to the beach access as well as the Kure Beach pier (with a handful of good places to eat) and the golf cart rental place. Would recommend to others.

- Geoffrey

We're incredibly grateful for your glowing review, Geoffrey! We're delighted to hear that Happily Ever After comfortably accommodated your family and provided you with easy access to all the amenities Kure Beach has to offer. Our family business strives to provide our guests with great communication. Our team looks forward to welcoming you back for many more memorable beach getaways!

Happily Ever After was everything we wanted and needed for our week long friends get together. The location of the property is perfect being a 2 minute walk from the beach and 5 minute walk from the Pier where there is great restaurants, an arcade and shopping. The house itself was perfect for our large party and was clean and well stocked. The iTrip management team was very responsive whenever we had questions or concerns about the property. Kure Beach is definitely in a great location with so many different beaches to test out nearby. We bought a week long pass to Fisher Island State Park where we drove our jeep on the sand right up to the ocean which was such a cool experience. The property is also 30-40 minutes away from Wilmington and Wrightsville beach which is a great location for a day trip as the beach is great for surfing, shopping and good food! I will definitely be coming back to Kure Beach and staying in this property.

- Jared

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Happily Ever After met all your needs. It's great to know you enjoyed the convenient location, just minutes from the beach and Pier, and found the house perfect for your large party. We're also pleased that you appreciated our responsive iTrip management team. It sounds like you had a fantastic time exploring the area. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

Great property, great location, and great customer service -- definitely recommend! Vacationed at the Kure beach early August 2023 with family (which includes 18 and 21 year old), grandparents, and sister and had a great time. The property was clean, well furnished, minimally decorated (which is a huge plus in my book), and comfortable. Grandma has mobility issues so having the elevator was a must but was especially helpful with getting gear in and out of the property. We had minor issue and itrip staff quickly responded and resolved the issue. The neighbors were pleasant, the neighborhood was quiet, and it was an easy walk to the beach (we rented a golf cart due to grandma's mobility issues otherwise we would have been fine without). Beach was not crowded but windy and we quickly understood the prolific use of the shibumi shade (and similiar products). As the family vacation planner I rely greatly on reviews of previous vacationers so I provide an honest assessment/review and this property is one that I recommend and would return to.

- Karen

Thank you so much for your glowing review Karen! We are so pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our excellent customer care, the prime location of the property, and the endless amenities of the home. We agree the elevator is a huge plus as well as the relaxing vibe! This quaint beach house is in a great neighborhood indeed! Thanks again for taking the time to give us great, honest feedback. We would love to have you back. Thanks for trippin' with iTrip!

We traveled to see family for the holidays. The house was everything we hoped it would be and more. More because, although it is a rental, there were homey touches throughout. Nice dishes, pretty bedspreads, etc. made you feel like home and not generic cheap rental items. The starter kit was such a thoughtful gesture and most welcome. Our vacation was outstanding and we highly recommend this property.

- Colleen

Stepping inside you immediately feel at home. This house offers spacious living from the back porch where you will catch beautiful views to the comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. This beach town is a hidden gem! We had fun renting a golf cart and exploring all the local flavors! This property does not disappoint. The elevator was a plus for loading and unloading luggage and groceries. Amenities galore! The beach chairs and wagon were a hit! Everything was so clean and the decor was well thought out. Bedrooms and living areas are spacious. Don’t he’s to book you don’t know what you are missing! The hosts are always responsive and were very gracious when asking for an early check in. Book now?

We came for a weekend girls trip and we all had a blast!! It was a first time to Kure Beach for all of us. We all wished we could have stayed longer. The house was beautiful, very convenient location to walk to the beach, and the host was super informative and timely!! Some of the pluses about the house were the provided linens and towels, starter kit for household items, and the door codes to enter rather than a key. I would definitely stay here again and would love to bring my family.

- Sarah

Sarah, thank you for the review! We are so happy that you had a great time on your girls trip, and your first visit to Kure Beach! It's wonderful to hear that the location, home equipment, communication with our team, and other little touches all made for a great weekend. We would love to have you and your family back for a visit in the future. Thank you for booking your girls trip with us!

TEN OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS CELEBRATED OUR THANKSGIVING AT "HAPPILY EVER AFTER" AND HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. THE HOME WAS SPOTLESS AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE OWNERS WAS SWIFT AND PAINLESS! EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN THE UNIT, WITH PLENTY OF DISHWARE, COOKWARE AND UTENSILS WE WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. ANYONE CONSIDERING RENTING THIS PROPERTY, SHOULD NOT HESITATE - IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. OUR WEATHER WAS PRETTY COOL, SO DIDN'T GET TO ENJOY THE BEACH MUCH, HOWEVER, IT IS JUST A VERY SHORT WALK AND WE ARE HOPING TO GET BACK THERE WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING A "HAPPILY EVER AFTER" VACATION TO OUR FAMILY! ESTHER WOLD
