We spent our thanksgiving holiday here with a family of nine and it was an amazing. The rooms worked out well for each member and we had plenty of space to spread out for kids and adults. We only had one hiccup which was no hot water when we arrived but the property managers worked to get that fixed quickly as possible, even during a holiday hours. Very pleased with our stay and would choose this home or another property with this company again.

Pros: The location of this property was the best part. The property provided a good amount of towels and each set was individually wrapped which I personally liked. The amount have space was also nice since we had a family of 12. The central vacuum was amazing! The porches were spacious and had enough chairs. Cons: The cleanliness needed improvements. Underneath the couch looked liked it had not been vacuumed in awhile. In between the couch and futon needed to be cleaned. The couch should be replaced it is worn. The area rugs needed some deep cleaning. The shower I used had mold built up that needs to be removed and redone. This was not anyones fault but the AC was not working properly which is a nightmare for anyone’s beach trip. However if it did not break we would not have met the best HVAC technician. Alan was amazing and our family was so glad to have met him. He had the best customer service, personable, professional and just a down right genuine good guy! Fantastic rating for Alan! Thanks again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was great! Lots of space for a group of 10, well equipped kitchen, and very clean. Just a 2 min walk from the water. Road noise is a little loud towards the front of the house, but that comes with the ocean view at Kure. Would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at The Better Life in Kure Beach. The house was as pictured and provided plenty of room for our extended family. It was wonderful that the older kids could have their own space in the game rooms! The location of the house provides easy access to the beach (like a block away) and is a quick walk to the pier where there are restaurants, a coffee shop, and an arcade.Pros: Great layout for families with the Jack and Jill bathrooms. The elevator (which you don't have to actually ride in!) makes it so easy to unload and load every floor. Lots of outdoor space with comfortable furniture. There is an outdoor shower, which isn't listed, to make cleaning up after the beach much easier. The house has a central vacuum which is very useful for sand control! The kitchen seemed to have everything we needed, except for an ice cream scoop. While the kitchen was well stocked, it still had room to use a couple cabinets as food storage/pantry.Needs attention: The shower door in the 2nd floor bathroom doesn't close so water gets...everywhere. The AC on the bottom floor was not great; we kept the temperature higher than recommended and it still never seemed to cool that floor down. The list of amenities includes a "wine/beverage cooler," but there is not one at the house. Given the number of people the house can accommodate, a drink fridge would be useful. The coffee maker has seen better days; even a new drip pot would be helpful.(Whenever that dryer gets replaced, find one where you can turn off the buzzer. It is LOUD and cannot be turned off...not great when you want to do laundry while the kids are sleeping!)We have worked with Bryant Real Estate in the past and have been happy with our experiences; we will definitely use them again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The communications from Bryant Real Estate were consistent and provided easy instructions for check-in, check-out, getting there, etc. I called ahead with a few questions ahead of time and received prompt answers. Our only issue was with the cleanliness of the rental along with cleaning supplies. We noticed that the countertops were not wiped down and the floors were not mopped. Also, we were left with no soap in the bathrooms (for handwashing) and just 1 dishwasher pod left under the sink. There was no dish soap.... thankfully we brought many of our own supplies, but it was disappointing to see the most basic essentials were not provided, especially with COVID concerns.

The house is extremely close to the beach access and was perfect for our group. Had everything we needed and it was clean.

It was awful there were giant cockroaches everywhere some of my family left and went to a hotel... we waited all day for a guy with a spray can to show up..what a joke! They were crawling on us in the shower everywhere. I complained to the management who just responded saying that since it happened on the weekend they weren’t able to get a real exterminator and has completely ignored my request for a partial refund and to reimburse my family member for their hotel!!!
