It was a two minute walk to the beach which we visited every day, but also 5 minutes away from a super cool drive-on beach that we also went to. The location is close to the heart of Kure Beach with restaurants nearby as well as Carolina Beach just down the road. The property managers were great anytime we had questions or concerns, they helped us promptly. I will definitely be back to Happily Ever After soon! ##### Jared A.

Location was convenient to beach access, the Kure Beach pier w restaurants, and the golf cart rental place. Just be aware that it's a duplex unit. Our neighbors while we were there were quiet, though, but you never know what your luck may be. Instructions were very particular, but nothing too odd. The elevator was the only thing that was finicky. Would not suggest using based on the warnings of service charges if you do something wrong. But overall, a really fine place, can't complain. ##### Dale L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricky T.

Jul 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Beach Retreat We recently stayed at happily ever after for a week of rest and relaxation with our kids and our best friends and their kids (total of three adults and six kids ages 9-13) From the moment we booked communication was on point....about two weeks or so before our vacation we received a welcome email with all the details of our stay and information about the surrounding areas. We even received an email when our unit was ready for early check in. The minute we arrived and unlocked the door we knew we made a good choice, the house was immaculate and exactly as described, actually I'm wrong it was BETTER!! The house had everything we needed for a week vacation at the beach, not only in the home but outside as well, they even had multiple beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon!!!!! The two decks were a nice touch and gave us a comfortable spot to relax in the evenings. The location was perfect, literally a two min walk to the beach and about a five min walk to the pier and plenty of places to eat. Carolina beach is just a few one was down the beach if your into more of a tourist experience and the fisher aquarium is a 2 minute drive in the opposite direction. It was a perfect change of morning activity for the kids on day four.... We will be back in the future and highly recommend booking with iTrip, we know we will be. Thank you for making our vacation a great one. ##### julianne f. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Krystyna S.

Aug 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Short walk to the beach The location was beautiful and quiet. Just a very short walk to the beach. The home itself had more than enough space for my family and I, and the elevator was very convenient for our luggage/ groceries. However, we did not have any hot water or cold water coming out of the shower during our 4 night stay except for when we first got there. Before arriving I was told via email that the place had been checked and inspected before our arrival yet the moment we got there the water heater was already beeping. This was a big inconvenience especially to my sister and her young children, one being an infant. They could not shower the entire time except for Saturday evening. Different people come out to the property to check it out but unfortunately nothing was solved. I was then told on Saturday the day before we checked out that we could use the outdoor shower of the unit next door. Whomever I was speaking to were good about communicating at first and they said I would be compensated for the inconvenience and I have yet to receive any information on that. This would of easily been a 4 star stay had there not been a mishap with the water heater. ##### Patsy S.

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.

Jul 16, 2022 #### Sandtastic 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 D.

This property is beautiful and pristine. If you or anyone in your party needs elevator access like we did, this is the place for you. Had some questions about the property and they were very speedy with their responses. So nice! ##### Charlotte B.

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 ##### ESTHER W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ralauni S. Oct 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice weekend getaway The townhouse was two and half blocks from the beach and had all the necessities to make our trip enjoyable! Only thing I wish they had, was furniture on the master bedroom deck, so we could watch the sunrise without walking to the three floor deck. Overall, great place! ##### Ralauni S.
