We had a great stay at Bella Mar! They were so accommodating and were even able to get in a little earlier than check in which was fantastic. Excellent communication if I had any questions and the walk to the beach was better than expected. The bed I slept in on the top floor wasn't soft (had very little give) but that's my personal opinion. Others may like that. Overall excellent experience and would recommend.

Bella Mar review

My family was very pleased with accommodations at Bella Mar. anything we could have needed was provided. The house was spacious and ample room for all of us. Easy access to the beach, plenty of chairs provided. The locals are friendly and welcoming. Close proximity to grocery stores and dining. But enough provided in the kitchen to allow for cooking and grilling. Highly recommend this home.

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 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!
